+Andrew Davie Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 sounds good, and if you pay for it now andrew will have it sent to you "complete" by christmas 2005 IMHO that was a bit underhanded. Since I'm getting nothing at all from sales or distribution of GreetingCart, I don't think that was necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 sounds good, and if you pay for it now andrew will have it sent to you "complete" by christmas 2005 I don't think problem is, it's not you don't think, it's you don't CARE!!! you would NEVER see ME owing ANYONE for very long! you have the product yet you WON"T ship!

uosipa llamxew Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 Well, the Fuji itself sorta looks like a tree Neat Idea. :-) I got bored in class and doodled one. Out of nowhere I had a dumb idea for a hack. Beat 'Em & Eat 'Em to a game where you catch snowflakes on your tongue. Maybe the little Jerker up top could be changed to a cloud or something. Heheh. DUH! kbye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 That's actually a cool Idea, include it as a game on the greeting cart, that would be awesome. I still think the dancing baby in front of the tree with twinkling lights would be cool, even the Atari Fujii simbol as a tree would be cool. How bout a log burning? It wouldn't require much color, I'll admit, but it wold need many frames of animation (or ripping the animation from a real fire which wouldn't be hard to do IMO) I think the manuel explaining a little about ChronoColor would be awesome, and have some of your Concept games listed in there as well, though the only one's I've seen were the FuKung game, and the tempest like Color tube demo.

ATARI TROLL Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 I still think the cart is a great idea! The Christmas Fuji pic @ Andrew: I think waiting for something is worth it... especially a one of a kind idea! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care, and happy holidays! Rick As Rick will know very well, I've offered an immediate refund to those who could not wait any longer for deliveries - and I suggest he take advantage of that offer. I know it's been an unacceptable amount of time - and I'm quite happy to end things quickly and refund your money plus generous interest via PayPal transfer right now. If Rick wishes to be one of those people who insist "I don't want my money back, I want what I paid for!" then that's fine, too. As I've written to him several times, it is going slowly, but I am getting to the last few deliveries. Out of the 90 or so completed packages, there were only half a dozen people who, despite my specific request to notify me on arrival, actually DID notify me. There have been 4 packages which have been returned to me as the address was incorrect. I had requested if anyone changed address that they'd let me know. Rick was one who has been doing this, but others haven't. If you wish to accuse me of dishonesty, Rick, then why not just request a refund and see how that goes. So far I have had NO requests for refund at all. I'd love to get the Qb monkey off my back, too, and will be MOST HAPPY to send you funds and be done with it. I will also contact Rick privately.

+Andrew Davie Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 Looks good, but I had my heart set on a Yule Log. I don't live in North America - I don't know what a 'Yule' is, nor why it has a log. I'd like something with a BIT of international flavour.

Albert Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 That looks fantastic! We need a non-denominational image, too, as not everyone celebrates Christmas. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elllleeott! Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 A Yule Log is basically just a fireplace, usually decorated for the holidays with stockings hanging from the mantle. I just thought it would be cool to have a fireplace with a moving fire dancing around in it with some festive holiday music playing in the background.

I forgive you, because you're new to the Atari world. Displaying a single static (non animating) image in colour is a minor miracle in itself. Forget sound and animation, there's no room in a 4K cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uosipa llamxew Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Wow! I'm amazed! I didn't know you could display something with such detail on the VCS! I was making up a different mockup (I was pretty sure that was impossible till I saw your post, now I'm not sure what is possible. I'll post it anyways in case it can help with the final program) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Entries for the Stan Awards are due before Midnight Dec. 15 2003. They must be released in a form that is available to the general public and where I can have access to them (more on this in the Event Forum later). Neat idea. But is the market too limited?

Adrian M Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Is there any way the AA Store can give us potential Christmas Cart buyers a somewhat concrete idea as to how much this special cart will cost and/or any potential deals (ie: buy $50 worth of AA merchanise and get the Christmas cart free, etc) so that we can plan our holiday Atari purchases accordingly?

ATARI TROLL Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Andrew. That image is awesome! doesn't sound like you would take two years. I was able to look at the bin at work (shame on me) The stella (mac) versions just don't care for it. Glad I had PCAE as a backup. Thumbs up!
