Mail Plane Shame - Call yourselves gamers!!!
retro...@my-deja.com
website, answered all your criticism, advised that I wasn't the only
person with the game, and now, with more pictures and proof on ebay,
still no admission that the game does exist. Ok, i'm a big boy now, I
can look after myself, but the way you guys all act, dismissing people,
and declaring them fakes out of hand, well, frankly it's appalling.
Sure, the Retrogames article is all forgotten about now, pages of
messages about Ebayzilla's auction are the talk of the day. How about
someone putting a message out saying, hey, maybe that Jason who writes
Retrogames isn't full of it after all, perhaps he really does write
about his videogaming passion, and doesn't just want to sell a few more
copies of his magazine. Is it any wonder that Ebayzilla doesn't come on
here and tell us how he got these games?? You are all fools to
yourselves, so desperate for the truth, but frightening off anyone with
any evidence with barrages of hostility. I have read all your messages
over the past few weeks, and while there may be a few left, I think
that most "real" gamers left this newsgroup long ago. How
dissapointing. www.retrogames.co.uk

It's a real shame he got upset because he had some good insights + binaries,
I guarantee they are all lost forever now.

Yes, I am sure they made ebayzila as welcome as they have made Jason
from Retrogames. Richard, you had an opportunity to to apologize to
Jason for calling him a fake but didn't. I did say they looked like
they were drawn by a crayon and then a negative was made. I was only
kidding but I want to apologize anyway. I am sorry Jason for my part in
this. Tommy T...

This is a newsgroup. A place for casual discussions. People here post
what they think and then discuss it. This is not any sort of
investigative news or journalism organization. So continue to be
appalled... it's just a newsgroup!

How about: Maybe that Jason has an ego bigger than Usenet since he
figures we should be posting tributes to him instead of writing about
the Vectrex.

This kind of comment only serves to justify the belief that you are

Oh yeah, that's what I want exactly, a sprawling 8 page message on how
brilliant I am. I've had my magazine ripped off and sent around the
web, and then i've had to justify it to a bunch of people who wouldn't
believe anything they didn't own. The problem is not my ego, I would
more often than not rather play the games than write about them, it's
that Retrogames is a credible source of information, and deserves to
keep it's reputation.

Isn't that exactly what my original message was about?? I think there
has been pretty adequate information on the existence of Mail Plane,
yet so many were ready to jump to conclusions about me. Don't take it
so personal Mav, I thought this was a casual discussion group.

Jason,
I agree with some of the things you say. Once in a while
someone might go overboard, but this news group is an open forum
where everyone has the right to state his or her opinion. Take
Ebayzilla as an example. Several months ago he joined the
discussion for a short time. I remember a controversy concerning
a right-handed prototype control panel (or something like that)
he was selling on Ebay. Someone called it a fake. Again,
everyone has the right to state their opinion. As an adult,
Ebayzilla had the right to take up for himself, but instead he
chose to slander a bunch of good people and use bad language (if
I remember correctly). A couple of weeks ago a blurry scan of
your 'Mail Plane' Retrogames article began circulating and some
thought it was a fake. You posted a quality scan and we were
grateful to see it. To become the center of attention, Ebayzilla
(who doesn't participate anymore, but loves reading our posts),
put his copy of 'Mail Plane' for sale on EBAY for an outrageous
starting bid of five thousand dollars. In my opinion, Ebayzilla
had no intention of ever selling his copy. I sent him an e-mail
when the auction first appeared, just to see what kind of reply I
would receive. The reply follows:
> When Mail Plane is sold, do you plan on releasing the
> binary image to the public
No, that would not be fair to the buyer.
> Their were other games that you mentioned in your EBAY
> posting: (Air Combat, Batter Up, Citadel, 3D Pole
> Position , and Tour de France). Do you plan on
> releasing these rom images to the public after they
> are sold?
Nope, same reason.
I think the sale is off on the other items anyway.
EBayZilla
His reply only answered two out of six questions I sent. He put
the auction on EBAY and had no intention of ever selling the
cartridge or releasing the binaries to the public. Then to make
matters worse he changed his wording in the auction to piss off
all of the current Vectrex programmers, which in my opinion was
extremely childish. Programmers like John Dondzilla have done
more for the Vectrex community then the original programmers ever
did. The bottom line is that people like Ebayzilla are only here
to make lots of money and to play games. He doesn't care about
the Vectrex community or classic game preservation. He only
cares about dollar signs. I have found that most of the people
who participate in this news group are here to preserve the
Vectrex and to have fun. When a lost program like 'Mail Plane'
is found it should be made available to the public for everyone
to enjoy. You and Ebayzilla own the only two known copies of the
game, which makes the cartridges very valuable. Releasing the
'Mail Plane' binary to the public should not lower the value of
the original cartridge. We would all appreciate it Jason, if you
would dump the binary. If money is an issue you could dump the
binary image and burn it onto a cd-rom and sell it or post it for
sale on EBAY (to help you recoup some of the original cost of
buying 'Mail Plane'). Then the binary image would be preserved
forever.

People who write online magazines and other classic game newsletters
are going to have to realize that getting a "priveleged viewing" of a
prototype from an anonymous source for the purpose of generating
readership is not really going to win the hearts of classic gamers.
That only drives a wedge between the "insiders" who have connections
and who can enjoy these rare games within their clique and the "have
nots" who can only look at screenshots and read articles on them.
People would be singing your praises if you went out there and saved
the game's ROM image. At least with the Vec catalog there is no
piracy issue to worry about.

Hi Jason,
Welcome to the internet. You won't find any flames or accusations that
your article was fake coming from me. Like the majority of readers: I read
your article, thought "Way Cool", but did not bother to post anything about
it to the newsgroup.
Please don't confuse a vocal minority for the majority opinion.
Keep up the good work at Retrogames.

It's just typical of society to not voice that we are satisfied, or
agree. We seem to only vocalize when we disagree or have questions about
the material that was presented. This works fine when we are all sitting
around in an auditorium, 50+ odd people sitting around and only 5
vocalizing. Clearly with your eyes you can see that 45 people are
content. Unfortunately, with newsgroups we don't have this opportunity
to 'see' everyone.
Is it time to institute a new type of newsreader that forces you to tick
off a box (I agree/Disagree) before moving on to the next message? :)

Sound like an exercise from my last ethics class. That sound like an
ethical decision but not a popular one. He was not going to go behind

Your a psychic like on the infomertals. Some one writes a few words to
you and you concoct all this. Since you have the power, Kennedy, one
guy or conspiracy?
Wait...your saying that if you bid on the auction, he would refuse to
sell it to you? If he's is as greedy as you say, then you are wrong
again. He would take the money.

On the other hand, getting a newsletter's editor a look at something
to help verify the existence of something previously unknown is not
a bad thing. We're not all out just to win new readers, or drive a
wedge between ordinary gamers and those lucky enough to share their
finds. And personally, I'd rather see a photo or screenshot of a
game that has never shown up before than go on not knowing it exists.
I don't know what my reputation is like out there, but I offer to
verify any unknown prototypes out there. I've been collecting for
a LONG time, have been on the net on and off since 1988, and currently
edit the 2600 Connection, so I think I'm due some respect in the
community. If you won't trust the person who has something, send
them to me if you think you can trust me...

This is not entirely true, or fair... After all, Jay Smith DID
release all the games into the public domain. And Gerry Karr,
a LONG time ago, tried to get some unreleased stuff together with
the hope of releasing it. It didn't work out, but he did try.
That's not to say I don't find Ebayzilla's comments on that auction
nasty and uncalled for...

This should be a proveable assertion... Check eBay. Last I checked,
the binary image was available for River Patrol, yet there are copies
going well over $200 (it appears the $700 bidder was a mirage).

I know where you stand on the matter personally, since you did go out
of your way to get your very own SAVE MARY cartridge dumped. I don't
blame you for not wanting to risk mailing it to me earlier. I'd
probably have been equally careful.
I know that you'd make an honest effort to convince the owner of these
cartridges to do the same. I think others, however, may relish the
idea of an exclusive, in which case the game NOT being in distribution
theoretically boosts readership, in which getting the ROM dumped is
the last thing on their mind and doesn't even get mentioned (nor
anything about the possibility for future availability) in the final
article, which is very frustrating.

Nor do most people want a list of everyone who agrees. "Me too" posts
are much reviled on usenet. Everything that needs to be said, will tend
to be said by the original poster and people who disagree with what was

Who said it had to be done behind the buyer's back? It'd have little
effect on the buyer, and most would probably say "hey, go ahead"--if
there actually were a buyer.

There's an old saying, "the best way to ban something is to tax it." If
you set a high enough price, there won't be a bidder. That may have been
the plan. Who knows?

games. He has every binary in his possession backed up on CDROM. Basically
they have been there for about 8 or 9 months. Some of you might remember,
he was planning on *giving* them to a few folks just for archive purposes.
No money involved. No strings attached.
ebay stint might remember that. Isn't it sad how this all turned out? I
mean, not only did everyone lose the software he had in his possession, but
you know how many awesome stories Mr. FR Wilk has? I've basically been
exchanging email with him since around 10-20-99 and there's no doubt in my
mind he could have contributed tons to the Vectrex history books. Some
things that stand out in my mind are things like where his work station was
set up(next to an EPROM programmer) to little projects he was given(quiet
Vectrex) to him throwing out lots and lots of control panel overlays(ouch).
In my very limited capacity as a junior "Vectrex Community" member, I think
these kind of stories are awesome. And honestly, in my opinion, the
software he has, well, that would have just been an added bonus.

Since Ebayzilla is a good friend of yours, ask him to put a copy
of the CDROM (with all of the binary images) for sale on EBAY
with a reasonable starting price.

Maybe he would, and maybe he wouldn't. There's a difference between what
people say they plan to do and what they actually do.

Ok, here's a question... What would a "reasonable" price be for a CDROM
with say 10 unreleased Vectrex games? (10 because that's a number someone
else mentioned) For those who read but never post, let's hear your opinions
too.

Jeff,
If I had the binary images available on CDROM I would not sell
them (the original cartridges are the valuable commodity). I
would offer the images for free to the Vectrex Community, for
everyone to enjoy. If Ebayzilla wants to put the CDROM on EBAY
he should set a reasonable opening bid.

$30. That tends to be a sort of magic price point. You'd sell more at
$10-15, but lots of people would still pay $30. I think I would, though
I'd much prefer a cartridge with the games on it.
