Albert Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 AFAIK the clear cart version is only for demo purpose (and maybe to convince everybody mentioned above ). Yes' date=' I made it to see how it would look (I think it looks nice in the clear case), and to show Thomas. And also to use it as fuel for this debate as I knew it would come up.

StanJr Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 SEE! That looks cool, I would buy that. ** **see above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I' date=' in no way, consider a clear cart Thrust to be a new version.[/quote']Sorry, since you missed buying the game before, your opinion is irrelevant right now. Heck, if you would allow it to be sold in a clear cart, I may FINALLY buy one!** **only if I get a guarantee from you that if there is a new version, I get the newer version free! Ok, how exactly do you define "new version"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Ok' date=' how exactly do you define "new version"? [/quote'] Any of the bits inside the binary changes and it's a new version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Any of the bits inside the binary changes and it's a new version. Silent minor bugfixes are forbidden then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Any of the bits inside the binary changes and it's a new version. Silent minor bugfixes are forbidden then? Yep, strictly forbidden. That is almost Micro$oft territory you're stepping into here. You may as well make the cart flashable and have people download patches every couple months.

moycon Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Months? I could make a patch every day! Can you hack in some bologna sandwiches? I personally thought that was the one thing that could make this good game....great. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Can you hack in some bologna sandwiches? Sure! Send me your cart and a few original bologna sandwiches (for testing purpose only ) and I'll do my very best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Ok' date=' how exactly do you define "new version"? [/quote'] Any of the bits inside the binary changes and it's a new version. I'm with CPUWiz on this one. Changing the color of the packaging of a game like this is irrelevant to the actual game itself. Is there any difference between a first run PS2 game and the "Greatest Hits" variant of the same game in most/any instance beyond the black background behind the "Playstation 2" logo being changed to red and the cheaper cost? Both have the same game you want to play, all the bits preserved and the same faqs will help you on either one. -- Mord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is why I wait, and still don't have Thrust yet....I just know you can't leave it alone. Seriously, if I were to buy Thrust, I think I would want it in the clear cart. It looks SO good. Oh, and a new version is anytime you make any changes to the code and rerelease the game and say "Look, its better, I changed it!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian M Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 You may as well make the cart flashable and have people download patches every couple months. Months? I could make a patch every day! mmm...I envision a version of Thrust made especially for the less-skilled players out there---like me! Features like: *99 lives *non-firing enemy turrets! *ability to toggle off "reverse gravity"!!! *invincible pods *a shield for your ship that protects against collisions with walls. *etc! What say you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuddy Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 "Another version"? Bullshit. If it were really a new version it would have something different like new levels, altered graphics, or some crap like that. You probably just don't want the clear cart to be sold because you think it looks ugly, and if so, you have poor taste. I'm so pissed off right now, I'm going to beat up my neighbor's dog.

SS Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Hey' date=' thanks for using JoustPong as the example cart [/quote'] I'm sure that it was chosen because it just looks so "right" in that blue casing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesmooth Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Don't get your hopes up for this, the market is far to small for double-ender games for anyone to go through the huge expensive of creating a plastic mold for. Ballpark figure, how much is "huge expense"? Anywhere from $3k to $10k for the tool mold and setup, not including the mechanical engineering that needs to go into creating the model and the time spent dealing with it.
