108 Stars #26 Posted March 10, 2015 PM and email sent. Might be wise to limit this to one per person. I dunno. Generally, I am all for that, because I hate resellers. But then again, Alpine Games is a game a good portion of Lynx fans own already, so it is likely in Duranik's best interest to actually get the minimum number of pre-orders so that the print run can happen at all. Better have enough pre-orders with a few resellers ordering multiple copies than falling short of the minimum requirement. I still think it should be safe to assume the game reaches the required numbers though. There has been quite a few people joining (and probably some leaving) the Lynx scene since the game was released, and it is new to them. I myself haven't got a copy yet.

BadPricey #27 Posted March 10, 2015 It looks amazing. Let's hope we hit the numbers required. If I have to buy 2 to make sure I get 1 I'd definitely do that! Email sent. BadPricey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clint Thompson #28 Posted March 10, 2015 I don't understand the whole limit one copy per person deal but if that's what it comes down to then it's whatever... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duranik #29 Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks for all the support. We didn´t expect such a good response and that many orders. The Lynx and Atari community still seems very strong after all those years. I don't understand the whole limit one copy per person deal but if that's what it comes down to then it's whatever... There is no limit at the moment, if someone wants to order more for his friends or to save postage thats fine. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't understand the whole limit one copy per person deal but if that's what it comes down to then it's whatever... I should elaborate: it really pisses me off to no end when people (resellers) buy Limited Edition runs of a game only to resell it straight away and taking the (limited) chance away from someone who will appreciate it - not if there is enough to go around (ie. non limited run). Personally always happy for more collectors/gamers to get more especially if it helps the release as well as the devs/publishers make some extra coin There is no limit at the moment, if someone wants to order more for his friends or to save postage thats fine. That's great to hear! I've already been contacted by a few people to see about getting a bulk delivery to Australia in order to save on über pricey postage costs. By the way, is there a time limit/cut off date for the pre-orders? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
108 Stars #31 Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) I totally agree that the scalpers suck. It is just sadly a necessity for homebrews to Limit the release to some degree; meaning a Minimum number of Units must be manufactured at one time to make it feasible. And you cannot manufacture a huge quantity either, because since most homebrewers are private persons, they would have to pay up front and Keep the stuff in storage at their homes. Imagine you produce 500 Cards but it ends up selling only 100... Edited March 11, 2015 by 108 Stars Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadPricey #32 Posted March 11, 2015 Initially I thought somebody wanted help on the game from the title used. I didn't read it for a few days. Can someone alter the title so that it reads something like Alpine Games - Reserve your copy now - final production run. Rgds BadPricey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intymike #33 Posted March 11, 2015 E-mail sent. Even as I own the original release, the new box is to tempting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaztee #34 Posted March 11, 2015 Missed out on previous runs, so sent my email when I saw this this morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GadgetUK #35 Posted March 11, 2015 Also sent an email! Can't beat that Duranik goodness =). Thanks 108 Stars for letting me know! I've also ordered Sturmwind - oh yes!!! All the great things happening on Lynx and Dreamcast recently. On a seperate but similar note, the Pier Solar (108 Stars helped on that game gfx) reprints are shipping now, and I think it's coming to Dreamcast soon also. Back to Alipne Games - great news, can't wait!!!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guitari #40 Posted March 26, 2015 Just acquired the alpine games bonus cart. This is a seriously nice connectors item.especially with the mcwill mod. A re run of this in the new design would be marvellous But probably unlikely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duranik #42 Posted March 26, 2015 Just acquired the alpine games bonus cart. This is a seriously nice connectors item.especially with the mcwill mod. A re run of this in the new design would be marvellous But probably unlikely. Yes its possible to also get the bonus cart, we ask everyone who preordered if he wants to add a bonus cart when we are ready to ship. The preorder is closed on 15. April, so if you still want Alpine Games, now is the right time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guitari #43 Posted March 26, 2015 Excellent. I have registered my interest in the new alpine games. Will the new bonus cart have a new design too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duranik #44 Posted March 27, 2015 Excellent. I have registered my interest in the new alpine games. Will the new bonus cart have a new design too? Most likely it will have the new design but we have to verify this with our cart producer first. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

omf #49 Posted April 9, 2015 hope everyone who has ordered is happy with the game i myself did not order a copy, only because i am not a sports fan, if it had been another type of game i would have ordered right away also another consideration didn't this flicker on mcwills replacement screen mod? which i have installed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
