I can't wait to have that site back up, it had a slew of 2600 programming information that I wanted to get my hands on! Hope this soon!

Mr. Do!'s Castle because the collision detection makes it look like I don't know how to play a game (freaking constantly adjusting the player's position). Castlevania Lord of Shadows because of how much blood, gore and nudity is in it, I don't like playing it when my wife is in the room. Actually I sold that game for that reason.

No but I'm doing this all on a Mac with an EyeTV 200 (Discontinued) which does MPEG3 encoding realtime on the EyeTV 200 unit itself, not the CPU which most capture cards do. I've never had video/audio sync issues either. I have it setup 2600 -> VCR -> EyeTV 200 because the EyeTV software won't record static but it will record the VCRs blue screen.

I have a firewire capture unit on my computer which I use to record all my world record attempts. I'm still waiting to hear back from TG on where to send my videos too . . . its been 2 months with no response . . . .

Very nice haul for 80, I'd call him back and see if you could get more!

Sounds like an awesome machine, but I just don't have the funds for it! Thank you for sharing!

I didn't realize these have started shipping! I can't wait to get them!

That is a very honest and very true statement. Just on equipment alone, not factoring in the cost to make the cartridges, I've spent over $350, thats the EPROM Programmer, the EPROM Eraser, Soldering Iron (Which I'm about to upgrade to another model), solder, soldering iron tips (I'm burning through these like crazy but I think thats because its a cheap iron), donor cartridges, shipping boxes, packing material, tape, cleaning supplies, labels, etc. Even for me getting into this project there has been way more cost than I anticipated however like I said in previous post, I'm not doing this for a profit, I'm doing it for the community. Originally I wasn't even going to do a CIB of Candy Catcher, it was going to be the Text Label and that was it, however I got a huge surge of interest for a boxed version, and Brian O. made an awesome box. I asked everyone that had pre-ordered my game which they would rather have, the text label or the new designed label and box from Brian O. I quickly discovered that most people wanted both, so that is what I've been doing. I wasn't planning on doing this much work and at times its been a little bit overwhelming but I've been learning and the community really seems to appreciate it as well. I went into this hoping to sell maybe 10 copies max and recover 50% of my cost, and still be down the other 50%. Whenever I get more parts in, I'm working on these carts at night after my kids go to bed, its time consuming but then again I love doing it! Not trying to discourage you from doing this, its a wonderful feeling to have so many people play something you programmed, but its not a golden ticket either . . . . and trust me no thinks your a bad person, we could all use more money, but I will say this. Design and program a game with love/compassion for the game and it will be better than a game that is designed and programmed with the intention of profit. -Disjaukifa

Ben was an absolute pleasure to deal with, not only did he buy two copies of Candy Catcher from me, he also bought some other loose 2600 games from me as well! Thank you so much Ben!

I'm glad it got there so quickly! Let me know what you think! I hope you enjoy the game! I'm honored you want to put my game with your other rare games! I'm glad to hear you've had so much fun with my game! I'm looking forward to the boxed set as well ! I'm glad you've enjoyed Candy Catcher! I'm glad to hear it got to you quickly! Let me know what your think of CC thexder! Nice! No problem! UPDATE Hey Guys, I got the rest of my parts for the text label version of the game in today and have been working all night on burning EPROMs and soldering parts together. The remaining copies of the Limited Text Label version will be built tomorrow and shipped out Wednesday morning! Thanks Disjaukifa

I'm doing this for the community and not for a profit. The shear fact that so many people have be messaging and letting me know how much fun they have had with my game has been my motivation to do this. Also it has been a wonderful learning experience as well! Yeah I'm making some money, but not much. Also this has been very time consuming at the same time however I've enjoyed ever moment of it!

Ditto same here! I want this game so badly!

CPUWIZ supplied the parts for the cartridges, I'm programming the EPROMs myself and assembling all the PCBs myself as well.

hey, how did you get your game to be sold on the AtariAge store and are you making money off of it? Its not being sold in the AA store (To the best of my knowledge . . .), I'm selling it in the Marketplace myself. I'm making the cartridges myself and doing all the work myself. Honestly I'm pretty much breaking even, I'm making a little amount of money but not nearly as much as you would think, the cost for all the equipment, parts, labels, solder, boxes, shipping boxes, postage, and supplies eats almost all of the cost up!
