It's just not that simple, that's why it's so long... Big controversy and a big f*** over.

I think if you are going to link that thread, you have to link the THIS OLD GAME, Saturday supercade episodes as well.
Learned a lot from that thread....most obvious lesson: If I ever rescue a game from a condemned, broken down, abandoned, ruddy crack house I will tell NOBODY!
Definitely the greatest thread ever.
As I recall, Seamus repaired the game and it was at an SC3 event, per his request, then went into the owner's storage.
I could not find that video.
Having read that, I don't understand all the hate towards the eventual owner of the game.
Nearly EVERYONE scrambling to get that game was trying to contact that owner to buy the game. Like it or not, the game was still legally owned at that time and the right way to do this was to contact the owner and buy it, which is exactly what happened.
I understand the value of the game and people's desire to get their hands on it but I just don't see any other way it could have reasonably (and legally) turned out.
That's my $.02, for what it's worth.
And really, a 23" vector monitor? That's crazy.
no, not everyone. One person did Breaking, Entering and theft to go and get it without even trying to get permission. That same person was told not to mess with or even turn it on. What did he do, he tried to make it work and messed it up even more (ask seamus if you don't believe me how he made things far worse).
What you can gather from the story is deep pockets can solve most problems. The funniest thing about it is that you would think jehuie would have learned his lesson from it, but since greg made it all go away and rewarded him for doing it, there were no consequences to his actions. So what did he do? he followed it up with a federal crime of breaking, entering and theft.. But he either figured out how stupid it was to admit to that one or greg deleted the evidence off the site of that crime.
Also, I don't hate greg for doing what he did. He really did not do anything wrong. Unless he put jehuie up to the theft in the first place, he just worked it to his advantage and beat everyone out to getting it. That was 100% fair. What I don't like is that greg is doing it with the pretex of forming a museum. I seriously doubt he will ever do that.
Yeah, a 23" monitor is waste in sundance. but then its even a bigger waste in barrier.
