Welcome to the Intellivision Revolution!

Hover Bovver HALF CUT Edition Available For Pre Order Now

Ever since the president of Elektronite was involved in creating the world's first Intellivision emulator, he has been trying to get Hover Bovver made for the platform.

Back in the late 90s, before Intellivision Productions released Intellivision Lives!, Jeff Minter was sent the emulator and development kit. He spent one weekend, knocking the game together on the Intellivision, but quickly abandoned it. This picture is all that remains of that effort.

SOURCE: CLASSIC GAME PUBLISHERS

It was dissapointing that Jeff Minter did not complete the game, but eventually he  gave permission to Elektronite to develop the game for the platform. 

When Elektronite started development of Hover Bovver, they wanted it to be extra special. They hired a top notch artist to develop the art, and wanted there to be Intellivoice support with British voice actors, and a high score save right on the cartridge! They wanted to hire an experienced programmer who could deliver the high quality Intellivoice support and high quality game play that they demanded. To encourage the programmer, Elektronite offered an unprecedented $6000 US to the programmer as an incentive.

Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan. 

It was with great sadness that Hover Bovver had to be cancelled due to very nasty and public fighting with the developer over terms of the contract, and quality concerns.

Despite the good intentions of many to try and intervene, a compromise could not be reached. The empty boxes and overlays are currently being sold. 

That version of the game is cancelled, and it is time to move on. Despite what the developer of the game may think, Elektronite still has the permission of Llamasoft to write Hover Bovver for the Intellivision. Any distribution by the original developer of the game is infringement of the rights of Classic Game Publishers, Inc. the exclusive manufacturer of Elektronite games.  

That being said, Elektronite has decided that is NOT going to give up that easily. In association with Classic Game Publishers, Inc., the game is going to be re-developed!

A programmer has been hired.

Due to the considerable resources put into the original effort, (a large amount being lost) CGPI will be doing our own sort of 'crowd funding'. A big difference, however, is going to be that you ACTUALLY get something for your 'pre-order'. Of course, we are not asking you to 'pre-order' as much as we are asking you to 'pre-pay'.
