I disagree, I think it's patently obvious that it's just a mirrored GaTech image.

Looking at it further, I agree.

But the beauty of this game is that while it may currently be the GA Tech logo, it doesn't have to be.

Its customizable, baby.

I need this game. I really do.

Yeah, baby, you can flip it around to look back to the left, instead. w00t!

I feel a bit like I did some years ago when I had a curiosity about $cientology writings. I was really interested (intellectually) in what it was all about, and wanted to read Dianetic$, but the thought of my money going to them revulsed me. Eventually a used bookstore resolved the issue. Maybe I'd need to do something along similar lines here.

I'm sure I'll have a copy for sale a couple days after I get my hands on this thing.

Those aren't left hands... see!

Fighting university lawyers over trademark violations is not how I would want to spend my time and money. But Matrix Games' milage must vary on that score.

Maybe they are banking on the fact that nobody will care. :)

They're just American colleges, and therefore insignificant. Now, if they stole the logo of the University of Calgary, that would be another story entirely.

What do you want to bet that Matrix Games drops DW from their roster of programmers once this debacle's over? :D

Thread. Must. Not. Die.

Oh, don't you worry about that.
This thread will pick up again next year, just before the game is released...

What do you mean? It's coming out today!

I'm interested in seeing some independent reviews for this game. I'm sure the 7 guys that post on the Maximus Football boards will love the game, but I'm curious to see how it goes over with others who pick it up expecting a modern day FPS Football type game.

Do you really think that there will be more than 7 guys that buy this game?

I'm sure there will be idiots who have the biggest itch to play a 'football' game again that will buy it..other than that, four people.

You people are clearly underestimating the vast untapped market for the ability to use canadian rules.

I've seen a couple guys on other forums saying they'd pick up the game. I didn't warn them because I want to see reactions...:D

Long live the rouge!

:D

yeah!!! And don't forget: OUR BALLS ARE BIGGER!!!!

:D

FM

not once you take the exchange rate into account...

:p

you've not exchanged much money lately haven't you?

:p you too

FM

Of course we're all making the huge assumption that this game will be released at some point, and we all know what happens when you assume.

I have a CFL t-shirt that says "Radically Canadian" on the front and "It's called The Rouge. Get the point?" on the back.

like seriously!

I've never been in huge favor of Jim's 'silent til it's ready' way of releasing games but boy if DW isn't the posterboy for reasons staying quiet til a game is ready then nobody is.

Wait - was that a new Pumpy pic?

um uh no thats my cousin

that's on a similar t-shirt that I saw the "we have bigger balls" line :D

FM

Yeah, I almost bought that shirt when I ordered the rouge shirt, but I think I might have gotten yelled at for wearing the "bigger balls" shirt to work. I decided not to buy. :)

wise decision :)

FM

This can't slip off the first page on release day. Or supposed release day.

I don't think I've ever been this excited about a release that I have no interest in buying. :D

that's part of what makes this game so great. Every new day is the supposed release day so you got reasons to be excited every morning when you wake up. WEEHEE!!!

FM

It's almost as exciting as the days of waiting for indoorsoccersim's workout plan.

since I don't work out, it's even more exciting!!!

FM

The game's not out yet?????

lol :D

Alrighty Boyz! Here We Go! It's the Maximum Football...oh forget it.

Just waiting on pins and needles for jbmagic's "Maximum Football is Out" thread.

I preordered this thing in 1999. It better be good.

How could you not preorder it back then? When all we heard about growing up was this great game of the future, Maximum Football. Why I remember when I was a kid and my Dad said, "One day son, not too far off now we will get Maximum Football for our new Intelivision system. I think you will like it more then Pitfall."

No way buddy, you can't fool me. Free the Pumpy pics!

Yeah, I put it on my Diner's Club card. Hope that's still good.

Does anyone know if this will be available on 5-1/4" or will I need to upgrade?

I'm having them send it to me on tape.

I just got mine!

It's a cartridge though?!?!!??!?!
