Atari Charles Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Cyplix Game Gear for the Cyplix hack I did for the Atari 2600. Some people love Cyplix and some people hate it. http://www.cafepress.com/shop/games/browse...Ne-25_nr-1_bt-2 And the original article on Cyplix: http://beepbopboop.heavysixer.com/index.ph...task=view&id=49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shep Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yes I love that so much I'm gonna buy it all! Cyplix mugs, hats, shirts, pins, book bags, sweaters, watches, knives, toothbrushes, hats, stuff animals, and mugs all branded with the Cyplix game images.

Atari Charles Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 From: Kepone To: Atari Charles Posted: Tue Oct 26, 2004 2:26 pm Subject: Re: Charles Quote message Go ahead and name a ghost Kepone. I can't really stop you but I don't think it would be that negative to do so. However, please point me to the ROM when you're finished. I'd like to check it out. Later. ****** So Kepone, how can you now say that I can't carry a Kepone Mug on Cafe Press? I'll be emailing them as well with you PM attached so I can prove that you gave me the go ahead to use your username Kepone as one of the sea ghosts.

Brad2600 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 No you can't, Charles. I understand that you hate my guts and wanted to start a game character to express this. But, you never said you were going to turn around and start SELLING stuff with kepone on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Charles Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 Kepone, you gave me permission to name one of the ghosts Kepone. This merchandise simply reflects the game. No, I don't hate you at all. Also, you knew that I had planned to sell the Cyplix cartridge, so now why are you against the mugs? You should be flattered.

Brad2600 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Flattered? I'd be flattered if your game was actually GOOD. But I don't want my name on some P.O.S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Charles Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 Kepone is the name of a Sea Cy-Ghost. You gave me permission to use the name Kepone for one of the Sea Cy-Ghosts. As I said in the PM I sent to you, I am willing to give you a cut of any profits made by the sale of any Kepone items on Cafe Press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Bah. Good luck trying to sell anything. I intended that permission towards the original ROM only. Not the merchandise. If I had known that you would have planned to sell things, I would not have given you permission. Therefore, you are in the wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Charles Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 My Response: You gave me permission to use the name Kepone for one of the Sea Cy-Ghosts. I could not and cannot read your mind, so when you gave me permission in the words you did, I could only assume that you meant for anything Cyplix. Also, you do not have copyright to the name Kepone. Here are some links for you and everyone to visit to show that the name Kepone existed before you started using it as a username. You copyrighting Kepone is like me copyrighting the name Charles A link to a Southern Band "Kepone" http://www.southern.com/southern/band/KEPON/biog.html A kind of substance: ehp.niehs.nih.gov/roc/tenth/profiles/s100kepo.pdf Kepone fish data: http://www.deq.virginia.gov/fishtissue/kepone.html Kepone Chemical http://www.vdb.org/smackn.acgi$tapedetail?KEPONE Another Kepone band: http://www.grunnenrocks.nl/index.html?band...ds/k/kepone.htm Song by The Dead Kennedys: http://www.zmag.org/songs/Kepone%20Factory.htm Kepone Factory Dead Kennedys I finally found a job in the paper Movin’ barrels at a chemical plant There’s shiny-looking dust on my fingers Goin’ up my nose and into my lungs It’s the Kepone poisoning -- Minamata Kepone poisoning -- Minamata At the grimy Kepone Factory Turning people into bonzai trees Now I’ve got these splitting headaches I can’t quite get it up no more I can’t sleep and it’s driving me crazy I shake all day and I’m seeing double Kepone poisoning -- Minamata Kepone poisoning -- Minamata At the grimy Kepone Factory Turning people into bonzai trees Gonna go down to your big metal building Gonna slam right through your bright metal door Gonna grab you by your sta-prest collar And ram some kepone down your throat The lawyer says "That’s the breaks, kid "Gonna gnarl and rot the rest of your life "If you don’t sue, we’ll give you a Trans-Am" That I’ll never drive cos I shake all the time ’Cause of the Kepone poisoning -- Minamata Kepone poisoning -- Minamata At the grimy Kepone factory... Comments: >From "In God We Trust, Inc." (1981) And thus and therefore, you have no legal right to control the use of Kepone. I was being considerate by emailing you as your username and the chemical compound "Kepone" are the same and thus I wanted you to be OK with using the name Kepone.

Atari Charles Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 Kepone, I live in a capitalist land but am more a socialist. I am not greedy as: I never created Cyplix to make a million bucks The mark up is really low on the Cyplix Game Gear And I am willing to share the profits of the Kepone items with you. So how am I greedy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mock Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 the only way this could be any better is if there were Armor All involved somehow...lol. That store stuff is great...lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Charles Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 Kepone, I think you have a lot of friends on and at Atari Age. The Kepone Sea Cy-Ghost is not a jab against you at all. It is simply a character in a game that in no way represents you. I just happened to think Kepone would be a cool name for a cycloptic ghost. *** and to Mock. You have a funny sense of humor, a high IQ, and dashing good looks...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cootster Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Damn, I was hoping you'd hacked the GG version of Ecco or something to make a Cyplix II . . . Wha? Cpuwiz doesn't get his own gear, too? I mean, even though he's not a big Cyplix fan, he'd have probably bought one, at least. You missed the boat there, Charles. And the game's not a PoS . . . Heck, it's one of the better generic Taiwan pirate ganes. . . Now, if fixing that endless score-crawl could be done, that would be an immense improvement, though. PS: When are the carts coming?

Brad2600 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Noooo. Just the Kepone stuff. There goes my Money Maker!!! I'm going to take the higher road. You want to sell junk, Charles? I can't possibly stop you anyway. I'm thinking about changing my username though. You've disgraced it enough with your POS hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Charles Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 The carts are being made as we speak. I have to wait for the winner of the Cyplix Label contest(see contest section if you want to enter), so I can get a run of both labels made at the same time(cheaper that way). Cpuwiz gear. Maybe when I get some more free time. Thanks for the kind words Cootster. Kepone, it is unfortunate that you never gave Cyplix a chance. You probably tried it once, couldn't get into the water without dying, so you quit. You just didn't give the game enough of a chance. That is your loss Kepone. Kepone said, "You want to sell junk, Charles? I can't possibly stop you anyway. " Well Kepone, I've already sold some Cyplix Junk(as you call it), so there is interest in Cyplix Game Gear.

Cootster Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Cool . . . I can't wait to own a copy of the rarest cart EVAH~! You and nameless Taiwan pirate designer #39 should work together again . . . Maybe you could make Cruise Missile seem less awful. Hope you can copyright a username, because if not, I have an idea for a Bugs hack with Kepone's new name on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
