A quick video of the 1st CPU opponent: youtu.be/6iKtiTYuo28The flicker in the video is more just a shimmer in real life! cNp Game doesn't l00k any fun. Glad I got a refund so I could spend it on ColecoVision carts instead.

the arcade version wasn't much fun from what I remember so not surprising.

It's probably best with two players competing. Rip Off isn't that great a game either unless you have another person, for example. But the main thing is in this case is that hardcore Vectrex collectors want it, regardless of how it plays.

You haven't played it to confirm it is a "turd of a game", for one thing. It's also still proving to be fairly tricky to make decent quality overlays nowadays as well, even after all these years, along with not jacking up the price of the final product. I wouldn't even bother, really.

Do you have the ability to program a turd of a game?

Turd of a game. That made me chuckle. When you're handing over your cash on a pre-order and it turns out to be a turd (love it!) then that's a risk you take. Wait three years. Play it for ten minutes. Put it on eBay. Make a profit... or keep it to forever gather dust because you are a collector. Lifes too short for sh##. Imo.

Two player versus my son has provided the most fun for sure... although I have played through to the 4th opponent (each unique) a few times but I get caned completely every time by 'him' so don't know if that's the end or not!

Sure you probably don't need the box or the overlay just only release it on cart The collectors HAVE to buy it. Of course I'd try and make the best game I could personally as a matter of pride. I think in the case of Warrior, this is an arcade conversion and it looks pretty true to the original and you can already play the arcade version emulated and so you know what you are getting. So anyone buying the game to play and not collect shouldn't be disappointed, unless it is not as good as the original

I feel dumb for even thinking maybe we'd get a surprise of Warrior before the holidays. Probably should just ask for my money back.

That's one Christmas wish too far, I reckon.

I think "©2003 UNTIL THE END OF TIME - FURY" may be an indicator of how long people will be waiting for Warrior.
Did Hellhole ever get released?
