  1. Well, all that work for nothing.... I should have just kept reading. Straight from the horse's mouth. 140 total copies.
  2. So, after sifting through hundreds of posts for a few hours, this is what I accumulated. I'm not 100% positive that this is correct. I say this because for some reason, @Ferris Bueller and stardust4ever (has an unboxing video of a GE edition on Youtube) may have gotten undocumented copies around the PayPal testing time. Can you confirm what went down there, Ferris? zxdplay made a comment that you 2 may not be interesting in LE copies anymore and you were going to back out until #100 opened back up for you. 3 Gift Editions sold on eBay August 3rd, 2014. At least 2 have custom text. (Majesty ZX, Proveaux, 3rd buyer unknown) 2 (maybe more) Unknown Editions sold through PayPal as a test on September 12, 2014. (acomicbookguyc and maybe Johnnyboy113?)(Maybe more GEs?) 100 LEs sold on NA. Still trying to find a final list. 1-20 have custom text. (#74 was sold on eBay) 1 Unknown Edition gifted\sold to Dain 16 Regular Editions sold on eBay Total documented copies sold: 122
  3. So far, what I have found is that there were for sure 3 GEs (Gift Editions) sold on eBay on August 3rd, 2014. Those 3 are clearly marked with GE v1.0 on the title screen. It also looks like the buyers name or something was written on the title screen as well. I'm going to keep digging as I know more were sold outside of the LEs. On August 16, 2014, zxdplay said that two of the three GEs were purchased by NA members Majesty ZX and Proveaux. He wasn't for sure who the third person was. On September 9th, Majesty ZX posted: Proveaux just decided to get his to say "Gift Edition" where as mine says "Majesty ZX".
  4. Here is some more information on Star Keeper. I don't know how deep into the threads The Internet Archive will let you read, but the first link will give you the most information and it was pretty wild! The entire thread is pretty crazy, but it gets really good around page 12. EDIT: It looks like the archive ends at page 18. Maybe another date can go deeper into it. I was able to skip page 19 and go to 20. Still reading. Archive of the Star Keeper thread in the Brewery section of nintendoage.com. https://web.archive.org/web/20140818025501/http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=125036&StartRow=1 Archive of the Star Keeper Sales thread in the Seller's Forum of nintendoage.com. https://web.archive.org/web/20141022030247/http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=6&threadid=134803&StartRow=1
  5. If it is number, it is the LE. There are 100 LEs. Maybe a dozen or so of the others. @neodolphino might know exactly. The first 20 copies of the LEs had the option to add custom text to the title screen I believe. Not all took that option. That is why I took 21. Lowest non-custom game.
  6. Welcome, neighbor. I'm #21. #20 was the last one with a custom text option.
  7. I think so. I know he tried to get The Incident greenlit on Steam, but I don't think it did.
  8. I didn't see a thread about this, so I thought I would start one about NEScape! by KHAN Games getting a release on the Switch and Xbox. It looks like he teamed up with 8-Bit Legit to make this happen. According to the Facebook posts, Pre-Orders start January 5th!
  9. I really wish it was possible to print-on-demand but it is just not a feasible model for many factors. I tried to do this with Tailgate Party after the initial run and it was such a hassle in my life at the time.
  10. It's not an excuse, IT IS THEFT! It's literally written as a law. The only thing flimsy about it is the law doesn't fit your narrative on the matter and you are butthurt that you don't get free things. It's not gate keeping. No one is stopping you from buying homebrews or saying you can't. I would really like to have a 1966 Mustang, but since I can't go buy one new, I'm entitled to a free one because people are selling used ones higher than I want to spend? Just because I can't clone a Mustang doesn't make one more right than the other.
  11. Humans are hypocrites. Welcome to life. And welcome to capitalism as well? You are telling me that you wouldn't sell your possession for market value? See, everyone's a hypocrite! The seller didn't shark it, it went to auction and bought by the highest bidder. Should the seller message the winner and say "Hey man, I bought this for $60, so you only need to pay that much."?
  12. Preservation is just a word thrown out by those that really mean "I WANT ROMZ, oMg!!" It's not preservation, it's theft. Real preservation respects the IP owner.
  13. Many of these people literally said before or after selling "I already have all the games in rom format, why would I keep physical copies?" Please stop trying to manipulate what I heard with my very ears and saw with my very eyes. From the people I know, it was one of many factors in their decision, period. I don't see how you are even debating this. Just because my facts contradict your thoughts on the matter? You hate being wrong? Why keep beating the dead horse?
  14. You do you. We don't have to agree and I can honestly say, you and I are not going to agree with a lot on this. I can sit here and rebuttal back and forth until we are blue in the face, neither of us are budging from our stance. I can't control what options you choose to play games on as much as you can control what consoles devs release games for. Spend your money and time how you want, and devs will spend their money and time how they want. You also missed the entire point that was being made. Either VGS is a platform that supports homebrewers or it isn't. Once people no longer feel supported or their wishes and opinions are not respected, they will eventually stop coming. So, if I see people going against the developers wishes, why would I support that? This developer chose not to release the rom, but from what I see, entitlement > dev's choice.
  15. Obviously I can't prove this and you know that. It is only my experience from those I know who sold their collections. I'm not here to toss their names out. Off the top of my head of those I personally know who did this, the count sits at 7 or 8. Used the money for something they really wanted to do and condensed their collection to a pi or powerpak. I honestly don't know a single person who sold their entire collection and don't have one of those options to still play.
