My one complaint and maybe it was because I was unlucky but I was stuck with cursed gear the whole game. Was never able to remove them. Also only got negative identify scrolls so have no idea what some of the gear was that I couldn’t use. Not that I could equip it because of the cursed gear. Make sure you have plenty of time. That was a couple hours of play on easy with no way to save. How would you rate the game overall after playing for a short time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back to it today on normal and played for 3 floors before turning it off because I just didn’t have the hours to put into it today. It does make you want to go down just one more floor and see what waits for you. In several hours of play I still haven’t seen a way to identify an ??? object without equipping it which is risky due to the curse effect. And I have not found a way to remove a cursed object once equipped. I’m noticing a screen glitch when I move left on Normal difficulty today. Need to see if I can replicate it. Was playing on original Intellivision. Will try on the Intellivision 2. Doesn’t affect gameplay but was a little annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxivision Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I didn't order tracking, but I received Maria today. The outer box was badly damaged, but the game was fine, due to a superb inner packaging effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are images of the glitch. Replicated on original and Intellivision 2. Only on Normal difficulty. Easy does not show the flicker. And only when I move left. The extra walls flicker onto the screen with every step left. Like everything is pushed down one row of tiles. I still think It’s a good game. Edited February 11, 2020 by Sinjinhawke Deleted movie. It wasn’t playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colormesticky Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Did I get the 2/3 evil edition? Sweet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdoerty Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Mine has finally arrived in the United States and/or passed through Customs. So it should be arriving soon (fingers crossed). Interesting that LaPoste says it will require a signature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poconojo Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Checked my email this morning and my item has shipped. Starting out to be a good day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanuki Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Indeed, all the postal parcels are now shipped and with good lithophanes inside ^^. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanuki Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Now we are done with shipping let's talk about a new version of Maria. We've received a few emails from people who want to buy the game but we have a problem: the standard version of Maria is limited to 92 copies! We'll not produce any new copy as it's important for us to respect all the gamers who trusted us but we want to allow everybody to buy the game. Here is a solution we want to offer but we need your feedback! Please comment and tell us what you think about it as first-time buyer or "newcomers" Thanks. -The new version will not be limited. We will offer a "budget edition" but of quality, even if very simple. -the game will come in a 16x11x2CM box. -The box will not be printed, the front and back will be printed on a high-quality sticker. -the illustration of the front will be different from the standard edition. -The cart will come with a new label. -We will replace the manual by a series of small illustrated cards. -The making-of will remain exclusive to the standard version. -In the box, we'll put foams to wedge the content. All these specificities will allow us to publish the game for 25€ ►less than 28US$. LET'S US BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT THIS VERSION: We'll not publish this kind of reprints each time. If we can offer this here, it's only because we've sold enough copies of the standard version. We have to thanks the first buyers so please believe us when we say your feedback is important for us! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoJoe Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 What about a Rom version? Even one that is tied to the LTO to avoid piracy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanuki Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 We are not against ROM but to be honest we are old-and-stupid-boxed-versions-lovers ? But we'll consider these rom versions 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Steve Jones Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Sounds good, how much does it cost you to make the smaller box and the stickers? Standard Intellivision boxes can be printed in Germany for quite reasonable cost if you order more than 50. I can send you the template to design them. PM me for more info if you are interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cjherr Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I purchased Maria (outstanding game!) and I believe you should go ahead and create your new edition so more people can enjoy the game you all put so much time and effort into. In addition, I would like to put in another vote for LTO Flash! keyed ROM sales. I would be happy to purchase a ROM as well as the game, simply because I enjoy having my library available without having to remove and replace cartridges. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is on its way. I agree that all these games coming out today should have roms available for the LTO flash.Not everyone collects hard copies of games. It would be a shame if only a few people would be able to play these new games. Edited February 12, 2020 by poconojo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinjinhawke Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I also would buy the ROM even though I finished the game. I say if you can make money do what you want, get the game into more hands. Though some people may feel the need to buy it again for the box variant. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 If you're going to smaller version. I suggest the bare minimum having the manual, the smaller size poster map, 1 overlay and cartridge. Atariage comes with the cartridge and manual minimum. I absolutely love the manual for Muncher Mouse so I want to experience the full manual of Maria.
