That's right boys and girls, here's a batch of images and joy from our meet in Boston yesterday. Take a look! Laugh, cry, and scream in jealousy. Thanks to everyone who made it. Tisk tisk to those who didn't ;)
Enjoy!

grea tpics! Now I'm jealous since I usually can't make it to this or the DP Classic not to mention I have too much stuff I'd want to keep and little trade bait for stuff like this or extr agoodies...

Great stuff, and the Ewok Adventure was a classy touch. Wish I coulda made it, if only to witness the HARDCORE XXX ACTION. And playing X-Man on VCS would have been pretty neat, too.

...I'm SO going to the fall meet. If I have to quit my job to have it off, so be it. I'm THERE.

p.s. Hey Keir, did you get clobbered or what? :-D
Nope. She was very understanding, even when I traded her for Demolition Herby and Stargunner. :P

Nice job on the pictures as always, Scott!
Looks like it was a great time as usual. Are there any Ewok carts left over for chumps like me that had previous engagements?

So are any of those newly released carts left? I really want one but was not able to make the meet...

As always, great pictures. And, like all NECG meets, I had fun, saw some old friends, got a little drunk, played some great games, met some good people, and, unfortunately, got lucky with Cootie...

well lets see,
the idea behind the cart project was to create the first (AFAIK) trade only release. at NECG we put a lot of stock into coming out, making friends and trading games in fact thats ALL we're about. its a long story but you probably have some idea about how things get priced out of the hands of many collectors, how some people engage in "profiteering" or just how blah it feels to whip out your credit card to build your collection. in order to meet that goal we relied upon the skills of our group to build these carts, gathering talented people and goods that we could pay for in product not cash. however the reality of that is somethings you just cant get for trade and thus a very limited quanity need to be sold to recoupe the materials cost. if anybody would care to go that route you can PM me and i'll try and help you out. i'd personally be much more interested in trade offers and i again stress that the quanity of for sale carts is limited. right now it remains unclear if we will make another 50, i just dont know yet because i alone cant make that call. i do know that i'm very much planning to take on other similar projects in the near future and i strongly encourage anybody with the skills or resources to aid in that to contact me here. as you might imagine this applies to people with printing resources (labels, manuals) and electronic skills (soldering etc.) or just people with a lot of time and a passion for games.
and to anybody who got (or is getting) a copy of our game, we're dead serious about that "no resale" text so enjoy your copy for what it was intended to be a FUN GAME FOR YOUR COLLECTION.
thats all!

Damn, I had already listed mine on ebay! ;)
Actually, as soon as I was done playing with it that night, I put it in one of those tan Atari binders with my "rare" carts.
I got mine for a stack of VIC-20 carts and a Video Flipperama! (Brazilian version of Video Pinball). Oh, and I also deposited a few PB commons in the hopes that there will be another batch for others to enjoy.
