Hey Junie! Good to finally see you post here. You should have done this a
long time ago as this is THE place to get ahold of the real programmers. If
Andrew Davie was serious about helping those of us that are mostly 6502
illiterate, then your services will come in high demand! Although, quite
honestly, some may chose to only use some of your services and not all
simply because they want the experience of trying it themselves.
Glad to have you here, and hope to see more of your posts!
~Brian

Subject: [stella] Atari 2600 Game Publisher
It has been suggested to me that I should post a response to the StellaList
about my Atari 2600 game publishing services to let all the Homebrewed game
authors know about them.
If you are a game author and are looking for a more complete service than
you yourself or Hozer can offer, than read on.
If you are looking for commercial Color Laser-- Game Labels, Instruction
Manuals layout and cut to size in the Atari white style manuals (MS.
Pac-Man), or original Atari GGame Boxes.
If you are wanting professional Offset printed materials (Game Labels,
Manuals, Box Labels).
If you want your Game Labels or Instruction Manuals designed and laid-out by
qualified fellow Atarians.
If you want a company to sell your new games by selling online, at
flea-markets, lining store shelves with your new game, at all the classic
gaming expo's and conventions (PhillyClassic, CincinnatiClassic, CGE
(Classic Gaming Expo), and more), and other various ways.
If you want your game created to the completeness of an original Atari 2600
game, I do mean everything, Game Manuals, Game Boxes, shrink-wrapped, and
even more, ready to be sold at the store. It doesn't have to be a partially
created game anymore (Simple Game Cart and maybe a cheap Manual).
If you simply want a much better way for your games to be made and/or sold I
have the solution!
Hello, my name is "Junie" - Tom Cosby JR. and I am a fellow Atarian. This is
my first post on the StellaList, I post frequently at the AtariAge 2600
message board.
I have seen the current methods that are available to Atari 2600 game
authors and couldn't believe it. Simple cheap Inkjet Game Labels, usually
reused game PCB's, and maybe a simple little black and white Instruction
Manual.
I have seen some truly great new Homebrewed games, Marc Oberhäuser for
instance and Combat 2.
With all the time and hard effort that you Atari 2600 game authors put into
designing and creating your games I am embarrassed by the fact that most of
you didn't have the services available to showcase your games like they
should be, a great achievement.
I decided to do something to change that, a way to get your game created
like they should be, and not have to simply settle on a simple Inkjet label
and such anymore.
Instead of simply trying to learn everything to create them myself (Which I
have learned, mostly the basics) I decided to get experienced people who
have been doing it for years to join my team. Currently there are 11 of your
fellow Atarians who have joined together to try and bring you publishing
services worthy of your great game.
Why only have one person do everything when so many more people bring so
much more experience and dedication to everything? As they say "2 heads are
better than 1", and we have 11 heads.
As mentioned, there are 11 fellow Atarians that are part of my Atari 2600
game publishing team, counting me. Everyone besides myself and my wife, do
one specific part of the game publishing. Other Atarians and people will
join my team when they are needed, I plan to have even more Atarians for
specific publishing services in the future. I imagine you have seen many of
them at the AtariAge message boards, here at the StellaList, various
Newsgroups, or at the Classic Gaming Expo's and Conventions.
Some of the fellow Atarians that make up the team are people who supply the
brand new commercially manufactured Homebrewed PCB's, program the EPROM's
with your game, design images for your Game Labels and Instruction Manuals,
and much more.
If you simply want to get Game Labels created or buy PCB's-- Or want your
game created completely and maybe even sold by us come give us a try. You
decide how far you want your game puublished, if you simply want one service
or everything.
It's true we have not published our first game, but why not be the first and
go down in the history of our publishing services as the first Atari 2600
game author who was brave enough to say you had enough of the simple
incomplete services and wanted something more?
At my website, home of our Atari 2600 publishing services, you can read more
about each individual part of our services and even find out who actually
does it. If you have any suggestions about anything, our current services,
something you think should be changed, or anything else just let me know--
everything is up to discussion and I do listen. We want to provide and
tailor you with the services you want, not just whatt we offer.
I have many more ideas any ways to improve our services and will in time, if
you simply give up a chance. This includes offering the same complete
publishing services to other Atari systems including the Atari 5200 and
Atari 7800.
I will continually update and improve our services as our publishing
services grow, and make many things more accessible and possiable to game
authors. This includes our vigilant and continuing efforts to get brand new
game cases created. This will allow for everyone to choose their game case
style, many new styles will be created. Also it will allow you for the first
time to use brand new game cases made specifically for your gamer, no more
sacrificing the common games for their game cases.
I have many ideas and plans to help make the Atari Community even more
enjoyable for the collectors, game authors, and of course the game players.
You can visit our Atari 2600 publishing services, called Junies Creations,
by visiting my website at http://embark.to/juniescreations or by going to it
directly at http://jove.prohosting.com/~junies/atari/
I salute those who continue to bring their efforts to the Atari Community,
including Randy at Hozer Video. I in no way am trying to belittle or put
anyone down, I am simply trying to let everyone know of the services that
many of your fellow Atarians have joined together to bring to you.
As they say friendly competition brings you lower prices and better
services.
-- Best Regards,
"Junie" - Tom Cosby JR.
