I think George is very upset over all the botched things going on with this particular game. Especially all pestering he has gotten. What I would do if I were him is, if anybody was on his bad list, I'd send them Warrior with the inferior cartridge and inferior overlay. I am sure he has a huge stack of these items sitting there. Anybody who complained... well, he did send them the product. How would anybody know the difference, unless a couple of people got together and compared items... No, sending out an inferior product would not be the wise thing to do. It would be faster and easier to resolve this situation by agreeing to issue refunds to those customers who request them. Instead, it sounds as if Fury has blocked a number of his clients from communicating with him simply because he had grown weary of the customer service role. Well, guess what? When people pay you hundreds of dollars for a service, then you're not only bound by contract of sale to provide that service, but if you're unable to do it in a timely manner, then you're also expected to follow through with your customers on their inquiries. I understand that a few people are going to defend Fury because he's made great contributions to the Vectrex community; some collectors are probably worried that, if Fury walks away from this process with a bad experience, maybe he'll leave the community altogether and stop producing homebrews. But just how far are you willing to sacrifice yourself as a customer? If you can be treated this poorly, left in the dark, ignored, three years later still left with nothing to show for your investment, and yet walk away with an ounce of faith in that business, then I'd suggest that you pull the Vectrex out of your butt and recognize when a bad deal is a bad deal. Wake up, smell the vectors, and value yourself or at least have some sympathy for those who do. It's been three years and they want their money back. Instead, they're getting the cold shoulder. They've got every right to be incensed.

Its only $65 dollars... you should take a chill pill. if it's only $65 why doesn't pelonious refund everyone who has asked for one immediately? It's BS "4-8 weeks to process refund." Total BS. ****er has been sitting on my money for 2-1/2 years and he can't cough it up in a timely fashion. FRAUD.

Just got a refund from Fury moments ago. He didn't send it as a gift so I had to pay $2.40 in Paypal fees. Whatever. Happy to have my money back. Now I'm going to spend it on ColecoVision carts.

That's not so bad. The way I see it, you're only getting screwed out of $0.80 a year considering how long you've been waiting. But seriously, I'm glad to hear the refund went through.

And here's the list of the ColecoVision games I got instead:
Decathlon B.C. II: Grog's Revenge Cabbage Patch Kids Picture Show Sector Alpha Jukebox Illusions
Not too much fun in that batch but I'm trying to collect all CV cartridges released (minus home brews).

Grogs revenge is a pretty fun game imo. Used to play that loads on my c64 as a kid.

Colecovision is my favorite console after Vectrex!
Its got some really great arcade conversions - Gorf, Burger Time, Galaxian, Dig Dug, Mr Do...ironically the Atarisoft prototypes are some of the best! Luckily I've got them on a multicart..Moon (Matt) Patrol and Pacman.

Might be worth keeping this 'on topic' (ie. Warrior). Perhaps open up a Colecovision thread separately.

Remember I said I gotten an Email from Fury... package arrived yesterday. I honestly didnt think I would like it from the 'video' that is available for it, but it is VERY high quality. Popped her into the old vec. I like it, not as much as Vector Pilot, but its easily in my top 5, and its hard to top Solar Quest in my oppinion. I do not know why there was such a delay, but if you ordered it, dont give up hope, when it arrives I am sure you will like it very much!

I do not know why there was such a delay, but if you ordered it, A ton of reasons, like an overlay redesign, Dondzila quit making cartridges, which George used to buy his boards from him, putting in a calibration deal for the graphics to line up (like with Vectrexians, Sundance, Y*A*S*I, etc.), then he had to redo that a few times, he was ill during at least one point in the last few years, etc., etc./there's probably other stuff I don't know about.

Can you please tell us what serial number you were so that we can try to anticipate when the others will be shipping? They were supposed to ship in numerical order, except for the auction ones that were seperate.
