I still have plenty of stock and intend on keeping all these Jaguar games in stock indefinitely. As I just printed new boxes, manuals, and labels for Xenon 2, I will be in no danger of running out of those for quite some time. The reason these games are still marked as pre-orders as I still have a lot of orders to complete and ship. Nearly all the Jaguar pre-orders have shipped at this point, except those placed in the last month or so. As soon as I get caught up on all orders, I will remove the "pre-order" designation for all of these new games. ..Al

Oh come on, stop beating this dead horse or I'm going to kick you out of this thread. ..Al

Yes, they are emailed automatically when the order is marked as shipped. ..Al

Shipped a large batch of Jaguar GameDrives over the weekend, and these boxed copies will be shipping today! You can sign up on our Jaguar GameDrive waiting list to get your own copy as more become available: https://forms.gle/SxFMPTGADK5T8r3CA

Awesome, glad they arrived safely. Hope you have fun with everything, those are all great games! ..Al

Pretty hard when using the keyboard in Stella, will need to try on a real 2600. Love the label artwork! ..Al

While terrible hand-writing may slow down some packages, this is certainly not the reason why the USPS is suffering from terrible delivery times right now. Every package and letter I mail has laser-printed postage and addressing, and I'm suffering the same problems as everyone else. This is absolutely true, but let's not dive into politics here. Hopefully the DeJoy problem will be fixed soon. ..Al

This will be getting attention from me as soon as I am caught up shipping current back orders. We've already been working on the box, manual, and label. ..Al

I have been sending out periodic emails to those who purchased any of the pre-order games, with a final update going out a few weeks ago. Final, because I have all the printed materials for these games and have been buy building games so I can get all these orders out. I already have nearly all the Jaguar pre-order games shipped, and I have all of the non-2600 games built at this point. So just need to finish the 2600 games and then I can get all these shipped. It's my main focus, as I know everyone is eager to play these games, and I'm even more eager to get them into everyone's hands. If you check your email spam folder, you may find emails from AtariAge there. If they are and you mark them as not spam, that should prevent them from being tagged as spam in the future. ..Al

Hopefully it's not a reproduction cartridge. ..Al

I assume you mean Retron77, and it definitely won't work in that. The Retron77 attempts to dump a cartridge and then run it in emulation (Stella). The Retron77 cannot dump a Melody game at all, and it has problems with most bankswitch homebrew games as well (8K, 16K, 32K, 64K, especially the larger ones). I'd still like for you to have a copy that works properly in your 7800, although if you have what we deem an "evil" 7800, that could be more difficult. ..Al

Should work fine on the 7800, however, it is not terribly uncommon for a random homebrew game to not work in someone's 7800. The 7800 is definitely the most finicky of the 2600-compatible systems out there. You're one of the first people to get a copy, as I only shipped a few to people who also ordered the Jaguar pre-order games. So it's going to be a few weeks before others start getting their copies. I test Melody-based games twice before they go out--first after programming the board and again after the board has been assembled into a cartridge, but before I have labeled it. So it was definitely working on my end before I shipped your package. But sometimes a game won't work when the customer tries it in his or her system, and it's not always obvious why. I am curious if it works in your other 7800 system. I'll be glad to replace the cartridge for you, of course. ..Al

@Ruggers Customs I removed your post attacking one of your customers because you doxxed the customer, which is unacceptable on our forums. If you want to respond to @7800's post, that's fine of course, but please do so without revealing any personal information about the user. Thank you, ..Al

How about a translucent blue shell, illuminated from the inside? ..Al

Gods and The Chaos Engine from the Bitmap Brothers are making their way to the Atari Jaguar in 2021! Both games will be available from the AtariAge Store. Immortality breeds contempt and the Gods, so long uncaring for the events of man, know nothing of the exploits of our hero. He stands before them showing neither fear nor disdain and asks the Gods that shall he return, fulfilling completely their quest, he will join them as an equal and a brother. The horror, the impertinence the mistake realized too late, the gateway lies open to their domain where no mortal man ever trod before. But the words of the Gods may not be broken and only the hope of the hero's failure comforts them as the warrior departs for the City of Legends, preparing to carve one more story on its walls... Gods is a game of exploration, combat and adventure. You assume the role of a classical hero who has taken up the challenge of the Gods. In order to gain the ultimate prize of immortality you must slay the four guardians of the city and return to Mount Olympus. Enter six hard nailed mercenaries for hire. The Thug, Preacher, Mercenary, Gentleman, Navvie and Brigand. These ball breakers are armed to the teeth with over 25 weapons and a host of destructive devices peculiar to their class. Select two characters to form your party and enter the World of Chaos. The adventure covers four graphic worlds and 16 levels loaded with fiendish traps, puzzles, and secret passages. Blag or blast your way through hordes of different monsters to do battle with the ultimate killing machine, The Chaos Engine. ---- Stay tuned for more details about both games!

I'm personally not a fan of the M Network boxes. They are ugly and lazy, in my opinion (similar to how lazy/cheap they got with the cartridges by using Intellivision shells with an adapter). ..Al

I have removed the binary from your post since it's linked in the thread started by Ryan. This will allow him to update the binary as needed and also makes it easier for him to see how many times it's being downloaded on the forum. ..Al

Love how you colored the text on that title screen, that looks fantastic! Need to try out this latest version. ..Al

Nope.

I received a message back from "Belts Mania", confirming that they did indeed create that belt. Whoops, that should have been, "back in the day". ..Al

I've only played and finished the first game eons ago. Did start Mass Effect 2 at one point, but never finished it. So I'll probably go through and play all three remastered games at some point. Does look like a nice improvement over the original games, at least based on the trailer. ..Al

You're welcome! ..Al

You're welcome!

The artwork from one of the panels is from the 7800 homebrew Pac-Man Collection, which is relatively new compared to everything else. Also, I can't imagine Atari would have included Alien Brigade versus many of their well-known arcade titles they could have drawn upon instead. Aaaaand, a minimal amount of searching revealed a photo of this same belt on a page from a company that manufacturers wrestling belts... Here's the page with the photo: https://www.facebook.com/BeltsMania001/photos/1610586462468644 Here's the company's main page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BeltsMania001 I've already sent them a message and asked them if they manufactured this belt. But I'm 99.9% confident at this point that this is a brand new belt created very recently by the above company. ..Al

Yes, you would have received a confirmation email from the Google form after submitting it. I just took a look using the email address associated with your forum account and you are number 1363 on the list. So you should be able to buy one in, I'd guess, two more rounds of Jaguar GameDrives. ..Al
