The point of the last message wasn't who will buy from whom and shows what happened between both me, Lance, and First Star. I even included a link to the topic where someone bought a repro of Boulderdash and I'm being treated like a bad guy for asking a RELIABLE source if a company is on the up and up. BTW, I kept the email that I posted and it proves neither of you had the rights to make repros of Boulderdash until after I contacted Firststar (which I had to find out from firststar themselves). Albert, please close this, this is turning into a real hate fest and these replies claiming that I'm at fault. The fact that video is telling lies and half truths only makes it worse. Rude posts doing nothing but make light of this only make it worse too. All I want is a normal conversation without this internet crap....

Noting More was intended.

video61atarisales Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I think this says it all: No problem Brian. Thank you for contacting us in the first place. We certainly didn't mean to get you involved. As it turned out Video61 did indeed have TONS of finished goods they purchased from different sources decades ago; but, they (as well as Atari Sales) do make cartridges today and that is not permitted-well it wasn't but we'll be working out a royalty structure with Atari Sales (who sells carts to Video61) so everyone benefits. Thank you again for your kind understanding. Have a great weekend, Richard ------Original Message------ From: Brian Clark To: Richard Spitalny Subject: Re: Email about video 61 Sent: Feb 25, 2011 9:35 PM ok. Thanks for the reply. Sorry about the tone in last message. It seems Video 61 wasn't honest with me and I'm sorry I was hasty.

We did deep research before contacting them. BOTH companies DO manufacture new copies of our games and this had to be resolved and has been to everyone's mutual satisfaction. The inventory that Video61 has, that is original is different. We have no idea how this somehow made its way back to you but I do apologize. The conversation with Video61 occurred late on a Friday and Dianne had left and she wanted to contact you herself and had no idea that this couldn't wait until Monday. Again, we're sorry, Richard (President, First Star Software) ------Original Message------ From: Brian Clark To: info@firststarsoftware.com Subject: Email about video 61 Sent: Feb 25, 2011 8:11 PM Dear Firststar, I had a nasty reply from video 61 due to your mistake in going straight to accusing them. I asked if they were legit with Boulderdash becuase I thought you would know for sure about this matter rather than causing a scene. I was thinking of buying from them and wanted to check to see if it was licensed from you. I'm especially disappointed that you never sent me a reply back telling me that they were legit and left me to be the scapegoat. -Brian Clark Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Here's what Video 61 sent: Brian, why didn't you just ask me first? some of the carts i sell are loose carts, and i would let you know they are loose, because that is all i got from atari. i must have a 100 or more loose carts of each of these titles, pacman, ozzys orchard, abracadabra, as well as many others. so if you only want boxed ones, please ask. its what most of my customers do. boulderdash is loose, but astrochase is boxed, etc. i bought many many games out of atari, i also spent much time and money acquiring other games. visit scott adams of adventure international, and you will see a direct link on his site, to mine. he gave me permission to port his games to cart, and sell them. i used to pay him a license fee, but he kindly dropped that after about a decade. i do not need constant fighting over this. it will be hard to swallow the cost of this. you could start by mentioning on atariage, that you goofed, and i have the right to sell my inventory, otherwise it will cast a pall over my business that i do not need. lance www.atarisales.com On Feb 25, 2011, at 6:59 PM, Brian Clark wrote: I'm sorry about firststar's response to my email to them. I asked them about your games becuase I was interested in ordering Boulderdash and I thought they would know for sure if any deals were made with them. Anyway, if you read my posts in the Atariage forum, you would know I asked becuase I was interested in some of the games in the store and I like to play it safe before I order things. I don't know what to do to make it up, but I feel Firststar is more at fault here. -Brian Clark aka BrianC Maybe "threats" was a bit harsh, but in this very topic you tell me I owe you over this and then you talk to me in a condesending tone telling me to make your business lookmgood. That comes across as shady to me. i am putting this behind me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianC Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 I hate to reply again, but I think my first post my have been misunderstood.

Tin_Lunchbox Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Arrgh. I hate to see a loyal Atari 8bit dealer get stressed. I expressed some skepticism about the list myself, in part because I didn't realize what a mixed bag (repros, originals, you-name-its) I was looking at, or how hard Video 61 has worked over the years to get the permissions. Sorry! To try to ease any aggravations I contributed to, I am ordering 7 titles from Video 61. If anyone else wants to get some too, here's the cartridges page and here's the disks page. Lance, please chalk up the last 36 hours or whatever to a misunderstanding and silly kerfluffle that no-one should stay mad about for long.

svenski Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Brian, I'm a bit confused as to why you are angry at First Star Software. You did post in this thread that you had contacted them so it wasn't hard for Lance to put 2 and 2 together and see what had prompted First Star to contact him - First Star only acted on your correspondence to them.

You did post in this thread that you had contacted them so it wasn't hard for Lance to put 2 and 2 together and see what had prompted First Star to contact him - First Star only acted on your correspondence to them. I'm not angry at first star. The top post was the last one recieved. I was angry when Lance sent his message before giving me the full story and after firststar gave me the full story, I'm no longer angry. BTW, I knew that Lance got permission for some of his games, but Boulderdash is a property where companies made deals to sell it in the past. BTW, I'm well aware not all the games on the list are repros, but, as was said, the list doesn't say which are repros and which aren't (and Boulderdash is one that was a repro (which I found out about from a post here on the Atari Age forums and even linked to with a hyperlink in a previous post with the word "This". Why are those missed?) and before I emailed Firststar, it was sold without permission). Please read the first star emails again, from bottom to top. When I was angry at firststar, I thought Lance got permission for Boulderdash before I contacted firststar, but firststar told me otherwise. BTW, I don't think there would have been any issue if the permission for Boulderdash was secured in the first place.

BrianC Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 also, if you read previous posts I made a post with proof that Lance got the rights to Archer MacLean and even said in the first post in this topic that I knew that he had permission for some of his games, I don't know why Lance went on me about cart only games since I knew not all were cart only, that not all were repros, and that Boulderdash was the game in question.

qix_maniac Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) I've heard rumors Kjmann got a lot of grief on ebay for selling reproductions and not stating as such. I myself like the enhancments of the games as if they are sold as reproductions and stated they are then no one should be upset. I just wish the quality of the cartridge labels at v61 where as sharp as those Kjmann produces with his carts. I'd know what I'm buying and therefore would buy from both of them...maybe Brian you were trying to get some free stuff either from FirstStar or V61 by raising hell!? I think this thread should be deleted all together in my opinion! Edited February 26, 2011 by qix_maniac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that we have to support our add-on vendor (atarimax (steve) , candle...) for sure. The other vendors, like Best Electronics , B& C and others alike, is great if we can support them, but lete's not forget that they are selling either to make money or to recover losses. Otherwise, they would only charge shipping and handling, but some of this vendor would charge lots of money for some parts...

I agree for the most part with your statement, although I think that some sellers just aren't "playing fair" with the community, and should be avoided.

Hello Lance, Thank you for your prompt reply and sharing with us how it came to pass that you have original, packaged copies of our games. You do, indeed, have First Star Software's permission to continue to sell any original inventory, manufactured in the past, that you possess. Our only concern was that new, unauthorized copies of our games were being manufactured and sold. Please feel free to publish/share this email with others. e.g. on your site, in forums, etc. We thank you for your support years ago and we wish you continued success!
