Fred_M Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) Some of you have already heard about this ? ANG The Ultimate Gold Collection is a (legal) compilation cartridge for the Atari XL/XE series. The games on this cartridge are: Draconus (stereo) Fred Inside (English version, PAL only) Johnny the Ghost (stereo and fixed for NTSC) Mines Mission Shark Sh*t! Simple Minds Thinx Whoops Whoops 2 Zybex (stereo) The cartridge will be delivered in a full color box and a 40 page manual. All game manuals have been rewritten and are in correct English. The manual also features the original (A.N.G. Software) artwork of the games and some pictures of the old days. All games are in English. This cartridge is compatible with the following Atari 8-bit computers (with at least 64kB of RAM): 600XL, 800XL, 65XE, 130XE, 800XE, and the XE Game System. I not recommend using this cartridge on older Atari 8-bit computers such as the 400, 800, or the 1200XL. All games on this cartridge were programmed for PAL systems. However, with the exception of ‘Inside’, all games will run on NTSC systems, albeit slightly faster than intended but still playable. A big thank you for helping me creating this product: @ndary for designing the PCB and the cartridge image, @ultrasteve for completely rewriting the manuals of the games (the original manuals were written by non native English speakers like me ?) and Guillermo Fuenzalida for creating a NTSC fix for the game Johnny the Ghost. Also a big thank you to John Maris and @powersoft for giving me permission to use their games on this cartridge. The price of this cartridge is € 24.95 excluding shipping. Shipping costs for each country can be found below. When payment is made with Paypal an additional small charge of € 1.49 is added, but you pay for goods and services. So I will pay for the conversion costs (if not paying in euros) and you are entitled to all safety measures Paypal offers. Payment with European Bank Transfer (IBAN) is free. You can order in the webshop (https://www.rewindgames.com/Atari-shop/XL-XE/ANG-ultimate-gold-collection) or by sending me a private message. Please note: The first batch of The Ultimate Gold Collection is a small batch of 15 pieces. When this product is out of stock you can choose for a full refund (if you have already paid) or you can wait for the next batch. I will contact you when this product is out of stock so you can decide. Shipping costs info (I use real shipping costs, so I don't make any money on shipping!) When you only want to order this product (and nothing else from my webshop) this list shows the costs of The Ultimate Gold Collection cartridge including the shipping costs. All shipping methods include insurance and a tracking code. Zone 1: € 28.85 ( € 24.95 + € 3.90 shipping costs) The Netherlands Zone 2: € 31.45 ( € 24.95 + € 6.50 shipping costs) Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxemburg, Poland, United Kingdom Zone 3: € 36.45 ( € 24.95 + € 11.50 shipping costs) Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden Zone 4: € 41.90 ( € 24.95 + € 16.95 shipping costs) All other countries Please note that I use a webshop to sell my Atari items, because I don't want to use Ebay and Gumtree like sites. I am a private individual and not a commercial company. If you have any questions, please ask ? Edited October 2, 2019 by Fred_M 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrathchild Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Quick query on Reset button handling. Do the titles copy themselves into RAM and then run after switching the cart off? Something like Zybex uses a reset hook to return to the credits screen. Does that behaviour remain or would the cartridge menu kick in?

Fred_M Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) When you press Reset you will get the self test screen. So you have to reboot the computer to select another (or the same) game in the menu. I hope this answers your question Edited October 2, 2019 by Fred_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 One copy for me, please. (Don't need a digital download, since I have most of these titles as disks already.) Will you be at the annual Abbuc meeting (JHV) in a few weeks ? If so, you could hand it to me there (and several other Atarians, I guess) and we both could save some shipping costs... if not, I will pay the shipping costs, no problem... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+davidcalgary29 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Received my copies in the mail today! Thank you (again) to all who made this possible! I think that this is the first game that I've received in a VHS-style box. Great idea: it'll fit on my shelves very nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred_M Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Actually it is a letterbox size (carton) box. I chose this box because it is very sturdy and it fits in an (European) letterbox so the shipping costs (for one piece) are as low as possible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Received mine last week already. Very nice packaging. Didn't dare to rip open the shrink-wrap yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred_M Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 A small number of the second batch are available now (sadly only 4 pieces left). More details in my previous post: There will be a third batch, but that will probably be the last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
