Tursi Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Just one last post before this fades away, I've posted the promised story of how it was put together. I experimentally did it using Google Slides, and I'm not sure I love the feel of it, but all the information is there and I think everything I've ever been asked should be presented there. Enjoy! https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1u7SOusjQDInq95GrEH2tmIphUAjRg-9YbhR_X25D62A 16 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/287760-dragons-lair-is-sold-out/page/14/#findComment-4269846 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPR Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Please do... that just increases the value of the rest of them I really hope people aren't just sitting on these, un-opened and un-played, in the hopes that they will be able to eventually flip them on eBay for a high price. A homebrew game like this is meant to played and appreciated! It always frustrates me to see the people who have bought a copy of a limited release just to sit on it as it deprives someone else who actually wanted to PLAY the game...

+Ksarul Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Actually, I would say that a good number of the people who bought these bought them to play--not to collect, although some of us do both. . .and the number sold wasn't limited so much as the time period to make the order. Pretty much anyone who had the funds during the availability period and wanted to buy got one. The problems were really later, once sales had closed and then there were a few who decided they wanted one too late to get one (or they found out too late, but were in the same boar). I know I have fun playing with mine--and the box is carefully protected in my collection too. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/287760-dragons-lair-is-sold-out/page/14/#findComment-4273592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Actually, I would say that a good number of the people who bought these bought them to play--not to collect, although some of us do both. I didn't mean to "collect" I mean to "flip." We see it so much in the homebrew community. You'll have a certain number of people buying up limited homebrew releases specifically to flip on eBay to sell to those who missed the deadline or didn't have the funds at that time. I've seen ColecoVision releases go for hundreds of dollars and the original homebrewer doesn't get to see a penny of that for all their hard work. It's unfortunate and there's nothing really anyone can do about it since once a homebrewer stop producing copies it then just becomes a sellers market to the one with the deepest pockets. And IMO, it's one thing if you bought a copy to legit play, and then later down the road you're not into said console or computer as much and you decide to sell off your collection, but those who buy specifically for flipping just frustrate me, that's all... 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/287760-dragons-lair-is-sold-out/page/14/#findComment-4273594 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one of those who ordered extra copies at the end, and I'm happy to report that we often had 2 players at once at Midwest Gaming Classic (this is a really high foot traffic event.) We still have people excited to see the Pitfall cartridge. Philip was gracious enough to allocate two of them for our show, out of the original sales run. 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/287760-dragons-lair-is-sold-out/page/14/#findComment-4273626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
