Lol round 2, would be pretty dank to get a Beyond Shadowgate though as it would be a step up from a CDR. My older brother always talks about the original Shadowgate.

I did get a copy of all the pressed discs released here.  I gave my word that I wouldn't flip them and not one has been sold.  I still have them all.  I like them in my collection.  Thanks again Bernie.

Yeah repro's are poor taste to sell on ebay, but homebrew is fair game.

When a homebrew comes a long, you should flip it. Whatever you do, don't open it and play it.

I got rid of three of mine, but I sold them for the $5.00 for one/for all rate that Bernie Blue and co. sold them for.

Kinda regretting getting rid of Beyond Shadowgate, but going off of ChuChu I can vouch that a CDR is just as good.  8)

But did you seal them in cellophane and then have them VGA-graded???   :wink:

I thought they were supposed to come that way.  lol.

but I guess nobody ever bothered to go do a press run since they just started making it rain with Tobias bootlegs.

The eventual goal is still to do a pressing of a game choice that will be voted on.  But for the time being we've been distributing Tobias spools of bootleggery as a way to build up some funds to get the pressing done.

Hopefully, it's not too far off from that goal...

What the heck, I'm getting a red screen saying "Dangerous site ahead, raptr . com may trick you" when I click on the first page of this thread using Chrome...

I'll have to scan it and edit out what's causing that!

Naw, those guys are done. They sold out of Tobias' bootlegs and never learned how to press their own. You want Jodi's Turbo Reproductions group on FB for this sort of thing.

OK, fixed!

It was the signature in the profile of whisper2053.

https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=4969

He had this link, "www.  raptr . com/badge/whisper2053/fs_lastplayed.png" which Chrome now says is dangerous.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raptr

Raptr was shutdown in Sept. 2017, and perhaps the domain expired only for somebody malicious to take it over I guess. It was a social networking site and messenger apparently. Never heard of it, but RIP for those that apparently liked it, etc.
