SKELETOR68 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I have my Super Zaxxon waiting here at the house and the wait for my SGM is killing me, (checking email every 6 hours). Looking forward to playing Donkey Kong Arcade, and now Buck Rogers ( SGM). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Well that's the killer app for me. Hands down my favorite CV game, and I can't ever enjoy it like I did back then because of some drive or other not working. YAY! Where the heck have you been Ax? This is old news already! Not to say that I championed the "cause" to get the Buck Rogers Super Game ported to CV format, but I did bug PixelBoy with numerous posts in his threads as well as threatening a couple times to send a "Box of Crap" his way!

Arjak Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I've just received an email from Ed saying that my SGM is ready to ship! I've changed my mind; I'll take it now! I've replied to your email, Ed. Thank you so much for all the hard work you've put in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65Gamerguy Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I have not been contacted about shipping yet. Maybe I was too late for the first run? No big deal if I missed it I can wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_c Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Replied! Now to get a game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 By the way, Eduardo, didn't you say that 10 of the SGMs from the first run were going to be auctioned off on eBay? When is that supposed to happen? In May perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
128Kgames Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 So guess what was literally left on my doorstep as I am leaving for work? If ever there was incentive to play hooky and call out sick, this would have been it. Only had time to open up the box and take one of the SGMs out and marvel at the box and its design (my Wife would say more like "drool" than "marvel" but what does she know? Silly Wife...). Glad I'm off tomorrow but it looks like that lawns not getting mowed till Tuesday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 I have 40 SGMs ready to ship tomorrow.So far I have contacted 140 of 180 pre-orders. Should contact the remaining 40 during this week. I apologize this is taking long, but I am doing the best I can with the available time I have. Out of the 140 pre-orders I have contacted so far, 40 haven't replied yet. I try to contact those again once I have finished going through the whole list. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjak Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I apologize this is taking long, but I am doing the best I can with the available time I have. We appreciate all your hard work, Eduardo. You have made and continue to make the Coleco homebrew scene a far better place. Slow progress, whether in development, manufacturing, or shipping, isn't going to change that. Speaking of shipping, once it hit the post office, my SGM has been travelling like a rocket. It shipped from Massachutsetts on Friday, and it is scheduled to arrive at my place in Wyoming tomorrow. I'm going to have to order some more games for it! Right now, all I have is King's Valley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if you already wrote something about it. Thank you Scalpel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scalpel Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Did you order SECAM version? If its the case, that may explain why ... Yes, I could be better to have a secam version... so, if I understand, I have to wait more months It's ok, I can wait. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoDan Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Yes, I could be better to have a secam version... so, if I understand, I have to wait more months It's ok, I can wait. Thanks! Yeah I know Opcode had stated that he was going to manually change each one of those secam versions after he had shipped the others out. So since he is getting close to finishing I would say he is getting closer to working on yours and whoever else ordered one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Yes, I could be better to have a secam version... so, if I understand, I have to wait more months It's ok, I can wait. Thanks! Actually I haven't contacted you yet, as you are #165 in my list, and I haven't gotten there. Edited April 22, 2013 by opcode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjak Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 My SGM has arrived. I played a little King's Valley to test it, and it seems to be working great! Now I just need to get some more games for it... I'll post what I think about the SGM in the proper thread when I get the chance to spend more time with it on different games. In the meantime though, I am extremely happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghsqb Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hi Eduardo, Just checking in, haven't been contacted yet for my 2 SGMs. If you just haven't gotten to me yet, no problem, just making sure that I wasn't one of the 40 that you tried to contact that didn't get back to you. Thanks, Micky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+swlovinist Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I just wanted to say that my SGM arrived well packaged and looking fantastic. Thanks to Eduardo and all involved with making the project happen. One of two amazing homebrew hardware projects that I am waiting for this year. The SGM has definitely raised the bar on what can be done. Nothing but thumbs up here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Busy and not keeping up I guess. A few months back they said no way, and I was sad but accepted it. "Never say never!", I always say, especially with all the TREMEDOUS people that are involved in the ColecoVision and ADAM Homebrew Scene. Now if something could be worked out with Derrick (AA name Else) to follow up with his ADAM SD Drive and get the ball rolling on mass producing it or at the very least get it into the hands of someone like AtariMax if he'd be willing to complete that endeavor.

moonpatrol Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks Eduardo. Got my two SGMs today. They are beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 So that you guys know, I have contacted everybody in the pre-order list. In case you paid for the module last year and didn't receive my contact email in the last couple of weeks, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
