I guess they don't have a website anymore?

Work out transportation and talk to me about a place to stay.  

Okay, transportation will be me driving.  Vlad might be joining me, so I'll let you know what's going on with that after I get word from him.  As for a place to stay, I guess I'll leave that to you.  There's no rush, and if you can't get anything worked out, that's fine, I'll get a hotel room.  Let me know if you figure something out.

They do, but it has moved (at least temporarily).  Go to http://www.cinciclassic.org/ instead of the old address at .com.  Apparently the domain on the old one expired this month and the guy that has the ability to renew it is unreachable.

Oh now I see, I tried searching but only came on the .com & it didn't work anymore. I couldn't even get a direct hit for it though, I was finding it linked from other sites.

I'm a little surprised seeing Hozer listed as a vendor. And he's got a webpage setup again.  He was the topic of a large debate a couple years ago on Atariage, when he stopped paying royalties to homebrew Authors. He ended up taking his website offline, stopped responding to all email and only dealing via snail mail. He's never gone away, but he did leave the online communities. So now he's got a simple page setup & coming to Cinncy, should be interesting as news spreads.

[Lord Nepenthean]

I am very doubtful that Hozer will be a vendor at CinciClassic.  That website is not maintained at all.  Several people (including myself) have offered to take over the reigns so it actually is up-to-date, but whoever has it doesn't seem willing to give up the webmaster title.  Anyway, that list of vendors is for CinciClassic 2002.  Take a look at the page again.  They just haven't changed it in that long (which is a shame).

[Tynstar]

What site are you guys talking about? Who is this person?

[Sauza12]

If I remember correctly, Hozer Games produced homebrew and hack games in cart form for sale to the general public.  Any game you wanted they would burn to a rom and send it to you with labels, boxes and manuals (I think).

Then a little while ago the guy that ran Hozer was accused of cutting out the authors of the games from any profits that he was getting for the sale of the cartridges.  There was some vile words thrown back and forth, and if I remember correctly, a lawsuit was threatened.  In the end he just closed up shop and hasn't been heard from until now.

It was a shame that it came down to that, because that was a great service that he had that no one else has replaced.  I would love to see an all new Hozer on the scene again.

Thanks for the info.

I'm still surprised he has a web page up again though:

http://www.hozervideo.com/

He use to have a full website with all the games & services he offered, but then he took it all down. He has still been around via snail mail for people wanted to get games made that he offered, but not many people want to hassle with that. He would send CD with his webpage content on it, & pics & prices of what he offered to people that requested it via snail mail. email itself was not an option. So maybe that is an old page, I see now the 02 date at top, but still Randy has a web page up & running again, and email, which I thought was interesting.
