Something is going wrong with the transmission of the file from my web site where I am hosting it. I also have tried to download it 3 times today and it fails every time. It does not complete . I will contact my hosting provider and report this.

A digital release is not planned at this time. Subject to change in the future. Right now the goal is to sell all 300 cartridges.

Just want to give everyone an update on the orders for GOSUB. I am trying to ship 5-6 packages a day. I visit the post office during the day on the way to my full-time job. I want to let you know that I am getting the orders ready and trying to get caught up. Thank you for your patience. I try to update the web site after I have shipped packages. So you can check your status @: http://www.2600connection.com/features/gosubi/features_gosubi.html I am also releasing an Odyssey2 game on December 1, 2016 called MEAN SANTA. I want to let you know that the INTELLLIVISION community is much more popular and active than the ODYSSEY2 community. Wow -what a difference! I was very surprised at the high interest level in GOSUB for the Intellivision. I hope to release another Intellivision game in 2017, if all goes well, and as planned, along with programmer Chris ( AKA "atari2600land" ). It is called THE SECRET GOVERNMENT WAFFLE PROJECT. Stay tuned!

dZ- Do you have the samples of the Wizard's voices for MAME? It is cool to listen to the random voices. WIZARD OF WOR is in my top 10 of all time favorite games. It's part nostalgia for me though I must admit. Let me know... Tim

Here's a picture of what you receive when you order GOSUB for Intellivision: The game box, instruction manual, 1 overlay for classic GOSUB, 1 overlay for SUPER PRO GOSUB, the game cartridge with color label, and a flyer. The game box has the serial # on it. Here's programmer's ATARI2600LAND's.... ENJOY! Tim

Maurizio, I received your payment today. No problem. I will send you a private message as well just to confirm your address. -Tim

I am getting around to sending them, asking the Atari Age members for their paypal IDs, as I did not have these when I took the reservations. This is new, "unchartered territory" for me. Lathe26, I am sending you a PM this morning. Thank you for your patience. -Tim

Just want to give you all an update and that as you can probably imagine, things are pretty busy here... I am putting the orders together, packing and shipping, etc. I would like to add that once I receive your payment, please allow 1 to 2 weeks for processing and shipping. It's just me doing all this "work" from this point now and I am also working a full time job. Thanks for your patience. Onward and upward! OK - back to gluing the boxes and assembling the cartridges and adhering the labels... in between answering the door and handing out candy to trick or treaters! Again I want to say thank you and give a "tip of the cap" to Rev for co-publishing this release with me. Without his assitance and knowledge, it would have been extremely difficult to publish and release this game Happy Halloween! Tim

I found a web site that lists all of the things the WIZARD says: A few more dungeons and you'll be a worlord. Ah good, my pets where getting hungry. ha ha ha ha. Ah you thought you could but I'm the dungeon master. Ha ha ha ha. And my teleporting spell can be even faster. Ha ha ha ha. Another coin for my treasure chest.

Hi guys and gals - if you would, please do not send me the paypal transaction ID #. I believe that is YOUR transaction ID. No need to send that ID #. What would be better is to send me a private message with your full name, so I can match your full name up with you atariage name as I am cross-referencing these as I am fulfilling the orders and making sure - and I am double checking - that the orders have the correct person & game serial # that they are reserved for. thank you, Tim

@ intellivotion. I will send you an invoice ... please send me a private message with your paypal id thank you Others who have reservations... please be patient. I will get to you. I will be sending you a private message. (need more coffee! ) thanks Tim

Good morning! Online orders are now being accepted. @ DZ-JAY -- I have kept and am honoring all reservations. You will not have to stand in line.

I will start accepting payments on Saturday, October 29. Please visit the web site @ http://www.2600connection.com/features/gosubi/features_gosubi.html

In the higher levels of the homebrew MEAN SANTA, a storm cloud appears and lightning shoots from it. If it hits Santa's sleigh, he is knocked off course.

To satisfy some requests for the game on cartridge, I am happy to report that LS_DRACON and I have made an agreement to release the "unlimited release" of DEATH RACE for the Odyssey2. Please note this game cartridge is NTSC format and it does not have a serial number. There is no box included either. It is just the color manual and the loose game cartridge. The price is $25 US DOLLARS plus shipping. For more information, please visit : http://www.2600connection.com/features/death_race/features_death_race.html

Rafael has been kind enough to offer a demo version of MEAN SANTA for everyone to try. It only features 3 houses of the game and then it stops. The released game has 15 houses and 1 final house with the ROASTED TURKEY DINNER which is being be protected by 4 guard dogs. Some notes: - This is a timed game. Best time wins. - Fly your sleigh through the night sky. Avoid the rogue snowflakes. Get hit and your sleigh will be bumped and 10 seconds get added to your time. - Navigate your sleigh and carefully land onto a roof to enter a house. - Steal , I mean collect, the presents in the house. Do not bump into the walls. If you do, the lights will come on and you will have to be still for a few seconds... this adds more seconds to your time. - Press the action button to make Mean Santa move faster while in the houses. Have fun! The file is attached. MEANDEMO.BIN meandemo.bin

Here are two more screen shots to get excited about: The first is a screen shot of the 16th ( and final ) house in MEAN SANTA: Santa must start at the top, and work his way down, avoiding the 4 guard dogs. At the bottom of the screen is the ROASTED TURKEY DINNER, which MEAN SANTA must steal, and then work his way back up to the top of the screen, once again - avoiding the 4 guard dogs. The second is for owners of the VIDEOPAC PLUS systems... if you have this system you will see these enhanced graphics as MEAN SANTA navigates his sleigh: Please note these graphics do not appear on the ODYSSEY2 systems... ENJOY!

Done! I will exchange the serial #'s ... thank you ,DZ-Jay! - Tim

One is of Santa in his sleigh dodging the snowflakes and the second is of Santa once inside the house, getting ready to collect the items! December 1 is two months from today!
