Dethfactor Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 You still haven't responsed to my PM which I need to pay you additionally for international shipping Sorry about that.

I plan on going up this weekend and I'll get you a that info then. -M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dethfactor Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 List updated. We're going to close up pre-orders next week. Production updates coming very soon. Sorry for the delay, stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dethfactor Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Posting an update as there's been radio silence for far too long. We're working through production but we've hit a few snags and which was holding us up and preventing us making an update. First, a special thanks for Marc Oberhäuser and bfstats for the great box printing and cart inserts. They turned out awesome! Second, we've been fighting with the printers over the manual and the PCB company of our PCB stock, but we've been told we should have both by April 11th, so we're estimating these will ship April 20th after assembly/boxing etc. To tide you over till then, here's some pictures of the awesome boxes: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt2d2 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Wow, really well done! The concept of this game just cracks me up, but can't imagine that I'd sit there for 8 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntavio Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 The box is beautiful!!!!!!! Marc really does great work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dethfactor Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 The boxes are really nice and turned out stunning. I'm really happy my shoddy design work was excelled by Marc's great printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dethfactor Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 As an update, I just got an email yesterday from the manual printers having another issue with the design files (not sure why they waited a week after all the back and forth) so I had to resubmit them which is pushing back the timeline. How far I'm not sure as they were supposed to ship tomorrow and I'm waiting for an ok on the resubmitted file. I'll report back when I know more. Thanks everyone for your patience.

Dethfactor Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Unfortunately, No. I'm still waiting on the manuals. I was promised them this week and they have not been delivered yet. I plan on calling tomorrow and getting to the bottom of it if it magically doesn't arrive. I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks, -M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dethfactor Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Ok so I called Friday and they gave me a tracking # from fed ex because apparently it was picked up Friday. Fedex's tracking system is saying Wednesday they should arrive. I'll post more when/if they arrive and then put together a ship window. Sorry it's been taking so long but I know they're going to turn out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntavio Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Well at least it looks great!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dethfactor Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Finally! After months of back and forth! The ironic thing is the printers claimed to be based in the US but the order came from Germany. Go figure. At any rate, I was hoping to get everything packed and out by the 20th (I need to go out of town for one of my best friend weddings) but all this week my family and I have been overcoming the flu so I'm expecting things won't ship till the end of the month. At any rate were on the home stretch and I apologize profusely for how long it's taken to get this run produced. I promise for the next release things will be better in sync. Thanks for your patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dethfactor Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Just checking in. B how r things looking on a ship date? Looking like things are going to be shipping the first week of June. I need to finish shrinking them and get them packed. All on all I'm thinking they look pretty good and I hope everyone will be happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cvga Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 No oncoming traffic or turns? Nope. Google "desert bus penn and teller" and read about the game. It should help explain things. This isn't a game you want to buy for excitement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Who would want to run an old atari 2600 for 8 hours or more. Wouldn't that be pushing the hardware too hard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dethfactor Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Heh. Nah. The 6502 was a good CPU platform and was the basis for a bunch of game systems. Did your Nintendo ever overheat? These systems generated little in the way of heat compared to consoles today. A simpler system has less points of failure. And the 2600 is pretty bare bones. I imagine it'd take years of consistent run time to kill one. Unless someone here who can chime in with an example. Must of my experience with 2600 failure is with wear items (cords, switches,jacks, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 If the bus is left sitting still for a while does it get reset to the beginning of the run? Power supply gonna get hot running for hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
