Will they be available outside of the Age expo as well? I'd love to get one, but I won't be able to go to the expo.

I was wondering the same thing.  I dont really get into sports games but I would buy this one.

You hit the nail on the head udisi! I didn't really want to even do 250 but that is the lowest number you can do for a CIB game. I doubt I will sell all 250, but there is no way to really know to be be honest. I know my break even point and just hope that I can sell that many of them. There just aren't that many people who are into NES and doing something like this is a HUGE risk.

AMEN on the negativity comment K-Han. I don't know what has been going on lately but everyone seems on edge for some reason.

One of the reason people might be 'on edge' has to do with Aerosmith "Living on the Edge"

Sad, but true.

Dutch just cause you donate to charity doesn't mean the rest of us want or have to. That is a personal decision and has NOTHING to do with gaming what so ever.

so if 300 members want one you wouldnt make 50 more even if they paid.


One last point here.. I venture to bet if NGD knew for sure 300 would sell, he would have 300 made, but 300 is a huge risk, I don't think any NES homebrew has sold 300 carts yet. If you add up all 3 versions of Sudoku maybe, but even the NWC Repro hasn't passed 300 yet.

If I had to guess, I would bet NGD didn't even want to do 250, and only chose that number because that the minimum order for boxes.

You can't just make another 50 after the fact, there'd be another 250 minimum box order, so he'd have to do 500 and I'll say will 95% certainy that he wouldn't sell 500 copies.Up front you could order 300 boxes, but re-orders are subject to the minimum again.

Here's another hypothetical...What if it only sells 100 copies? what about the other 150 then? He takes a $2000 hit in the ass.  This is where general releass come in handy. If and when the CIB run sells out, I'm sure NGD won't have a problem with say gamereproductions making single cart onlys. It's be available in some form. I'm sure the rom will get dumped at some point and you can go and make your own personal copy if you want.

This is what happened with Sudoku, there was a 100 limited run, they sold out, and Al signed on to do a general run through retrozone. I'd venture to bet maybe 100 more carts have sold since that cart released nearly a year ago.

No one misses out with these special editions or anything. The games will eventually, in one form or another, be available for all to play and enjoy.

when you get more than 1 person together you will have disagreements. but we can all get together in tenn for a big group hug.


A group hug, and a beer for those of us who drink (and for those of us that don't, such as myself, a good old-fashioned bottle of pop will do).  I'm there.  That reminds me...I found an old hat I bought at a church yard sale 12 years ago...  It's made of corduroy, a baseball cap with the Super Mario Bros. logo on it, copyright 1988...I'll be wearing that to Knoxville in September (even though I don't look normal with a hat on...but then again, what's normal, eh ?).
