Albert Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 I just received mine today so finally I can read all the Adventure II threads. I've been avoiding them like the plague so that I wouldn't read any spoilers about what came with the game. It only took 9 days to ship to Canada, which is a lot faster than previous orders; I'm used to slow shipping from the US to Canada anyways. Although I was involved with play testing, I'm still really looking forward to playing the cart in my 5200 instead of sticking in that skinny looking PCB and EPROM. Cheers again to Ron, Albert, and all those involved with this project! Glad your order arrived quickly! I've had mixed results sending packages to Canada. Sometimes they arrive in reasonable fashion (as yours just did), while other times it can take a month for a package to arrive. Perhaps being closer to Canada now helps. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broonale Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Yep. Canadaland shipping is a crap shoot. The only reason I still ship to Canada is everyone there has been very polite and understanding about it!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaDDuck Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 WOW.... a few days old, and still NONE on Ebay yet! VERY impressive! That's what I love/hate about the homebrew market, we tend to hold on to them! WAY COOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 a few days old, and still NONE on Ebay yet! Well, I'll never eBay mine. (I won't eBay anything Atari unless it's something I already have. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDDuck Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 (edited) a few days old, and still NONE on Ebay yet! Well, I'll never eBay mine. (I won't eBay anything Atari unless it's something I already have. ) Good point, but a financial emergency forced me to sell my entire complete Jag library (no HB!) and the retail display with TWO NIB monitors. Tough choice, sell or suffer..... Hmmmmmmmmm............. Edited May 13, 2007 by MaDDuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 For those of you still waiting for your copy of Adventure II, today I shipped the last of the "Limited Edition" copies as well as several of the "Boxed Edition" copies. Tomorrow I will be shipping another 20 or so boxed copies, and then it may be a wait of up to two weeks before I can ship any more, as I ran out of 5200 PCBs and had to order more last week. Unless someone can tell me where I can find one of these: http://multimedia.mmm.com/mws/mediawebserv...s666UZfc7rrrrQ- I need a Long Wire Test Clip, Alloy, 28-Pin, .6 width. Digikey does not stock them, and I have not been able to find them anywhere! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked today that two Jaguar boxed games with confirmation cost $8.15 Oh it basically sucks because I had about 80 orders paid for before Monday that now will cost me, at minimum, 55 cents more each to ship. The two pound rate went up even more--some of those packages cost $1.50 more to mail today. International rates went up also, to say nothing of some of the crazy rules they've implemented. The USPS sucks. There was a line outside the post office this morning. Chaos ensues. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the spacing specs but the one I opened worked fine for EPROMs if that's what you're looking for. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumerNivek Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Dang, did I miss out on this? I haven't been on this site since last June...my fault, obviously! Al, will you guys be back at the Midwest Gaming Classic again this year, and, if so, will you be bringing any Adventure II carts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Got mine on Sat also #167 every thing in side was GREAT Will play more after work tonight Thanks Al for the fast ship and to the others involved a great achievement Mike I'll second that. I was absolutely delighted with the packaging, and have had the most fun with in-game materials since I purchased my last Infocom game (Stationfall) in 1987. You just don't see such attention to detail in games any more, but they sure make a difference in gaming experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Can't wait to get mine. Mine is #250 of the LE ones so I assume it went out a while ago so it should be here anytime now I expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
