Albert Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Working on processing Sega cartridges for an upcoming new release at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo! Here's a batch of 30 carts in the sink after they've had their labels removed. Will update this thread periodically as progress is made! ..Al PS: To fend off the inevitable, "ZOMG YOU ARE DESTROYING RARE GAMES!", this is a limited run (at most, 300 games, but maybe less), as this game will only be sold boxed, and we'll only be ordering a fixed number of boxes, circuit boards, and manuals. So, yes, 300 Sega carts will be sacrificed, but that's a drop in the bucket overall. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+McCallister Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Since it is a limited run, will this be exclusive to PRGE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Since it is a limited run, will this be exclusive to PRGE? No. I'll probably bring 100 copies to the show. I don't really think it's fair to have show exclusives like this, when it's feasible for most people to attend. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Can't wait to find out what the game is! Posting so I can keep track of this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaxda Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Just out of curiosity, which game made the most sacrifices? I am guessing Congo Bongo. Hmm, looks like Tac-Scan is the least rare on the list, though. Looking forward to this one--wish I could go to Portland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydro Thunder Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Very curious also, completely stoked for the PRGE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckafka99 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 If those are for Space Rocks, I'm fairly certain I see my name on one them already! :-) Wish I lived in 'that' Portland for the show instead of (near) this other one on the opposite side of the country (in ME).

No, those are not for Space Rocks, which will use normal Atari shells. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxpressed Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Sweet. One of those was mine. Al bought it from me on eBay. I didn't know it was destined for greatness until then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I like Tac-Scan. Arcade version was way better of course, but the 2600 version wasn't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 is that the box I sent you looong ago? It's been so long ago I forgot what it looked like. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 is that the box I sent you looong ago? It's been so long ago I forgot what it looked like. Indeed. I have a fair number I've collected since then as well (some of which were in the sink in the photo above). Still need more, though! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
