The main reason for that might be, that most of as (including me) are more programmers than collectors and therefore didn't care much about the package. But I've learned my lessons during the last months. :-) > I have seen some truly great new Homebrewed games, Marc Oberhäuser for > instance and Combat 2. Combat 2 isn't what I would call a "homebrewed game". It's a prototype from the original period. > 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? Perhaps I would do so with my next game (if it will ever exist). But there is one thing, that makes Randy unique for me: After I've send him the binary, the manual and a label, he does all the work and takes all(!) the risk. So, all I have to do, is to wait for my royalties cheque. :-) Only, if you can offer that service too, I might change my mind. Anyway, good luck. Competition can't be bad. Have fun!
