Zoyx Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Permission to start drooling and getting excited! Granted. ..Al Should be "Cancel or Allow". ...A little Vista humor there... I should probably do my pre-order now... so I can get into the first batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 At this point some pre-orders are months and months old, so "first batch" is probably every last one Al makes. Eagerly awaiting mine as one of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 They're shipping?!? Of course, my 5200 is in storage as well. It'll probably be next Sept. or November before I have it all set up at the new place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scihorror Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) I am starting work this week on physical production of the game (that is, making cartridges). It will be soon now. ..Al Since this has got to be the most anticipated homebrew release, it might be a good idea to take a couple of quick photos during the production for historical purposes. Cafeman's website gives a detailed account of the actual programming, and I think it would be interesting to detail what goes on from a production side as well. Just a thought... -Ron Edited February 24, 2007 by Scihorror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 5 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 So for idiots like me that ordered it... ohhhhh... today.. what kind of time frame am I looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hat Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Could this be the first game to be considered "retro" at it's release date???... Time to dust off the 5200 and make sure the controllers work. Almost as much anticipation as when I first got Pacman for the 2600. Although I know the disappointment factor after turning it on for the first time will never be what I experienced with Pacman. My parents said I had too many carts already and bet I couldn't even remember every game I had so why did I need another. So I memorized all my carts (30 or so) and within an hour shouted off every game I owned. Never did tell them about the whole disppointment thing. My dad did say "Well that doesn't look the same" and of course I had let him know it was "just as fun though..." yeah right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 So for idiots like me that ordered it... ohhhhh... today.. what kind of time frame am I looking at? End of the month shipment for the pre-orders. Don't know if you were lumped in with the pre-orders. Looks like I made it under the wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
