Hmmm... I guess he's hoping for people who don't access the newsgroups
to come along.

I still receive E-mail asking about RBB carts, and only a few of the people
I see are actually people who I know from rgvc.

Maybe Hozer Video Games should set up a webpage. ;)

As for the Okie Dokie. The 2K version is Public Domain, so it's probably
that one he's selling. But I don't know who would pay $25 for it when
you can buy that one from Randy for only $11.

I wouldn't be suprised if we start seeing Hozer Video Games auctioned
on Ebay. It would almost be worth it to try and auction one off there
just to see what you'd get. Just as a point of interest that is.

We should definetly write him to tell him we'll be watching him to make
sure his carts sales are on the level. If he wants to resell carts bought
from Randy, well that's no biggie. But if he starts to copy current releases
that arn't PD then it's time to open up a can of asswhup. ;)

Hey! I know what we could do!!!! Make a game with an easy to find easter egg
in it that says, "you can buy this game from Randy Crihfield for $16. If
you bought it somewhere else for more... YOU GOT HOZED!!!"
