Waterborn Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I really must have come late to the Kickstarter party, still nothing. Maybe im in the final batch? Wondering the same thing. I know I wasn't the last in line as I sent in my pledge before the original goal was met. Will continue to work to exercise my patience.

solidcorp Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I really must have come late to the Kickstarter party, still nothing. Maybe im in the final batch? You happened to be the very first one in the batch I shipped yesterday. You should receive it very soon. There are only 8 orders left and I'll be getting more shells tomorrow, they will ship next week. Then I'll switch to the next phase of production. Thanks for hangin' in there.

Parrothead Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Got mine today today! Thanks Scott! The flashing white cart is so awesome. My wife even said, "That is so cool!". Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAirhart Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 This game fills me with nerd rage.... Because someone should have put leds in Atari carts 30 yrs ago, it just looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hey guys! Got my game on Saturday! #286 Got the signed transparent cart and CD with extras. It was a long wait, but the quality is top-notch! My favorite feature is, of course, the LED lights flashing in response to action in the gameplay. Definitely a cool feature for Atari homebrew projects. LED enhanced carts I own include: Star Castle 2600 Silver Globetrotter TronMan from Neo Games Happy Holidays from PackRat Videogames - I know there have been others over the years but can't remember specifics at the moment. If Scott's molds are still usuable for future homebrews then more LED enhanced projects will be welcome! Thanks, Scott! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophretard Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 This game fills me with nerd rage.... Because someone should have put leds in Atari carts 30 yrs ago, it just looks awesome. They would have been too expensive 30 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidcorp Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I just shipped the last of the Kickstarter orders. Here are the last eight at the post office 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thanks for everything Scott! I hope you decide to do something Atari-related again in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterborn Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 So what exactly did I do to piss you off, thus apparently ending up in the lot of the last eight to be shipped? I feel like a curmudgeon saying this, but this damn game better live up to the hype. If it does, I will gladly make a post to that effect, apologizing for both my impertinence and impatience.

Gateway Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) @Waterborn: As a comparison, I just looked at my email records and I submitted my kickstarter pledge on May 21st. The campaign ended on May 24th, so I was one of the last pledges. I got my copy this past Saturday. Do you recall what day you made your pledge? FWIW, I can see the craftsmanship that Scott put into my cartridge. The fact that it has been hand-made adds some extra value to it, in my opinion. EDIT: Just wanted to clarify my above post is in no way intended as a slight to Albert, CPUWIZ, GoodDeal Games, or anybody else who makes "hand made" homebrews, hacks, etc. All of your efforts are appreciated as well. I am mainly referring to Scott making the carts with a mold, adding LEDs one by one, and all that that entails, though I know Scott is not the only homebrewer that has built molds.. I better stop there or risk putting my foot in my mouth if I keep typing Edited February 12, 2013 by Gateway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterborn Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hey RP, thanks, I know I am just being crabby. I am certain that the game is worth the wait based on all the reports that have come in. I appreciate the work that Scott and all the home brewers put into their games. Just REALLY want to play Star Castle on my 2600! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thanks for everything Scott! I hope you decide to do something Atari-related again in the future. The last e-mail he sent to all of us talked about looking forward to some more 2600 news in the coming weeks. Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The orders were shipped by availability (downloads & CD's first) then by pledge price category, and by order date within each category. You ordered yours at 7:53am on May 21, 2012, four days before the end of the campaign and your order was 27th from last; it shipped a week ago Monday. Someone had to be last, and believe me, no one wishes more than I do that I could have shipped them all by the end of July as planned. You should have yours very soon and I hope you enjoy it! I think you will. D. Scott Williamson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterborn Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Scott, once again I am just being grumpy because I want to play too. I am currently buried under about 3' of snow here in New England and could use a distraction from the shoveling and fall on my arse. No offense intended. I am certain the game will rock, once it does arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Took me forever to read through this epic thread. I loaded CD-W's RC1 ROM on my Harmony cart earlier tonight. It took me a few tries to blow up the star, but once you get used to the controls, the action can get pretty intense. I noticed they have the permanent scoreboard feature exactly like in Chetiry. I can't wait to get a homebrew version (with Melody board) so my high scores will be permanent... I'm sorry I missed out on SolidCorp's version but those LEDs and clear shells are freaking awesome! One thing I noticed in the thread is people are talking about their gameplay experiences but not mentioning which game they have. This game fills me with nerd rage.... Because someone should have put leds in Atari carts 30 yrs ago, it just looks awesome. They would have been too expensive 30 years ago. Not to mention the fact that blue & white LEDs as we know them today simply didn't exist in the 1970s. For about two decades, LEDs were basically limited to red, yellow, and lime green. High intensity blue LEDs were not invented until 1993 by the Japanese firm Nichia. Because all LEDs emit monocolor light, a white LED is simply a blue LED with a yellow phosphor.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I loaded CD-W's RC1 ROM on my Harmony cart earlier tonight. I took over development from Chris, so the latest ROM can be downloaded here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
