I plan to use Vectrex Mad's printer - a proven quality of service that has done the process before and has die to cut the overlays. Should be a matter of providing suitable illustrator file with the colour separations and maybe require a few proof iterations. You need to account for potential flaws and over produce. Cant expect 100% fault free. Think VM said that there was 10% that were flawed slightly. Then again even the overlays that cam with the original games were not perfect.
Kristof's printer might be good alternative.

I found a sign-maker in my own city who could produce overlays without trouble, So did this sign maker actually produce some overlays? Were they silkscreen printed like Kristoff's? Die cut? Were you satisfied with the results? We haven't had them printed yet (little spare time for months) but I'm assured they can be done without a problem. You need a proper solvent based ink for printing on lexan/polcarbonate. Silkscreened and die-cut to size, yes. Cost is probably more the reason there haven't been more releases with overlays available - putting together a homebrew release can be costly even without the added cost and hassle of producing overlays.

So maybe we see the reality more clearly after you go through with it. .. I'm pretty sure Fury also contracted a professional artist to design and draft the Warrior overlay as well. This stuff adds up to a pretty big investment for a hobby.

I'm tired of waiting for Warrior - actually been tired of the wait for a while now. I was going to contact Fury about getting a refund for Warrior, then I read this on his www site:
I don't want credit for future purchase because after this experience I do not wish to do business with Fury ever again.
And now the main event: Atari 7800 XM vs. Warrior - which product will actually ship?

I would happily jump in for your copy if that would be possible.

I would happily jump in for your copy if that would be possible. I just want my money back. You can have my place if you want just let Fury know what's going on. I sent him an email asking for my money back and this was the response: 4 to 8 phucking weeks? A few days would have been reasonable.

^Yeah, I don't see why it would take that long if being done electronically. And whatever happened to no refunds?

After getting 355 bucks for a game he originally only charged 65, he'd love to give you a refund and get 5 times the money. The best thing to do is to let someone else have your spot and issue a change of address to Fury. Just a change of address, do not state a different name. You get your money back immediately, someone else gets a shot at owning Warrior and Fury doesn't make a bunch of money off your dissatisfaction.

I just sent fury an email and asked if he can reallocate your copy to me. Just an adress change wouldnt work since there are several people living in my house. So lets see if he agrees. If he does I will paypal you your money rmaerz as soon as we have the ok.

4 to 8 weeks. That's quite revealing. I bet the reason he can't go forward with Warrior is because he ain't got no cash.

^That's one thing I've been wondering for the last couple of years with him doing all this Vectrex stuff was because he lost his job and/or got divorced (which aren't cheap) or something.

Well, it might not, as I'm not much for spreading rumors in case it isn't true. It would be interesting to hear but I doubt anyone knows what the deal is.
