Acks mention of a GBC game reminds me of this:

Infinity was a sequel game to a TI Basic RPG called Joltima (Justins Ultima). It was highly regarded and is considered one of the best games for the pre TI86 calculators to this day - along with Phoenix, Penguin, and zTetris. Infinity was designed by Justin Karneges gorgeous GBC spiritual successor and as you can see from those two screenshots, it was a bit of an undertaking. But the spec sheet said 50 areas, 100+ items, and a dynamic battle system - ala an SRPG. Apparently the game was finished in mid 2001 but never got a publisher since everyone was moving to GBA games. I have contacted Justin in the past but never got a response back. I would gladly pay him to play this game. Joltima was my game on my TI82 in High School Chemistry.

Wow! I think I'm speechless.



If Infinity survives in any form on the creator's hard drive, the world NEEDS this game.

Long shot, but maybe hook him up with Piko Interactive. The game can get both a physical and digital release and everyone wins. He gets paid, Piko gets a portion, people like you can finally enjoy it. He's the only legit publisher of lost games from the past I know of.

Nevermind I talked to him, he said he tried, and the owner there wants $50000 for the game and that's just way too much.

What a shame, that's a game I'd buy for sure.

This looks like a sweet GBC version of Golden Sun.

Alright guys we have a new mission. We must get Infinity released. Let's come up with a plan to make this happen.

Looks kind of like dragon warrior meets shining force would be a better description I think.

If someone wants to fund buying this guy off that's nice, perhaps if you can make a hard effort of it and get somewhere, pitch it to Piko, he's got the resources to get that thing done up professionally and right, not like some fly by night bootleg ripoff artists or bootleggers with their fly by night junk.

I am not following. Are you saying you talked to Piko and he has talked to the Infinity team? If so, why would we need to pitch it to Piko?
