RetroGamingRoundup Presents: CGE Adventures, Pre-Order Information

[Parrothead]

Hey all,

 

Hopefully it's cool to make a post here as well as our running post in the Home Brew section. I have seen other home brews listed here for sale so figured it was ok.

 

Here we go . . . . .

 

Head's up! We are done with CGE Adventures, the new Atari 2600 game created around live events from Classic Gaming Expo 2010!

 

CGE Adventures is soon to release the first week of April (preorders) and will be shipping in May. CGE Adventures will be for sale initially, exclusively on GameGavel.com! It will be available in few packages:

 

1) Atari 2600 cartridge, complete with plastic case, instructions AND special "feelies". In addition, the first 69 sold will include a bonus autographed podcast promo CD (signed by the three RetroGamingRoudup hosts) just like the one in the game that was stolen by the "thief".

 

2) Complete as above + your name listed as a "Supporter" in the manual (limited run)

 

OR

 

2) A rom copy and digital game manual.

 

Pricing is still being determined based on final costs. But more than likely the complete version will be around $40 +/- (shipped!) and the Rom/manual will be around $10. There will be both NTSC and PAL versions available! Carts will also be sold in the UK during the Revivial and Play Expos AND at the Portland RetroGamingExpo coming up later this year. So there will be plenty opportunities to nab a copy. This will not be a limited run and more can always be made if the demand is there.

 

I will update this thread with the Sales Listing when it goes live. We have put nearly a year of production into this product and hope you will all have as much fun playing it as we all had making it! Viva Las Vegas!

Is this a batari BASIC game? If so, is there any source that can be released? I'd like to learn from the people who have already walked the path of DPC+

Here is a quick game play vid of the easy setting with predictable item locations. It really is a great bit of programming on Byte's part as the randomness of the custodian really is ingenious. Sometimes he will come at you and steal what you have or drop one item you need for another one you might be carrying. But, other times, he just passes by and doesn't confront you. It's crazy!

 

And, sometimes when you are being chased by one of the podcasters they will follow you from screen to screen, while other times they will reset and not come after you. All seemingly random, but really ads to the challenge of the simple task of simply locating the stack of promo CD's and removing them to freedom outside the CGE Expo hotel. When you do finally locate and grab the CD's the alarm goes off and the screen flashes on and off bright red, which really stresses you out as you run to freedom.

 

I really can't stop playing until I accomplish that task And the ending when you do finally escape with the CD's always brings a smile to my face.

Hmmm maybe the guys in the Intellivision section here would know sometimes they come out of their shells to other parts of AtariAge

Now that we have started shipping our first batch of games AND the rom of CGE Adventures some game play videos are leaking out. Here is a great one by FocusRS which also debuts our own original game song written and performed by The British IBM. Enjoy!

We will have more available after we complete the shipping of our first batch of 150 pre-orders. Once these are all mailed out we will start selling them again on GameGavel and I believe Albert will be selling them here in the AA store as well.
