+MrFish Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Just curious. Saw a review on Atariprotos.com Kind of. Here's the thread about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjb Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) I pre-paid for a copy at Video 61 about 2-3 weeks ago. I e-mailed Lance a few days ago and he said he is still waiting for a new batch to arrive. I would e-mail him (video61@tcq.net) and see if he has a copy available in this next batch. He's had my money a little while but I have no problem with that. I've done business with him before (as many others have) and consider him trustworthy. tjb Edited September 2, 2007 by tjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+MrFish Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I noticed that it is also on the list of available cartridges at Video 61 now, for $34.95... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdh Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I noticed that it is also on the list of available cartridges at Video 61 now, for $34.95... Thanks for the 'heads up' I missed the first batch. Looking forward to this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Order is now in. Can wait to play the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Cream Jonsey Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Does the package from Video61 come with a box, or is it just the cart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) Does the package from Video61 come with a box, or is it just the cart? It comes with a box and manual. Not trying to be mean or anything but it's not even homebrew quality I'm afraid. Just a white generic box with a home made label and printout on what the game is about and how to play. Label on cart is also low quality. I just made my own XE style label and applied it to the gray XE cart! If anyone who owns this wants a label like this, I have a whole sheet made as I made extras incase I messed it up when cutting/laminating etc. They are high quality, cut to size and laminated. Just use glue stick and apply to your cart! $5 shipped. Edited September 19, 2007 by tjlazer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use glue stick and apply to your cart! $5 shipped. Your label looks great! I actually have die-cut label sheets specifically for Atari 8-bit cartridges--they are pre-cut to the right size, complete with the (minimally) round corners. I used these to make a batch of 8-bit carts with brown labels (for the older brown plastic/metal carts) and they are hard to tell apart from the real thing. When you run out of your labels, I'd be happy to print out some sheets (I think there are 12 labels on each sheet) and make them available for others at a low cost. Beef Drop for the 8-bit use these labels also.. Xenophobe definitely deserves to have a high-quality label! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I like the 2600/Lynx picture best. That would be neat to see on a label. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Nice, what did you use to laminate the label? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Nice, what did you use to laminate the label? Just sticky back laminant sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEtalGuy66 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Hehe, I'll rather wait for some lost soul to make a dump of it... Yeah someone needs to get a copy to Fandal so he can make an executable file version for 128k+ systems.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Fandal bought the ROM and dumped it originally IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) Fandal bought the ROM and dumped it originally IIRC Where did he buy the ROM from? I wonder if I can get mine dumped and working on a 8MBit Flash cart along with other protos.

ndary Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 It is possible to write a small program for the Atari that will 'dump' the cartridge to rom. but fandal as the rom already. 35$ for a cart is not much if you want to play the game... it is more then just buying the game its also to support those pepole who invested lots of time & money digging this game out from its grave so we can enjoy it Nir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndary Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 due to the difference in the design between the 8bit flash rom and the XE cartridge, the game in his current format will not work on the 8mbit flash rom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetle Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Fandal got that prototype on ebay for an astronomical price, just to be sure it doesn't get into non-sharing-collectors hands. The price was 2,000€ (This was the auction at eBay). Then he sold it with loss (don't know how much) to Video61 and gets a small amount for every sold cart. He will never get back his invested money - not even if any active atarian on this board would buy a cart at video61. I don't think the price is unfair. In my opinion it would be extremely unfair to spread the ROM for free and take Fandal any chance to get at least some of his money back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I agree with Beetle, it was a lot of cash to put down to get this ROM, we should support Fandal, and help him get back at least part of his loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) I think everyone should place an order and buy the game. Hopefully he can get his money back. Here is a mock up of an alternate label. Which do you guys like better? Edited September 19, 2007 by tjlazer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie3 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I am thinking of getting this. Is there much difference in game play in comparison to the 7800 version. How does Pokey sound vs. TIA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion it would be extremely unfair to spread the ROM for free and take Fandal any chance to get at least some of his money back. Absolutely agree, the price is low and it's the right thing to do to support Fandal. I'm just waiting on mine to show up Here is a mock up of an alternate label. Which do you guys like better? The second one here, much better. I'd like to see that on a cart near me soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
