Pitcher's Duel
Copies of this beta version of this never released original game will be sold at the CGE (USA). If someone goes there, PLEASE buy one for me.
I hate this kind of deals, but here is the info.
Official info from Sean Kelly:
Pitcher's Duel does not include an overlay. The overlay on the box front is the actual GCE overlay that was made for the game back in the day but I didn't have the time or expertise to make an overlay for the game.
The green cartridge cases were made by me - of course. They cost about seven times as much to manufacture as the regular black ones because of the type of plastic used and the very small quantity produced. I have no intention of doing them in a rainbow of colors now - this was just a one-time thing.
The game is fairly well-done and is about 90% complete. There are some problems with rules not being implemented or implemented incorrectly that there's actually a pretty funny story explained in the manual.
The boxed version of the game will be limited to ONE PER PERSON at CGE. That's not to disappoint people who can't come to CGE, but rather to keep people from scalping them on eBay afterwards. The scalping is going to happen anyway, but we'd like to keep it to a minimum. Technically, the first person in line could buy them all and sell the 99 extra on eBay at a hefty profit - and you all know some persons would do that. We don't want to see that anymore than anyone else! The loose cartridges will be available after the show as long as people want them. It is the exact same game sans the green shell and box.
