Subject: [stella] Qb - report on PhillyClassic 2001 release From: "Andrew Davie" <adavie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 21:44:42 +1000 |
A short follow-up on Qb, my game. Qb was released to the public, in cartridge form, at the 2001 PhillyClassic show on April 20-21 2001. 50 individually numbered Qb cartridges were produced for the PhillyClassic show. Cartridges were made by Randy of Hozer Video - he did a fine job. I did the manuals and labels myself, and posted them to Jeff Folejewski - one of the show organisers. Jeff had offered to handle the sales and display for me - and once again, he did a fine job. The only hiccup was that the labels hadn't arrived two days before the show - but fortunately they arrived at just about the very last possible minute :) So, after a few frantic hours pasting on labels (among the many tasks he had to do), Jeff had the carts ready in time. The cart + manual were sold for US$26.00 each, and exactly 50 (the full production run) were sold. The last one sold 5 minutes before the end of ths show. The show prototype (cartridge #1) was auctioned off. It had a special label, so looked kind of neat. Anyway, Jeff was super-keen to have this item for his collection, and won the bidding at US$125. So, PhillyClassic Qb has made its debut, and will never again be available as a cartridge. I've done OK with the profits (though cart production was somewhat expensive). Now I can lay claim to having taken a product completely from concept through to marketing. And what fun it was :) Once again, many thanks to the people on the list who helped. And yes, some of you actually made the credits! Anyone on the list grab themselves a copy - and if so, what #?
