TPR Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 This is just an FYI post to let you know that Aztec Challenge for ColecoVision is available. It is being sold via Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/colecovisionmarketplace/posts/5127063310711213/ This is not my game, nor am I involved with the production, the sales, or the distribution in any way, I'm just giving you all the heads up that it is available and posting the link. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+discotronic Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Thanks for the heads up. Do you know if the developer will post something here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumbai Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 ...which would be useful to those who either avoid Facebook or aren't part of a seemingly private Group there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 Like, I said, I have nothing to do with this game. I just saw that it was posted for sale and I'm sharing the link here. That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyzzle Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Right, not even a screenshot or a description? People who intentionally create a private Facebook group and try to sell their products are really missing out on sales, exposure, and good word-of-mouth advertising by doing so. I also do not do Facebook, don't believe in it or its harvesting of my private information. Why people run businessess in this way boggles my mind.

imstarryeyed Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Ooh I loved that game on my commodore. Gotta look into this. If I get some contact info I will share it here for you all non facebookers . I only use it for things like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 FYI - Here is the Facebook Messenger contact for the guy selling it. You can make a FB Messenger account for sending messages without needing to have an actual full blown FB account. Perhaps this is an alternative for those looking to buy a copy but don't want to have a full account? Again, I'm just trying to help here... https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009319286219 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imstarryeyed Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Just to add what TPR said, I just came from there and it looks like only 150 are going to be made and it looks like you will have to contact him to say you are interested. Just sharing my experience and observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 You can also try to contact him at: jmvanrosmalen at home dot nl He says to give him a little time as he's got a lot of orders to sort through, but everyone will get a response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 Chatted with the dude a little more. This is the first homebrew he's done. He's going to make 150 copies total. You can get more details and put your name on the list here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/colecovisionmarketplace/posts/5127063310711213/ or you can email him directly: jmvanrosmalen at home dot nl Apparently he and his friend started working on this game in 2014, got permission from the creator of the original C-64 game, and the finally finished it up this year. That's all the details I've got for you. Hope this helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPR Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 I got in my copy of Aztec Challenge today! At first glance it looks and plays great! Box is really nicely done, even shrink wrapped! I'm on my way out the door so I'll post more about it later, but just wanted to mention that it's here and it looks fantastic!

JEFF31 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Tried twice on the email supplied and got it 'bounced' back as undeliverable. Used "jmvanrosmalen at home dot nl" replacing the "sp"at"sp" with "@" and "sp"dot"sp with "." Did I do something wrong? Would like to get this game.

BrianBeuken Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Jan is making these carts and boxing them by hand and there is a lot of interest, so please don't be too hard on him if he cant respond/send copies by return post. He's really pleased with the response. Its been one of his life ambitions to produce a game like this and he's overjoyed at the positive comments. (quite pleased myself :D) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phattyboombatty Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Looks like a lot of fun. Cool graphics, very old-school style. Reminds me of a combination of Jungle Hunt and Quest for Quintana Roo. @TPR thanks to your promotion of this, I am now interested. I wish homebrewers could promote their products with videos more often, but I understand the one-person effort that goes into this. I appreciate you helping them out! ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
