Saw this thread...

http://www.atariage....-the-beanstalk/

And thought this game looked fantastic. Does any one know if this is available on cart anywhere?

[atari2600land]

Thanks for the compliment! I think who would know the answer to this is whoever the guy published it for me and released it at some expo back in 2010. I think it might be Rick Weis, but I'm not sure.

[Rick Weis]

Yes it was released at our PRGE 2010 show, SeanHQ and atari2600land worked on it. we did sell out long ago.. not sure about making more, that would be up to the people that worked on the game not me.

very fun game!

Indeed, we did a limited run of numbered carts (1-25) for PRGE 2010 that included a manual. As Rick pointed out, they sold out long ago, however I just talked with atari2600land and he's ok if we were to do another run of the cartridges. Of course if we did it, the label and manual would have some minor changes to keep the special PRGE 2010 run "special" so if there is some real interest in it, another run could be produced.

I may be interested, at what price point would it sell for?

It would depend on the quantity we produce and if we do a manual again, but probably somewhere in the $25.00-$35.00 USD range.

I would cerainly buy this game.
For those unfamiliar, here is a nice video of the game in action....

A big thumbs-up for this game; I love it! If you get it, be sure and search for the hidden location and discover Atari2600lands real life secret identity!

Uhm, what?  Neo made this years ago, I know since I made the carts.

The proto cart you produced back then was a work in progress version of the game. The version that was released at PRGE 2010 was complete and done with atari2600land's approval and support of the special release. As mentioned above I talked with him on the phone earlier today and he's perfectly fine with it being released in cartridge form again and since there are people who want it, maybe you could take on the project of producing more?

[CPUWIZ]

I didn't do this for you or atari2600land, I did this for neotokeo and I didn't just make that one cart either IIRC.

[bennybingo]

Please count me in for a copy.

[NML32]

Yes, count me in.  I've been wanting for a long time.

[neotokeo2001]

I was getting set up to release Jack and the Beanstalk but it just never came together. I believe I had two cartridges made by CPUWIZ to check out the label design more then the game itself. I never knew that the game had an actual release. I wish I had known, Then maybe I could have done something with the 30 copies of Abbot and Costello's Jack and the Beanstalk DVD's. What label was used on the released version of the game?

All programming was done by atari2600land.

[Rick Weis]

here is the one we used.

Thanks for clearing this up!

So I am curious, is there any chance of a re-release? This looks like a fantastic game.
BTW, I really like the test lables CPU made!

I've been talking with CPU about doing a re-release of the game, so for now I'm compiling a list of who wants one so it can be price quoted. If we end up doing a re-release, the label would be different then the one used for PRGE 2010. I guess CPU could do a label design, but as mentioned price and quanitity is still being flushed out.

As mentioned in my comment above I've been in discussions with CPU about doing a re-release run, but it's looking good for a re-release. For now if you are interested in getting a copy on cartridge, please send me a private message so I can add you to the "want list".

[seanhq]

Ok, just talked with CPU again and I'm going to have him do a run of cartridges.  The price will be $30.00 USD shipped anywhere in the World. If you'd like to place an order, send me a private message.

[Necron99]

any update with the carts?
