hardhat Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Actually, I use one of those wooden sticks that they give for free with gallons of paint at the hardware store. I slice off a part of the wood so that it is the same width as the side of the cardboard box. I have developed quite a technique for glueing my boxes together. Placing the wooden stick inside the glued box and pressing down for a minute or two (to make sure the glue bonds both pieces of cardboard together along the entire height of the box) is only one of the steps in the process. Well after trying out a few ideas, I decided that wooden stir sticks was the thing to try next. So I made a clamp with trimmed down wooden stir sticks then put it away for the afternoon -- so that I could try it out later. And now I read that that technique is quite similar to yours. Very nice. In other news, I now have another wave of PCBs and EPROMs from Howard Uman. So now I have the full production capacity for the run of Flora in stock. Of course I need the game first before I can produce them. Dale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcoleco Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Good news! I've the labels for the pre-release cartridges! List of people interested to get Flora and The Ghost Mirror for ColecoVision : Darrin9999 * san-d-2000 ColecoDan * Pixelboy Ikrananka * evg2000 * coleco_master * scobb UberArcade retrogmr cmart604 * cvga retroillucid * TMOSteel * NIAD * rpgcollector RayXambeR Troy_Whelan * phattyboombatty * JEFF31 * jirkoo * grips03 * jeffgamer * dano lucifershalo superogue harlock76 Bill_Loguidice RelliK111 * skosh bennybingo * reiiel1 * cmart604 AtariBrian * the.golden.ax UberArcade DoctorTom zodiacprime XavierGames ACrystal2011 chocotaco InfraMan RGDiRocco Please note that all the names with an asterix (or star?) are those who specificaly asked for a pre-release cartridge. From this list, Gabriela selected randomly the winners of the very limited release in black cartridges : 23, 5, 11, 3, 15, 32 and 1. You probably noticed that there are 7 numbers, not only 5 like mentioned before, and it's simply because 7 is a nice lucky number here in America. The winners should contact me by private message as soon as possible to get the ordering details. Please note that I will not be able to ship the cartrides right away, but be assured that you will get your parcel in January. Happy holidays! Wish you goodies and merry christmas!

NIAD Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 BTW, you can remove me from the special limited release and switch me to the final release with box and all. Thank you and Happy Holidays. WOW!!! I think this is the first drawing that I have ever won in my life and it has to be one of the best Christmas presents even though I'd still have to pay for it. CHEERS DANIEL & GABRIELLA BUT.... I stated in Post #123 (quoted above) that I would like to be respectfully removed from consideration for the Limited Edition cart and switched to a final CIB release. I guess that I'm in a bit of a pickle here and think I'll have to leave it up to everyone on the list whose name was not drawn to decide if it's OK for me to purchase it now. Here's what I can come up with... - YES, go ahead and purchase it - NO, redraw a new number - NO, let Daniel place it up on eBay to make some well-deserved $$$ I'm sorry to mess this up and hope that it doesn't cause any problems.... it is Christmas time, so let's keep things civil.

hardhat Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) Nice video. Daniel is obviously a much better player than I am. You should see how poorly I do in my game play videos of this game. Anyway, it looks good. I really like the bubble power-up. That's a nice addition for sure.
