+Gemintronic Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Upp! for the Atari 2600 has been released! It can be picked up on Etsy here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Gemintronic Copies #4 - #19 are still available. I tried to keep costs down at $29.95 with shipping (within US). Please hit the "Contact Shop Owner" button if International shipping is needed. Please understand International shipping is a special case and delivery is only as good as service to that country. Included is a clear plastic case, cartridge and a single printed sheet for instructions. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Donated and purchased a rom copy. Props to a nice playing game. That means a LOT to me. I'm working full time indie/homebrew now and your support literally determines how far I can go. Thank you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really outdid yourself and should be proud,this is a nice game! Hope you gain good sales from this. Its old school fun for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 The laser blast that comes up from the ground is an arse bandit. It gets even worse setting the difficulty switch (either one) in that it will track your last position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impaler_26 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Congrats on the cart release! I bought the ROM at itch.io, i wish more people would put up their 2600 Homebrews there. Just gave the game a whirl and it's fun to play, actually better than i expected once i got the hang of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they sold out? Edit: Found them. Sorry. All sold out. Number #2 out of #20 is on eBay. But, I'd suggest going for the digital download on Itch.io http://theloon.itch.io/upp UPDATE: Carl Williams did a write up of Upp! here: http://retrogamingmagazine.com/2016/01/11/upp-homebrew-released-for-atari-2600/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 This was not only my first time publishing a game, but also an experiment. I wanted to know if people would except a 'brew with minimal packaging if the game and price were good. Pretty sure the answer is YES. That means I will definitely make more for the next game 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperboy Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I received my copy today and I am really digging the packaging, the only thing I would do is add the game name to the spine. Great job loon!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Just received mine about 20 minutes ago!! Damn that was lightning fast shipping! Can't wait to see more future homebrews done. Thank you again Loon! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bfstats Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Damn, Loon. I was monitoring the "Interest" thread, and I ALWAYS monitor the Marketplace - where this thread belongs - so I missed out. Congrats on the sale and keep up the good work, but please put your next game (or more of this one) in the Marketplace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+bfstats Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'm speechless... There some serious collectors out there. I figure that bid was based on the presumption that this was the last copy EVER. Since it's "original" price was $29.95, I would not have bid over $30. Still waiting to hear from theloon about his take on this, specifically are there plans to make more (I'd happily pay $50 for it in a REAL box AND provide the cart inserts) and what he has to say about the eBay copy selling for $360. So, what about it, Loon? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 When watching the video of the gameplay, it looks like the laser is sometimes created to far to the left (like at 0:15, 0:22 and 2:20). At 0:40 the player even gets tagged by this bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
