Albert Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 Greetings! Just got back from delivering another 25 packages to the post office, so I figured I'd drop by this thread to give another update. I now have nearly all the pre-order orders shipped. There are about ten outstanding orders, and those will be shipped this evening after I make a few more straggler games. Then it'll be on to the regular orders so I can get all those finished and shipped. Here are some games I built over the weekend: And here are the four bins of games, and two larger boxes, that I dropped off at the post office today: It's nice seeing that people have been receiving their games! ..Al 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 So pleased with these new arrivals! Very grateful to the programmers and, of course, to Al for all the many hours of hard work it took to make these games possible. ? 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Finished shipping the last of the pre-orders last night! These will be going to the post office this morning. Technically there is still one pre-order, but that customer asked me to not ship until early August. Now i get to work on catching up on regular orders, as well as getting free copies of all the new games to the developers. Only then can I take a break! After my break, I will be working on moving the store to completely new software. Really looking forward to that! Also have to get the forum updated to new software, which I'm also looking forward to (lots of cool new features and improvements!) And working on the next round of games to hit the store at the end of August/early September! I hope everyone enjoys the games as they arrive, there's such a great variety of fun titles! And I never cease to be amazed at the incredible talent in this community. From the programmers to those helping with pixel art, sound, and music, to the designers and artists who create the amazing artwork and designs for games, it's truly remarkable the love that goes into these games! Thank you everyone for your patience with this batch of games. It was certainly an experience! ..Al 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Hm, I misread that as a package to the IRS. Pay your taxes in form of Atari hardware/software. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydro Thunder Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 7 hours ago, CPUWIZ said: We have the same exact telescopic cat scratcher. Derailing the thread completely... And back on topic.... So, SO happy with my goodies, will get a pic soon. T:ME Salvo is incredible, I can't believe I just learned about this gem recently. Zoo Keeper and Wizard of Wor are just amazing arcade ports, addictive, smooth as butter, terrific, polished. And speaking of addictive... If you've not played Amoeba Jump, you are missing out on one of the best and most enthralling games I've come across in ages. You may not quite sense the fun factor from watching video of it, but do yourself a huge favor and play this thing (and try to pry yourself away from it, ever!). It's a brilliant, simple, perfectly executed concept. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
