Atarifever Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 ARGGGHH! Just when I'm broke. Oh don't worry, I just ordered one. Let's just say my fiancee is now owed many, many foot rubs and shopping trips where I hold her purse while she tries stuff on. Also I owe her the money I guess.

Lord Helmet Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 For those of you who were waiting for the 7800 version of Beef Drop, I have added it back to the AtariAge Store. This is the numbered version that includes the POKEY chip (for better sound), and I doubt too many more of these are going to be made given the limited availability of carts with POKEYs to sacrifice for this purpose. You can find it in the store here: AtariAge Store: Beef Drop 7800 ..Al Damn cool, I ordered right now... santa simon would also interest me Santa Simon was a holiday only special edition cart. I don't think you'll se it in the store again any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jboypacman Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Atarifever,BeefDrop for the 7800 is well worth rubbing your fiancee's feet and holding her purse while she shops. Heck,she might even want to play it when she finds out how much fun it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck,she might even want to play it when she finds out how much fun it is. I think she would like this game actually. She watched me play so much Galaga she gave it some time herself, and I think Beef Drop has a cuteness to it she'd find much more appealing than Galaga.

jboypacman Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I took my copy of BeefDrop over to my friend Dalum's house and his wife knew it was "BurgerTime"right from the get go and loved it and his daughter thought it was the greatest thing ever.

It may not be right away, but I'm sure more will be built at some point in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+-^CrossBow^- Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Does this version include a pokey or not? I was really only interested in the version of Beef Drop with the Pokey. It is made so we can add the pokey if need be? Just curious as I really don't have the funds for this right now, but that is why Mistress Visa exists sometimes.

8th lutz Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Does this version include a pokey or not? . Yes, there is a pockey chip included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Beard Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Yep, this cart made me break a promise to my wife not to buy any more homebrews for a while. Luckily, she loves Burgertime, so I should escape her wrath. I just couldn't resist. No self control and all that. But if I suddenly disappear from the forums, you'll know it was foul play.

shadow460 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Well, this cart has made me spend money almost impulsively...I have a demo version that was made into a cart. I have "Burger Time" labels on it. Soon I will have a Beef Drop game to go with my BurgerTime game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Hey, I brain farted when I placed the order, and I didn't write down the address where I'm supposed to send the money order. Isn't it the same as the "Contact Us" address? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubersaurus Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Why don't they just start selling them sans POKEY? It's not like the TIA sound is so awful that it ruins the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Well...I remember testing the builds of this with TIA only. And I couldnt' stand the off key notes that it would play. It was still better than what Mattel put out originally sound wise, but still. I would rather it have a Pokey in it, or could be sold without the pokey and be made so you could add one in later. Course, then the label would have to get hosed up somehow...just can't win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course, then the label would have to get hosed up somehow...just can't win. The boards are ballblazer boards with ROM removed and replaced. Creating an add-your-own-pokey cart would require creating a new pcb, since removing the pokey from the existing boards is more work then removing the ROMS. New Ballblazer carts are also cheaper usually than pokey chips. If a TIA version were released, I would probably want a different label or something to distinguish it from pokey carts since otherwise it would be hard to tell without plugging it in. Maybe a VE value edition or something. It would probably only be around $5 or so cheaper. --Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
