imstarryeyed Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Totally signed up for another year. Collectorvision do you have "stretch goal" numbers like you have had in the past. (e.g. If we get X number of members we will throw in an additional game, etc?) I always thought that brought some nice extra value and incentive for folks to sign up again and for the first time. Looking forward to another great year of games from you all again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! If we reach 800 members (or more) we'll have a 4th Secret Game! It's going to be an arcade conversion! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF31 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Ordered for year 5 (and buying for a lot longer). Just a few questions JF. What does 'Summer of 2023' mean? While I realize problems arise this could mean June or July or August or September... maybe October. Hell it's Summer in December in Austrailia... Games I've purchased recently were to be 'shipped' mid-December... I just got and email that the "CA PO received info from collectorvision"... I'm guessing for these games purchased. Please do not promise what you can not deliver. YES, I KNOW! that I will get the item(s) ordered. Before 'certain' individuals 'flame' me / ban me... I've been buying since 'day one' with JF and Toby. Collectorvision IS a fine 'company' - please purchase the items that they offer for your system. It is quality stuff (well except for that early manual... 😀). OK - off the soapbox. Now I will stop 'bitchin' +1 to the goal of 800!!!

1980gamer Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Intellivision ROMS have been included the past 2 or 3 years. Are this this year as well? If so, adding a little something in the Intellivision Forum may get a few more on board. Many of us owned Both Intellivision and Colecovision systems BITD and still do. Intellivision's community seems to be growing also. I am shocked but happy about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sargon Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I'm in for my 4th consecutive year, but unfortunately I missed out on the first one. Maybe someday we can get an option to purchase missed club games from prior years??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Summer mean, between June to September What do you mean by ''Do not promise what you can deliver'' Are you reffering to the 4th game? If so, then the game has been completed for 2 years now and has been fully tested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, he completely forgot to order the overlays for Robotron, hence why there was a delay Sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe something like "These games are fully exclusive to the club and will never be sold outside of the club." Would anyone really object to that? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what it restrain us from doing it Besides, that's the whole point of the Club of having the games 100% exclusive You got to subscribe to make sure to not miss any titles I feel like it's even more true for the 2023 edition of the Club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest there shouldn't be any tweaking 5 years into it. In that case you might as well not have the club. Then anyone could just buy in one time and such for any game from any year.. doesn't really feel exclusive then. Perhaps there is a digital to those who missed out, but I am not sure that they even ever let that happen as you didn't buy in on the first year. Maybe someone would sell theirs to you.. Just my 2 cents. Edited January 2 by AtariBrian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy B clear Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Third year for me and I've LOVED every year so far!!! Great value considering the physical carts + all the roms (& mag now). Anyone "on the fence" should just pull the trigger, you won't be disappointed!!! Let's hit the 800 mark!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapahute Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 11 hours ago, JEFF31 said: What does 'Summer of 2023' mean? Something I have learnt during all these years is that in homebrew game manufacturing, when a date is announced, everybody should understand that it means the game won’t be available before that date… and not that it will be released at that date. My 2 cents. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my 2 cents. I think many people missed the first year. So if an exception was made, maybe it should be for first year game(s) only. However I really don't know if it is an exception. It states exclusive to this club. Not specifically this club year. I could understand "this" being interpreted as "this years" club. But that brings me back to the first year. As no one would know that the club would be repeated for x years. As someone that would love to see them reach 800 members, it seems to me joining the "club" should allow you to buy "club" exclusive games. I may need to part with my exclusive games someday ( I hope not ). I get the value is greater as things stand now. But for the good of the community, growing it should be the first goal.

+evg2000 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I've been in the club the whole time, in fact I'm number 1. I would not be happy if the rules changed. Would make me reconsider joining in the future. Because I could wait to see if I want the games and then buy them. And it literally says they will not make or sell more copies. We're NOT going to make or sell more copies! In other words, this is your only chance to get those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're NOT going to make or sell more copies! In other words, this is your only chance to get those games. I totally get your point of view. It may even be mine as well. The games should remain secret. You would buy "Secret Game #1" etc. It is a leap of faith, as it was for us the first time around. Of course the price could/should be much higher after the fact. Please understand, I am only looking at this as someone that has not been in the club prior. Trying to grow the numbers. For me, the Magazine was the highlight of last years club and what I am most looking forward to this time around. Hmm, I haven't looked... Are the "secret games" known outside of us club members? I am certain some have been sold. But I haven't seen obvious leaking of this information. I guess an EBAY search might turn up something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
