Aegis Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Mine arrived today, the mail lady was at the mailbox cluster when I got back from lunch. Thanks for the photo SpiceWare! I'm not going to be opening mine so it's great to see all the contents Have fun with your new game everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aegis Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Lol! Actually, you're now a member of a very exclusive club - the only other sealed games I have are Lucasfilm's 'Labyrinth: The Computer Game' for the C64 on disk, Infocom's 'The Lurking Horror' on 5.25 inch floppy and Cafeman's 'Adventure II' for the 5200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr0st Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 My copy just landed in work. Only had time to open it and have a quick look, but wow, the quality gone into the packaging is amazing. Will have to wait till lunchtime to get a good read through the manual. Also loving the extras! And it will be another eight odd hours before I can actually play it! Damn, that's the downside of getting stuff mailed to work right there... Thanks dudes!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Argh don't remind me, I used to own a cib Boing! which I purchased for £1, the cart was still in its plastic bag too. Biggest mistake selling off my VCS collection in 2004. Actually Boing! Is an excellent game and I think it's the first console game to feature an actual screenshot on the front of its box.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Thanks for the photo SpiceWare! I'm not going to be opening mine so it's great to see all the contents Why didn't you tell us before? Would have saved Al a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Why didn't you tell us before? Would have saved Al a lot of work. 'Cause in a thousand years time when alien archaeologists dig it up, I didn't want there to be a Pac Man cart in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Thanks for the photo SpiceWare! I'm not going to be opening mine so it's great to see all the contents Why didn't you tell us before? Would have saved Al a lot of work. LOL, no kidding. Most of the copies are shipped at this point, and the remainder will go out this week (another 20 or so today). The games have mostly been shipped in the order they were placed. I accidentally unsubscribed from this thread a few days ago and I was wondering why the heck there were no responses! Glad to see many copies have already arrived and people are enjoying the game. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Just wanted to say congrats to Andrew, Thomas and Albert for this incredible release - I was just showing the videos of Boulder Dash to someone in the office that's never even heard of the 2600 - he's just picked up Deus Ex: Human Revolution cheap from Steam and can't understand why I'm more excited by a 28 year-old game running on a 35 year-old console Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapetino Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Got mine today, and it's beautiful! Won't be able to play it until tonight, but how fun. Great work to all! Thanks for putting in the hard work and making this great game happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer4x4 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Glad to see many copies have already arrived and people are enjoying the game. ..Al I like it so far, but I do admit, I haven't tried it yet! I liked the packaging, and artwork, and read a lot of the manual. It has very good info on it. Will it be online on AA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr0st Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Well, I've just had a game and.....my god. Unbelievable. To play BD on the 2600, so flawlessly, is incredible. Everything is there. From the gameplay to the sound. Absolutely amazing. And when I died, the save screen? Fuck. Me. I've been playing the c64 version a lot lately to try and remember and get back used to the levels, and this is just like playing that port. But better. It's on the 2600. Well done all involved. This is truly an amazing feat in gaming history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it be online on AA? hope its not sold online at AA as I thought we bought this as a limited release of 250. As a collectors type of deal. Maybe i am wrong..?

+Nathan Strum Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 It is sold online at AtariAge. It is a limited release of 250. Therefore, when the last copy is gone, there ain't gonna be no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Andrew Davie Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 ...when the last copy is gone, there ain't gonna be no more. Correct. I cannot imagine approving re-release in any form.

Gateway Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hey Albert, PLEASE check your PMs! I moved to another state since December when I ordered Boulderdash. My new address is there, before you ship mine to the wrong place! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is your one and only chance to get this title. I think Pioneer4x4 just meant the manual. Correct, I was wondering if it would be in the AA database including the manual. I think at least the part that chronicles the process of making and getting it approved should be made public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at least the part that chronicles the process of making and getting it approved should be made public. Yes, I have a ton of games to add to the database. I'm working on revamping the backend to make it easier for me (and others!) to do that. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
