I truly love Out Run. This was the very first game I ever bought for my 1040STFM in 1989. Still have it and even the receipt.

I am seeing your point. But what else can loyal fans do then to provide financial support. Maybe you can think of creative ways what people can do else. You know (I guess you remember) that I personally made huge efforts to bring back the iconic OIDS. It costs me more than $1000 to set up all the old hardware and retrieve the data tapes (!) the source codes and graphics etc. were stored on. Not to talk about the dozends of hours and months to gain all the necessary information. It also revealed loads of files of Dungeon Master (Carl now has all the stuff, I hope he will do something with it). I´d rather look at the support of loyalists then to think about thieves who have no appreciation for what they are doing. After all efforts like this, whether any of your original games or conversions to the Jag, are additions to video gaming history.

Even though piracy is a problem there are still ways to ensure that a release is worthwhile for the developers. I would personally always support such releases financially by buying / preordering the game or even pay more to help funding it. Not releasing it because of unauthorized copying is a bit like staying home because of dangers lurking in the streets. Even though I own a Jag CD I still buy physical releases for the sake of supporting the retro gaming community and because physical games are just a wonderful thing to have. I know people who copy every game just to store it and never play it. Are these the people who we want to care about?

So wonderful. Massive thanks to you! Merry Christmas!!!

Update on shipping: I cannot edit the initial post anymore, but I have found a cheaper way of shipping the box. Here are the prices: Germany: 12,90 EUR Poland: 29,50 EUR France: 29,50 EUR USA: 29,50 EUR UK: 23,50 EUR

I always found that my otherwise complete Falcon system was incomplete without the original box. Until now, I used an old 1040ST cardboard box to store it. Robert Tercsi ("Robson") made a print template for the box a few years ago and had some packaging printed. After consulting with Robert, and after a long search, I found a printing company that could give us a faithful reproduction of the cardboard. Here on the pictures you can see the result. As you may know, a Spanish company also offers prints. But you have to cut them out yourself. In addition, the quality is said to be not very good (I did not check them, maybe it is!). Anyway, these boxes I had printed are ready punched, glued and embossed and can be assembled in seconds. Due to the small quantity and the increased production costs, they are not quite cheap. Still, I'm glad to finally have a cardboard box for my Falcon. If someone wants one: Each box costs 45 EUR (only the box, no styros). Postage for a package has to be added. The box will be well protected with thick packing paper. Cost for shipping: I calculate with https://www.transglobalexpress.de/quote/quote/ and the result for shipping is FLAT or assembled as BOX: FLAT: parcel in dimensions 80x80x3cm: 18,29 EUR for shipping within Germany, 25,91 EUR for shipping to UK, 15,24 EUR for shipping to France, 19,95 EUR to Poland, 67,07 EUR to USA. BOX: parcel in dimensions 60x25x45cm: 10,35 EUR for shipping within Germany, 33,84 EUR for shipping to UK, 20,15 EUR for shipping to France, 26,44 EUR to Poland, 130,40 EUR to USA. These are only examples. I will gladly calculate individually, but please don't forget that the flat package is quite big. Please DM if you want one (the Falcon and any accessories are of course not included).

LR just released American Hero for various platforms. I ordered it. So LR Games would be a great partner. I ordered my copy for the PS4. Of course I would order a second copy if it came out for the Jag. But yes, I am a fan of LRG and their efforts and would appreciate if they could be involved.

I thought so, but wasn´t somebody going to release it? I recall that someone posted that it was finished and even in a gold master state?

I missed out on recent developments a bit due to loads of work. Are there any news on new ports? Also, I just read the comment on Commando. The version I downloaded ages ago didn´t seem to work on a skunkboard and also not on a GD drive. Tried several versions of the file but none work. Is it correct that Commando does not work on a GD? I sold my Skunk-board 2 years ago though because the GD seemed to provide more flexibility. But it still bugs me that I wasn´t able to get it up and running.

Hi everyone, is there any news on Soul Star?

I found NOS Atari Falcon keyboards in storage. Never used. I opened one up and it is as clean as if it fell from the belts of the factory. I am adding pictures. So if anyone wants to replace his old Falcon keyboard with a new one (UK layout) or wants to beef up his stock ST, drop me a line. Price is (incl. worldwide registered shipping) 119 EUR. Hopefully no further restrictions of postal services due to "pandemic reasons" will be applied later this year. Please note: At first sight I found two and offered them in the Atari Jaguar section. Being surprised about the interest I had another look and found some more (the German keyboard is not for sale. I need this one). Please send me a PM if you are interested. Enjoy your days! Stefan

Robocop 3 for the Jag would be awesome. As would be EPIC - both were programmed and designed by DID who brought 3D gaming on stock STs to new heights IMO. btw way I found two NOS Atari Falcon keyboards in storage. Never used. I opened one up and it as clean as if it fell from the belts of the factory. I am adding pictures. So if anyone wants to replace his old Falcon keyboard with a new one (UK layout) or wants to beef up his stock ST, drop me a line. Later I will offer them in a dedicated thread here on AA. I haven´t made up my mind about the price, yet. Might be able to ship them worldwide registered for 119 EUR (incl. shipping). Hopefully no further restrictions of postal services will be applied later this year.

Incredible!!!!!!!!!! You are so fantastic!

Hi there, as a long time collector and researcher of everything Arcadia I would also like to drop in some questions but I need some more days as I am dead busy. Is the any date set when you want to talk to Mr. Scott? I need to read through all this anyways. Cheers Stefan

Check whether you need the PAL or NTSC-version
