    I am only limited by the money in my pocket lol since I need to pay bills and stuff. Had I started work earlier I could have afforded to get more made. So, my 15 has nothing to do with Dig Dug's 15. I just added how much it costs to produce, looked at how much money I had, and there I was.

     

    I might also have my Skull Island prototype wood cartridge on display.

     

    Will also have some stuff for sale. I think my friend is bringing just about every Nintendo Power and I have some game systems.

    Ature is an action adventure game for the Atari 2600 being released at TooManyGames in limited edition. There will only be 15 copies made, one of which is being given away at the show.

     

    The game comes in a special box that's only being made for the show, along with instruction manuals and labels of course. They all say TooManyGames on them and are hand numbered.

     

    The boxes are modeled after a style called "Taiwan Cooper" which you can see more of them in the AtariAge database here: http://www.atariage.com/label_page.html?LabelID=109

     

    Here's some prototype pictures of the box. Here's the front/side:

    Here's the back, complete with unnecessary dashes and a misspelled word just like it came from Taiwan:

    The game was made by Beoran. You can see more screen shots as well as download a full playable game here:

    This game is NTSC only. Don't PM me to purchase a copy here, as you can only get these at the show. In the future we may release the game as cartridge and label only at a reduced cost if people are interested.

     

    Please note: I can only attend the show either Saturday or Sunday. Once my friend gets back to me on which day is better for him I will update everyone with my status both here and via the TooManyGames website.

    EDIT: FUCK! That doesn't work! I must have first registered the game by playing on PS3 then linking the accounts!

     

    Portal 2 for PC costs $49.99. For the PS3 it's $59.99, but you get a free downloadable copy for PC from Steam!!

     

    You can then turn around and trade the PS3 version back in to GameStop for $24 in credit like I am doing to get another game, or you could just sell it online to lessen the cost you paid.

    I'm doing 15 limited edition copies.

     

    Thanks. I'm gonna make a manual anyway.. lookin around for places to print me an 8 page manual.

     

    How many copies? I have worked in the printing business for years and can get you an "AA" discounted price quote! Price always depends on volume tho!

     

    BTW: I'm in NJ as well

    I purposely inserted unnecessary - dash's on the back of the box and purposely misspelled a word on mine. :)

     

    If Taiwan Coopers had manuals they would be a single B/W printed instruction manual with really bad english and lots of spelling mistakes :D . Something like the Ktel manuals ;)

    Did the Taiwan Cooper games have manuals with them? If so, does anyone have a scan of a manual?

     

    I'm releasing a game early next month at the TooManyGames convention. I made boxes in a Taiwan Cooper style, so I figured maybe I'll make the manuals in the same style.. only I can't find any in the database.

     

    If I can't find any soon I'll just make my own design.

    Just so you guys know I am still alive, and around, just not very much right now.

     

    I'll try to have a status update soon.

     

    I can say this for now, if anyone is going to the TooManyGames convention next month I !might! have the wood prototype with me to show off to people. The wood carver said he needs it for now to get whatever he needs, but then I am free to take it to the show.

     

    I'll have a different game for sale as well that's limited edition. I'm making 15 limited edition versions specially for the show in special show only boxes with manuals. one copy is going to be given away at the show for free.. not sure what they're doing exactly. I'll probably keep one copy and give one to someone on here. The rest will be sold.

    Rob emailed people on his list. I voted for Demon Attack. I think some of the games on that list stink. Everyone has their own opinions I guess.

     

    Adventure for sure. I'm eagerly awaiting Warren Robinett's unpublished manuscript on the making of Adventure!

    I got it for Christmas when it first came out. I played a lot of Gyromite, but I don't think I'd be interested in homebrews and I'll tell you why. I played

    Gyromite without the robot.. just used my hands. I really just wanted to see all the levels. Has anyone mapped them all out? How many are there?

    There's scans of the front and back of a Taiwan Cooper style box. What's on the sides, top and bottom flaps, though?

     

    I'm doing a box design similar to those and don't know what to write on the sides.. just the name? Are those colored bars continued on the sides too? Is anything written on top or bottom flap?

    Click your mouse in game, so it's active.

     

    Use keyboard arrows and follow the arrow to the right where it says "PLAY" then drop down into first level.

     

    This is a fantastic game. Your goal is to survive for 30 seconds.

    How the heck do you get the game to start up?
