Idea re: RBI

[MarquisEXB]

I have an idea. Has anyone tried to contact the programmers for RBI? I know it has been done in other retro games, namely the FPS series. The programmers told a lot of behind the story stuff & also gave away a few secrets about the game.

I think this would be a great addition to our RBI knowledge & we could once & for all learn the great mystery of the unknown pitching values.

It might help if one of us spoke/wrote Japanese.  Also what if we found out that they created the game on a drunken binge weekend and that it meant nothing to them.  We would be crushed and ruined.  I'm all for finding them but maybe the memory is better.

I have actually emailed the main (pretty much only) US RBI programmer a few tiems, he's very nice.  Can't remember his name right now, Peter something.  I'll hunt down the emails later today and post them.  Maybe I should try to conduct an interview for him for the site.  I think I asked about contact rating and he couldn't remember most of the specifics...

If you get his contract info, I'll mail him a letter as well asking for an interview.  In fact, if we had several members (like 20) all write to him, I am sure he would grant us an interview.

It'd also be "savage," as you guys say, if we found out where this guy is located.  I'd love to take him out to lunch and pick his brain for an hour.

I've thought about this before too. Dig, Gantry, dig!!~

I say we give him Chinese water torture until he tells us everything about RBI.  Even if it scares us and tears down our lives as we know it.

"This American hotty, blond, cocksucking bitch I was fucking raw knew I was good with computers but she wouldn't swallow my shit or let me give her a Creamy Pirate until I proved my mettle.  So I created this ridiculous baseball game using sumo wrestlers with limp, fat bats just to impress her and to make her take the Big Gulp.  Dump biotch.  Wooooo!"

[doveRBI]

I already suspected it but now I know it for sure.  You are one twisted SOB mclane.

[fknmclane]

I just reread my drunken programmer story.  Man, I had a few too many.  Twelvers of Corona for 9.99.  Smokin' deal.  Anyway, it should say "dumb bitch," not "dump bitch."  Funny how a single letter can change a meaning so much.

[Gantry]

I'll get back in contact with him asking for a semi-formal email interview.  I don't want to give out his email unless he doesn't care.  He might want to answer 100 emails about a game he wrote 15 years ago.  But get on my ass about it and I'll whip something up...

I don't want to give out his email unless he doesn't care. ... But get on my ass about it and I'll whip something up...

Well yeah, I wouldn't broadcast his e-mail address without his permission either. But you can still remove it from your previous conversations.

Get on your ass? I'll be on your ass like a fat girl at a buffet.

If he blows you off, I think everyone should email him--let hi  think he's a celebrity or something. Then he'll cave.

[JoeDirt]

Gantry...did you find these emails, by chance?

[chubbrock]

I'll be on your ass like Nasty Nate in the showers.
Don't you dare drop that soap.

Naughty jungle of love.  666!  The mark of the beast!  No! No!  Noooo!

[JoeDirt]

Gantry...did you find these emails, by chance?
