He sure did We all love him so much, that Zombie George agreed to a one-time promotional spot. Only cost me a bucket of brains.

And a special AtariAge-only ROM variant: Desert Bus, Cascadia Edition! This was whipped up in a mad frenzy about a year and a half ago, for a charity event. Enjoy! Variant collectors, do you want this on a cart? desertbus_cascadia.zip

Hey folks! I've not been around a lot this past year, and I've REALLY not been around a lot for the past month or two. Now that we're all stuck indoors for the foreseeable future, and the physical copies are long since sold out, I figured it's time to unleash the hounds ROMS! I'm attaching the ROMS for Desert Bus, Goatnom, and FW Diagnostics. For free. To anyone who wants them. You guys have been such a source of support and encouragement and I've had a blast making Intellivision software over the years. It's not much, but if I can help at least one person stave off 8 hours of boredom through all of this... then good I'll also make them available for free download at fwgames.ca/roms_new As an aside, I discovered someone who posted a full 8 hour INTV Desert Bus session on Youtube. Amazing! desertbus_release.zip fwdiagnostics_release.zip goatnom_release.zip

Breaking News! OK, not really. BUT - we have enough leftover materials to produce a small number of "extra" boxed copies, for those that want the functionality of the cart, but didn't get one originally, or don't care so much about serial numbers. See here for details: http://fwgames.ca/fw-diagnostics-ordering-unnumbered-copies/ $40 plus shipping (a $14.95 savings!) - the only things lacking are the serial number stickers, and overlays. And the overlays weren't actually used to guide the diagnostic utilities anyway, they were more of a fun feelie.

Desert Bus is officially sold out! Stay tuned for exciting ROM details soon

2 copies left. It's practically sold out! Grab a copy now, or they're back into the Vault!

Yup, it's in the plans. I'm less worried about encoding to a flash cart, to be honest. I'm also going to manufacture some "cheaper" options for people who care less about the collectible side of things. I know a lot of people would like the cart but don't want to pay for the full experience. I need to see what materials are floating around.

I'll take care of this, somehow. PM me and we'll figure something out. I hate international shipping, as tracking is really expensive.

Officially sold out of serial-numbered copies! Thanks for the support everyone! There's been enough demand that I think I'm going to make up a few more copies out of the spare parts. Please let me know if you'd be interested. They won't be *quite* as full of contents, but a boxed cart with most of the goodies will still be included. Along with an appropriate price reduction. I'm also willing to make up some cart-only copies, if anyone simply wants the cart for testing purposes and isn't into collecting things.

Cool PM me your email address and I'll send an invoice.

OK, that was quick. There are now only 3 copies left! Get 'em while they're hot!

Ooo, thanks for the shout-out, guys! I haven't had a chance to listen to the podcast in months, but I'll have to do this very soon. FYI folks, there are only 8 copies left. With some up on Ebay, this thing is gonna sell out pretty soon. Order now! Operators are standing by!

Awesome! That means most copies should be in their rightful owners' hands by now, other than a few overseas shipments that always take a fair bit longer. Only 10 copies to go, folks

Got it! And please be patient The house is complete chaos and your order slipped in right after I went to the post office. I hope to get it out in the next couple of days! I look forward to this thing selling out quick. I have an idea for the next cart - an actual, legit game this time - but I need to be on one crazy project at a time.

You guys are awesome! About 10 copies left!

Got your order, and I'll send it out soon!

Resurrecting from the dead... There are now only 5 copies of Desert Bus left. If anyone's been on the fence about it, now's the time. Head over to http://fwgames.ca to order!

Thanks for the confirmation, folks! It's good to see copies make it so quickly to Europe this time. Fewer than 20 copies left - get your orders in now

Invoice sent

Only about 30 copies left! Get them while they're hot! A few people still haven't sent me their email addresses

Cool Can you PM me your name/email address? I received several payments today and I'm not sure who is who.

Done. Could you PM me your email address, for the invoice?

Unfortunately no. Check out http://fwgames.ca/fw-diagnostics-ordering to see what's available. I try to keep it updated when I can. It's current as of today.

They're damned handy, to be honest. The spudger is also nice - and I don't think I've really mentioned this: there are instructions on how to use it, on the back of the color calibration card. I can't take credit for the instructions (and I'm not at home so I don't remember exactly who wrote them - mthompson can refresh my memory here) but they're excellent. Screw-less carts are a pain in the ass.

How do you think I detect the Tutor STIC? Sadly, no snow level. I didn't want to introduce easter eggs into a diagnostics suite. Too many possible side effects.
