Ralph Baer Pinball Game?

[wongojack]

I just got around to reading the newest issue of RETRO and in it there is mention of a new homebrew Pinball game for the O2!  While I don't claim to know everything about retro gaming, I was suprised that this one got past me.  I'm a big fan of pinball games and would love to play this.  Here is an excerpt of the already small announcement:

"Premiering in the pages of RETRO, Homebrew Heaven [the mag segment] presents Ralph Baer's Pinball in its original form, as well as a completely new and updated rendition, featuring enhanced graphics, improved ball physics, multiple table layoutes and more!  This very special edition completes Baer's original vision and was crafted via his personal input with his blessing."

Could you please post the page of RETRO, Homebrew Heaven [the mag segment] about RALPH BAER's PINBALL?

Page 8 - the entire page is a segment called Homebrew Heaven.  The part I quoted is in the middle on the left.

Sorry but I'm not subscriber.

You should consider subscribing.  Although the focus of the mag is a bit more recent than the O2, it is still a quality publication and the digital only subscription is fairly inexpensive.

If you like, I can send you this individual so you can see if you like it.  Send me a PM.

HAPPY NEW YEAR fellow Odyssey² and Videopac fanatics!

I have some exciting news to share with you all...

I have completed a "press release" for RALPH BAER'S PINBALL ( which will be released sometime in 2015 ) by Good Deal Games.


I have the "press release" on my web site and will help with the marketing and promotion of the game!


Here is the link:

That looks awesome!

I just emailed Michael to put me down for one when they are available.

Are you considering selling more of those stickers separately?  I'd like to buy a few of them.  Magnets that look like the sticker would be cool too if you ever decide to make merchandise for the O2.

Thanks!

I am not sure if Michael is going to sell them separately. Michael T. is not on this forum I do not believe.
Perhaps he will join. In the mean time, I will forward your suggestion to him.

Just sent an email to Michael to add my name to the list.

Tim do you know if there will be a way of confirm this? like how you do with games you release?

[timdu]

Since it is not my release I do not know. I am only helping out with the manual and the marketing and promotion.
I can make the suggestion to Michael, but he is a busy guy and I am not sure if he wants to do it.
I will make the suggestion to him and also offer to host the list of 100 names if he would like.
I can tell you it is a lot of work to maintain the list, but I kind of like maintaining the lists in a strange sort of way.
I am sure he would be willing to at least release a list of the 100 owners
once all 100 have been sold.

Thanks Tim!  I'm sure those will sell well.  I'd buy at least 3 of those stickers if they are sold separately at the very least.

I love this project - really something special to honor Mr. Baer!

2015 starts with a great suprise!

Seems that the value of the autographed Pinball cart that Ralph sent me 10+ years ago just dropped dramatically ...
