Crazy Climber Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I haven't got a notice yet but sounds like they sold like 1000 of them so I'm prepared to wait a little while. No big deal, I waited 10 years for Paprium lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+swlovinist Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) A couple of things: I did an unboxing and gameplay of Circus Convoy on my Facebook page(link in my signature), as well as uploading a recorded interview with Audacity Games this afternoon on my YouTube channel at 4:00 pm Pacific.

alfredtdk Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I really love the work these guys have done in the past. Pitfall and Keystone Kapers are my favorite Atari games. I would love to have this new launch made by this legendary trio. But I will stay on the reserve bench, for now. As my national currency is highly inflated, it does not pay to make such an investment at the moment. Was there any indication that they may also release the digital version for purchase in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Salamon Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Wow... I just checked my tracking info and it looks like I might have the game in time for the long weekend! I didn't expect my Canadian order to arrive so soon! Looking forward to playing this game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, shrinkwrap means nothing, released plenty of sealed ones. Where is the company? A P.O. Box, that is all you need to know really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prizrak Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Got my box today, game is awesome of course but packaging seems lackluster compared to stuff Al puts out here on AA. However, cartridge, label, box and manual are in theme with what a boxed Activision game would be in the 80s.Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I got mine with the patch and the letter. Neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Received the collector version with the patch yesterday. Do we need to do the in game registration process? I thought it was automatically registered when we ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+splendidnut Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 From what I've seen in this thread, I don't think they're shipping things in any kind of order. ADDENDUM: "any kind of specific order"... they might be doing random batches. At the end of the day, it's potentially just David and Garry (2 people) trying to ship ~1000 boxed items. They're a very small company, so it's going to take awhile. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly haven't shipped all 90 of the VIP editions yet. I guess it's either shipped in the order received or random like someone else suggested.

That may be true for the Collectors and VIP editions, which have more stuff to keep track of and bigger boxes to compile, but I think the Standards are going pretty much in order from the posts I’ve seen on Facebook this past week.

I remember selling like a hundred things once between here/ebay/etc all at once....was a nightmare to ship haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeex Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I see an opportunity for Audacity to team up with some of the old masters of Activision's shipping department. ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro Thunder Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I knew I was late to the party anyway...but dang, #2545. So...hard...to...wait! IIRC I thought I was on their mailing list about the game from their old website, and never got notified. I should've been following this forum, dang it. Got my order in on 3/25, now regretting I didn't get a fancier edition, didn't realize with the standard that I don't get a DL code. Ugh. Had a rough week, brain not work right. Fire good? But...this is an amazing project and so glad there's so much excitement for it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hizzy Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I wish Audacity would do more to embrace the homebrew/AA community. I would have liked to see a nod to AA on their site or somehow in the game. Al and the programmers here have kept the torch burning so that Audacity can do what they are doing now. I think of Tod Frye's reaction to DINTAR816's Pacman. His reaction to the quality of Pacman was so earnest, so genuine. Audacity paid some lip service to the homebrew scene on ZPH homebrew video but that was just in passing. I haven't felt much excitement for Circus Convoy because of this. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Innit Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I don't mind the long wait, it takes me right back to the good old days of mail order with a 6-8 weeks delivery time. Adds to the whole experience of getting a new game just like in the 80s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_q_atari Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Very interesting. I got my shipping email notification just now. Label was created in Santa Clara on the 27th. USPS awaiting package. I guess these are being sent out from different locations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+splendidnut Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I'm not sure. They seem to have gone out of their way to try and differentiate themselves via a repeated mantra. But I've yet to see how they really differentiate from what AtariAge is doing. Although they probably don't seek out nor accept submissions of games developed outside the "company". It's all developed "in-house" so-to-speak. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I just got mine! Standard Edition; Haven't opened it yet... I don't recall my number (Standard Edition so really doesn't matter) and can't find the email with it...Strangely I just found the 2 unread emails they sent telling me to confirm my email, LOL...I wonder where those were hiding? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
