Not to “Shipwreck” your topic, but you might as well purchase a lot that comes with games and try to sell the pieces separately. The visor and stand (sometimes with the medallion) tend to run $30 bucks or more apiece, when you can purchase a whole “lot” for about $99, and sell back 50% to get your money back, more or less.
Not that this helps, but I actually emailed the company that was supposed to originally have created Dragon Hopper in hopes of getting some kind of response, information or anything like that. The company, Intelligent Systems emailed me back, saying “officially” that due to various reasons, the company has no information to give out. “Unofficially” the clerk or helpdesk technician, or whatever he/she was, said that they do have areas in which old or beta games are stored, but she/he were unable to validate anything. That due to the age of the time period I emailed about, not many people are left or stayed with the company in a development perspective.
I know this doesn’t help, but I thought I’d show you my “Eagle Scout” try.
My theory is Patrick Stewart is holding all the dragon hopper carts in a fortress surrounded by warrior Predators. I’m mixing genres, but you know what I’m getting at.
I actually emailed the company behind the game a few times, and every time I got a new answer. One answer was basically that everyone that worked there in the mid 90s was gone or promoted. The VB development software is still present that the company created, but any prototypes were destroyed or held in storage. I also heard that the company moved multiple times, would they have destroyed them?
Thanks for the ideas. It just seems I can’t get under the metal pins with an xacto knife and it’s REALLY irritating. I don’t quite know how the heat gun would work, because you could only do one side at a time unless you do it on it’s side.
I’ll keep working at it. Mindstorm what material are your PCB’s made out of? It’s unusual 🙂
