Dethfactor Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Howdy Ladies and Gents! It's been a hot minute since I've been on (I've been swamped with work) but I wanted to give you all an update. The last of the proto-boards are in and have been built as a final small set of proto-carts (The only difference is the PCB ). Here's a pic of one of the final proto carts. That being said, I have ordered all the parts and I've gotten word that it all has shipped. Hopefully I'll have more info next week when I hopefully get the PCBs in. Once I verify the PCB lot is good I will open up a cart pre-order page for those of you who are interested. Also to clarify, on the 'limitedness' of the game. We've created a limited number of PCBs/labels for this release because we weren't sure what the reception was going to be and it has honestly floored us with all of your enthusiasm, hence us wanting to take it further with the shirts and boxed versions but once we run out of our supplies that's it. We started with carts because we weren't sure if the interest was there for a boxed version and it's more budget conscious for the title. Here's an updated list: If you've requested a shirt, please note that the shirt hasn't been noted on the list and will be an option available once we do pre-orders for the boxed copies. CART 1. Atari2500Lives 2. kennybrooks 3. mkiker2089 4. BadHornet 5. luciferhalo (possible on price) 6. Necron99 7. ataricolltr 8. toymailman 9. swlovinst 10. swlovinst 11. Blitzwing256 12.

Nognir Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I'm also interested in a boxed edition, but a shirt is not necessary. As far as I can read the t-shirt is only optional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberArcade Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Can you change my cart to a boxed version? Edited September 12, 2013 by UberArcade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFL Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 The more I see the artwork on the cart the more I like it. It's like a Dali-esque take on Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas! Is there a high resolution version of that? I'd love to print up a poster for my new flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superman5 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Hi i just want to know when does the boxed version come out with the tshirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dethfactor Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Hi i just want to know when does the boxed version come out with the tshirt. The boxed copies are still a bit away. Waiting for the shipment of pcbs and initial run of shirts. Once I get them in I'll build out a few dozen carts and begin presale of carts. Once those have shipped well set focus on the boxed versions. I'm estimating late October/mid-Nov but I will know more once we get a few more things in a row from our vendors.

rasch_C Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I'd like to be in for 1 cart if still going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dethfactor Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Just got the production PCBs in and boy are they pretty. Each PCB is golden yellow. Went ahead and assembled and tested one production PCB and it works great! After I get a few more of these built up I'll get the cart order thread started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Those boards look just like a vast expanse of desert sand..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strudders Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Those boards look just like a vast expanse of desert sand..... You mean Alamogordo sand ? That's a bit rude. The games not even out and you're calling it 'landfill' ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkiker2089 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Oooh, carts made from sand where the landfill is, someone should do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyChris Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I didn't think it was possible to make a label that looks worse than Hozer's. This looks like it was cutout with scissors, by a kid with a shaking disease. Not so fast... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
