Parrothead Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Just kicking off the promo's for an up and coming original Atari 2600 game based on a true story of events that happened in the RetroGamingRoundup booth at Classic Gaming Expo 2010. We, along with the programming wizards here on AtariAge (the creme de la creme) are working hard on having it all completed and for sale this summer. The game will be revealed in beta form this weekend at Magfest and will be playable there. More info about the game, the release date and initial quantities available will be forthcoming.

Chuck D. Head Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Mike, Cant wait to see it! Hopefully I will be able to give a "special" demo for a certain local someone and get their reaction on video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gateway Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Color me intrigued! LOL at "the thief". My initial impression was that the thief was a well-endowed woman with her arms behind her back? Or maybe that is a guy with games stuffed inside his shirt? The plot thickens! Looking forward to hearing the story about this game. Keep up the good work!

Parrothead Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Here is some early gameplay video taking place at Magfest. Everything not finalized in fact many changes have been added/refined as late as yesterday. We are on our 12th build of the game with a few more to go to get everything just right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuFPTqpB0HE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 LOL at "the thief". My initial impression was that the thief was a well-endowed woman with her arms behind her back? Or maybe that is a guy with games stuffed inside his shirt? The plot thickens! One of the theif's real life mannerisms is walking around with his arms folded, as if he had no hands to steal with. But dont be fooled! He should not only steal in the game, but also pick up things from vendor tables and accidently break them like his bull-in-a-china-shop real like pathetic self.

+DZ-Jay Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Impressive! I'm not an Atari guy (please don't hate me), but I will definitely be getting this game. Besides, it's time to check out that System Changer module for the Intellivision. dZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Head's up! We are done with CGE Adventures, the new Atari 2600 game created around live events from Classic Gaming Expo 2010! CGE Adventures is soon to release the first week of April (preorders) and will be shipping in May. CGE Adventures will be for sale initially, exclusively on GameGavel.com! It will be available in few packages: 1) Atari 2600 cartridge, complete with plastic case, instructions AND special "feelies". In addition, the first 69 sold will include a bonus autographed podcast promo CD (signed by the three RetroGamingRoudup hosts) just like the one in the game that was stolen by the "thief". 2) Complete as above + your name listed as a "Supporter" in the manual (limited run) OR 2) A rom copy and digital game manual. Pricing is still being determined based on final costs. But more than likely the complete version will be around $40 +/- (shipped!) and the Rom/manual will be around $10. There will be both NTSC and PAL versions available! Carts will also be sold in the UK during the Revivial and Play Expos AND at the Portland RetroGamingExpo coming up later this year. So there will be plenty opportunities to nab a copy. This will not be a limited run and more can always be made if the demand is there. I will update this thread with the Sales Listing when it goes live. We have put nearly a year of production into this product and hope you will all have as much fun playing it as we all had making it! Viva Las Vegas!

Parrothead Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Is that Keith Robinson in his Burgertime Chefs hat? Good eye! Although, he is Intellivision-The-Great in our game. And the final boss monster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Good eye! Although, he is Intellivision-The-Great in our game. And the final boss monster! LOL! I thought it looked familiar! Nice job.
