Chris Leach Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 does this ship tomorrow? or have they already shipped boxed? thanks for update.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 According to Albert, the boxes were shipped at least a couple weeks back from Germany. Seems to be moving at a snail's pace. For Al's sake, I hope he has tracking+insurance on those boxes. It would be a pity if they didn't show up, or worse: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/209423-us-dept-homeland-security-destroys-shrink-wrapped-games/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The packages usually took at least two weeks to arrive, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'm a bit late to this game as I usually hang out in Jag/Lynx places... I've recently decided I'd like to start buying new aftermarket releases for my 2600. Can I confirm there's a plan to make this game boxed for PAL users? I was totally peaved not to have got the opportunity to get a boxed version but then saw this post about a PAL version. For me it's boxed or not at all. Otherwise is there any plan to have a box scan on AA (as there are for others) for users to make a box for themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkiker2089 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 So people are asking for a 50 run of pal boxed perhaps? Or would less be appropriate? 25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 100 could be safer! I'm in for one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 European collectors are way more likely to ask for boxes than Americans... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Teams Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 How about the option of choosing either a NTSC or a PAL cart, and then the option of adding the box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkiker2089 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 The boxes are gone though, with the idea being that they were limited. If they want PAL boxes it would have to be limited as well or the people who bought the limited NTSC boxes would perhaps feel a little shafted. Then again I bought it without the box so who am I to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The box is essentiall identical to the label. Knock yourself out. No "fakes" please... http://sprybug.devia...Label-336153530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Indeed! It's nice to see the batari BASIC logo on such a wonderful cart! While other classic systems are struggling to get even C toolchains going we have BASIC that helps make games like this! Truly, the Atari 2600 is the platform that CAN. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+craftsmanMIKE Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Been busy getting my butt kicked in 2600HSC, so I took last week off and played PR all week. After a fair amount of gaming, I LOVE IT!!! It just keeps getting better!!! The one thing I was wondering was if there are any "hidden" warp zones? I don't want to know were, just if it's something to look for? GREAT JOB CHRIS!!!!!!

CatPix Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I played on my freshly received Sears (so NTSC system) well apart from the obvious colors that feel a bit better (only a bit, but I guess that even if I have one TV able to receive NTSC-M, they are not meant to receive an old standard full analog NTSC signal. I think I read that in the 80's or 90's, they changed slightly the NTSC norm for better color restitution, so European sets must use that one only. And there is no hue correction available) I felt an improvement in gameplay, with less collision bugs, especially with ennemies. Still it's largely playable on a PAL system.

I hope to top it with Zippy the Porcupine. I didn't include warp zones since there were only 16 levels and I just didn't have the extra space to include something like that. By the time I was done with this game, I think I had less than 1k left available to me in all the banks combined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
