Will there definitely be no more BS carts made? I'm sure that there are a good many new Jag users in the UK thanks to the sale of loads of Jaguar stock in EB and Game in January 2002 at crazy prices. Any of them, like me, reading stuff on the net will soon realise that it's the one to have.

I would be interested in buying the game (although I'm not too fussed about all the extra stuff in BSG - it's a lot more than I could justify spending on a single game for a 'retro' system).

Has the project been completely put to bed or is another run likely if say EPROM prices tumble? I suppose you'd also get a backlash from the existing owners who wouldn't like their carts to devalue.

I believe Thunderbird said that another batch of Battleshere Gold was in the works right now. I'm sure he'll respond to this post with a more accurate response.

Hi

The last few of the original BS carts are supposed to be auctioned off towards the end of the year, according to the scataLOGIC web page. After that no more will be made. To be honest why would they want to make another run of the inferior version of the game? Your best bet is to get your name on the list for the next run of BSG. I know the price is high, but personally think it is worth every penny. As Mitch said I am sure TBird will answer definately at some point

I believe that TBird has posted several times here and in JI2 that if you are interested in buying BattleSphere, that you email him at www.battlesphere.com and ask to be put on the standby waiting list.

And I'm sure he has said that there will almost certainly be further production runs of BSG...
