£5 for all of 'em???.... He did £5 each for me ... I think I got a raw deal somewhere  .... then Russ probably didn't like me anyway after all the bother over the faulty Panasonic Printer ...  |

But as I said, it was like right when he was winding everything down. I emailed him and asked where my order was (as I'd sent letter and payment a while back) and he admited he had mislaid it. Never cashed the cheque at least. Said he'd do the lot for a knock down price and to get just payment for one game off to him. Least he keep his word there  ;D |

don't feel bad Frank, EBES ripped everyone off lol.
those sleeves they came in were incredibly cheaply done home printer jobbies. when you're paying money for these things, they should be done right. I had Sword Of Honour once in the box and all. got rid of it cos it was so poor.
I couldn't tell you offhand what the packaging for the US release of Lions was but it most definitely wasn't an EBES release. the game was licenced by someone, can't remember who offhand. can't check anymore as I sold it ages ago on ebay.

Hmmm... i'll have to check, but i'm about 90% certain that EBES did import Lions to CMD, as they are on the advert on the back of Commodore World magazine. I will check too  ..... Maybe CMD did their own packaging? Nah, gotta say Dumbflag, EBES wasn't 100% brilliant.. but I admired what Russ tried to do. With little finance and everything, he sadly picked the wrong area to flood the UK market with. He had the right idea with importing games, and that's the only thing that may have sold... or even a Zzap style magazine replacement.... Saliva Kid was crap, but he had imported some real nice games ... Heavenbound actually came in quite a nice card inlay, but I guess that sadly as the orders were so poor, he had to cut the quality down for the other games to save the money he was losing quite fast. He got miffed really towards the end, and didn't have his heart in it, so really EBES did go really crap.. but I can't really blame him to be fair. People just couldn't afford the hardware, which he tried to sell as cheap as possible, while making a profit for himself. |
