Awesome graphics! Count on me for one boxed copy!

It is a really good idea to talk about homebrew games! I am doing it since 1997 in France with ReVival, a quarterly magazine. Some years ago, I have discussed to purpose an American issue of this publication. And I have made it, with the help of a main translator (not me I am not good enough at English!) and some other translators, and it was done with issue #29. From the start, Michael Thomasson from Good Deal Games, purposes it to his customers and I would really like to thank him for that. And now, you can find English issue of ReVival on the AtariAge store, too. It has taken time to see again the AA store but now it's done. ReVival wants to be the voice of the hidden side of video gaming and it is devoted to homebrew. Each issue covers a maximum of new homebrew games on all systems and related the last news of course. Yes, I understand when a new issue is published, the news are a little older. That's a fact. But, sometimes a new homebrew game takes only few days to be completely sold! So it is impossible to be reactive! And some other homebrew games are not really limited in quantity (such as Opcode Games, with multiples editions) or AtariAge games. So time is not a big problem. I think a player who will read a complete test of Juno First on Atari 2600 next year will always want buy it after reading a review of this game. On the other side, I really appreciate myself to read a "paper" magazine, be quiet at home, and find really deep review of homebrew games. With ReVival, we always want to make the best reviews we can, revealing easter eggs, anecdotes, etc. I think this type of publication is really complementary of what we can read on the Internet. ReVival is not really a magazine for only collectors. Yes, we shows packaging, give details of it but we are mainly focused on the gameplay, the interest of the game, etc. And I think, taking time to make review gives better articles to our readers. The first play is sometimes different after some weeks. Some games are really short, or boring but some others reveals their interest after a long play time. So I think the magazine Eduardo would like, exists since some years. But it is not perfect I suppose. We listen to any comment, suggestion, critic, help, idea. And, remember, anyone can participate! Actually, we need some people able to translate from French to American language. It could be very helpful for us and allow us to gain some precious time and reduc the delay between French and English issues.We have encountered some problems to made the English #39 issue. This issue is completed now. It rests only some few days to finish the layout and let's go to printing. I really hope you will buy it in a maximum of 3 weeks, in the middle of november. We hope making ReVival #40 for january. Perhaps before if we can have the help of other people interested by translating (it could be a great exercise for learning French!) You know, ReVival has no commercial purpose. It is published by a non-profit association, with professional quality standards in mind, for the content as well as for the layout. All the team and myself dedicate our heart, our passion and our motivation. And it's only done in our spare time! And we don't make many advertising because we have not really time to do that. And if we take time to make advertising, this time cannot be used to review games! It is simple. We perfer doing a great job before making "profit". It is the goal of ReVival, since 12 years now! So, don't hesitate to participate by writing articles, notably in English (it is easier for me to translate from English to French!) Thanks for your interest in ReVival. Don't hesitate to read our free issue #32. (and thank you Youki for talking about ReVival And sorry for my poor English, the quality of translation is far better in ReVival issue (thanks to Didier Briel for that!)

PM sent. I have some Pc-FX games to trade (Nirgends, battle heat, ...). I can also consider to trade some 3DO and CD-32 stuff against some items from your list. Thanks!

Only 20 copies... too bad

I don't know exactly but perhaps a mode with more than one ball at the same time, a limited time (1, 3 and 5 minutes?), the possbility to play with 4 players (with two paddle controllers, like videolympics), some options (width of the rackets, of the ball, speed, the number of goals for the winner, ...), some obstacles (perhaps moving obstacles?) on the playfield, etc. Too, the game for 4 players could be with 2 vs 2 but also 1 vs 3 !! Or perhaps, such as an old French Atari Falcon game ("multiballes", but I'm not sure): 2 horizontal rackets and 2 vertical rackets. Perhaps use the button for move the racket near the center of the screen, etc. Now, you have "just" to program these new features!

Please add me to the list but I have a question: does it use paddle controllers such as Vong on 2600? And is it a "simple" Pong or has it some extras, new game modes, etc.?

Count on me for one limited edited copy! Any idea of the selling price?

It's great to see a new homebrew game on VB. Congratulations! I really appreciate (and reviewed it in a ReVival magazine issue) GoSub! on Atari 2600 (what about GoSub2? canceled?) and it could be fantastic to have it on a real cartridge in the future and not only to play on emulator.

I'll take one copy, too! After Jeepeers Creepers, you like ghosts, Daniel!

Count on me for one CIB copy. Thanks!

I am interested in buying this game. I can pay 125 USD if you agree this price and if the game is always available, of course!

Hi! Add me to the list if possible, please. Just let me know concerning cost (I am located in France) Sincerely

I've just seen this topic! Yes, I would like to buy one copy if possible and I agree with the price of 70 USD. Just let me know!

If you want to buy a CC2 at a reasonable price, here it is! Serious request only please! http://forums.acbm.com/acbm/forum/viewthread?thread=1163 Chad Schell answered to me: "As for the CC2, if I could even find parts I'd need 100 orders or so".

When I have launched ReVival magazine in English language (since issue #29, now issue #37!), I have naturally contacted Michael because, as a simple customer, I have a good feeling and good relationship with him. So, I wanted to see Michael selling ReVival English issues. I think he is the perfect person to do that, not only for business you know! I am making ReVival on my spare time, only because I love retro games and the homebrew scene, not only on Atari systems! And Michael is like me! I am considerering Michael as a very good friend now, he is a honest guy and he really makes huge efforts to support homebrew scene, on every system. So, I am sad to read a post like that and really hope he can find the energy and the time to continue with GoodDealGames. But sure, family and other things like that are the most important things. Not easy to chose for sure and I don't want to be at his place now!!!! So Michael, keep up the good work and you can count on me for the years to come! --------- http://revivalgames.org/welcome.php 100% homebrew and retrogaming on every system!

I am interested by Pick up!

Actually, is it possible to buy one Travi cartridge, please? I would like to test it in ReVival magazine but I only have seen this post today. Thanks.

Please add me to the list for one copy. Thanks!
