As a BONUS, any purchase of $200 or more will receive a free copy of Balloon Trip or Sheep It Up!, a $25 value! If your order exceeds $200 (after the 10% sale discount and minus shipping) and you'd like one of these two games, here's how you can get one of them free: Make sure your shopping cart is loaded up with at least $200 worth of fun homebrew games (after the 10% discount and shipping). Complete the checkout process in the store. Make a note in the "Notes" field at the end of the checkout process indicating which game you'd like (Balloon Trip or Sheep It Up!)

+wongojack Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 A Promotion! Very nice job with this and the email. The sale is very well explained, and it is a good incentive for someone to buy some homebrews if they've been sitting on the fence for a while. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceman Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Hi Albert, great timing with the promotion as I was about to do a big order and thanks for sending the email as I unfortunately don't spend enough time on Atariage and miss on things sometime. Just a few questions first: Can I split the order in 2 to get both games or will you still send me both if I order more than $400? Also, as I am in Australia, is there any USA source of pokey chip that would be easier than sending sacrificial games from here? If not, are Ballblazer or Commando PAL cart ok? Would you be able to give me a bit more time to get them organized, shipped here and ship to you? I could split my order to make the POKEY one all together if that makes it easier. Let me know, thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know, thanks. Greetings, If you place a $400+ order, I will include both games for free. No need to split it into two. I initially thought about restricting the free games to one per individual, regardless of amount or number of orders placed, but, hey, I don't want to discourage someone from placing a larger order. One way to get a Ballblazer cart or POKEY to me is to buy one in the US and have it shipped directly to me. Of course, you'd want to check with the seller to make sure they are okay with that first. PAL Ballblazer carts are fine. I have not sacrificed any Commando carts, nor do I want to do so, since that game is rarer than Ballblazer. No rush on getting me the cart, but I would not be able to complete the order until I have it. Another option is to acquire a POKEY chip in Australia, and I could then send you the game and you can install the POKEY yourself (I always socket the POKEY for these games). Then assemble it, and put the labels on yourself as well. A few people have done this, as obviously international shipping is expensive. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoshiChiri Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Well- my question is simple, but perhaps hard to answer. I've barely dipped my toes into the world of modern day Atari... my non-vintage collection consists of Rikki & Vikki/Beef Drop on 7800, and Blinky Goes Up/Swoops on 2600. What do you all recommend to get a $200, and which game should I get for free? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Karl G Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I'll give two less-frequently mentioned recommendations. Hunchy 2 is a great platformer, and Duck Attack is like a greatly-expanded Adventure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many great games that don't get the attention they deserve, and these are two of them! I really love Duck Attack, anyone who likes Adventure should really give it a try. ..Al 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have added a message with it, let me know where to send the Ballblazer carts and I'll do that as soon as I get them (ordered locally). It will probably take a couple of weeks until you get them, so no rush. Looking forward to these games I have been wanting for a long time.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bcombee Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I just made my order for the sale. This bunch of 2600 homebrews came in just over $200 after the 10% off: Assembloids Stay Frosty 2 Wall Jump Ninja Super Cobra Arcade Scramble Space Cactus Canyon I ordered Sheep It Up! for the bonus game after playing the ROM on my Retron 77 and really enjoying it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socrates63 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Hi, Al. I ordered a bunch of games last Friday but forgot to specify the free game. I don't care which of the two I receive but is it too late to include one? My order shows as Pending. Edit -- and since we're sharing, I ordered: Halo 2600 Space Rocks Star Castle Draconian Scramble Dungeon Mappy Super Cobra Looking at the recommendations in this thread, I'll need to pick up a few more in the future.
