[8Bitjunkie]

Nice looking boxes/cases...

 

thank you. i like them too

 

big full color cardboard box

green atari disk (well, only mine is red)

50 page manual with big "making of part", full glossy color and hard cover

bonus CD with sung title track (video and mp3), 2 and a half hour of making of videos, story board, level editor, pictures, and so on...

(this is available today, limited to 50 pieces numbered on hologram, but only in german language.)

 

and, "when it's done" - a 8MBit cart with green housing...

 

i wish, the amiga Version had such a package in 1993...

OK, this all looks quite nice too. But judging from the other picture that I commented on, the case looked like it was made from hard, shiny plastic. That photo must be of some "virtual" case design, I assume?

yes, that was a rendering image made before the linen-covered cardboard boxes were printed, so it is no photo...

Thomas, "making of" is very interesting.

Will you translate it in English? Please!

Alright, still quite nice though. They look much more sturdy than the typical thin construction ones, with the fold in flaps (the kind that are just waiting to be crushed).

they are! you can put a two liter coke bottle on top of it without even bending the cardboard box - it's made in Germany

well, if the 50 "german" Deluxe boxes are sold out, and then, if there is further demand, there might be a budget "international" ( = english) box with complete english text (only the videos would still be german but with english subtitles) ... and it would be nice to have the NTSC Version ready then

 

But i don't know how big demand is / will be...

This is just the kind of technical specification I'm looking for.

Well, I sure hope you will ship the German edition overseas. I have a PAL setup for such things and I need one of these.

Sure - why not? Please tell me your address (via pn) so i can calculate the price for shipping ...

I'ld also want to know if that coke bottle was full, empty or somewhere inbetween.

:-D i find your lack of faith disturbing, Mathy

[Mathy]

Hello Thomas

 

I love the black stuff myself. But it's got one disadvantage. It's taste is exponential to how much is still in the bottle. So I know how hard it is to leave a cold, unopened bottle of Coke unopened.

 

Sincerely

 

Mathy (who dislikes the two liter bottle, because it takes too long to empty it. The taste is gone long before the bottle is empty)

Mathy, this one is for you

i am just working on my audio converter routine for the intro sequence with digitized speech.
i use the title track to check the quality for different parameters.

Although the title track will not be included on the cart itself (to less memory space, but the song is on the bonus CD in mp3 format)
maybe you wanna have a look to this frog party...

This is the Atari 80 pixel / 9 color mode with animation and 15.6 KHz 4 Bit audio samples...

ELEKTROFISH feat. Andreas Stitz : " Dimo`s Quest"

Kleiner Frosch, bestehe in der Welt
auch wenn der Froschkönig nichts von Dir hält.

Sammle fleissig Alles Süsse ein.
Hol Dir die Prinzessin und mach Sie Dein.
Setz Dich durch und sei kein Lurch.
Sei kein Frosch sondern ein Mann,
und zeig dem König was ein Frosch so Alles kann.

 

Folg der Idee von deiner Fee und trink beim alten König Tee.
Bitte Ihn um Dori`s Hand und hol Dir Never Ever Land.
Mensch Dimo, bald fährst Du Limo zum Altar!
König Grünfuß lacht, Oh je, schickt Dich los fürs Praliné.
Sieh Dich vor sonst ist`s vorbei mit der Süßkramholerei!
Mensch Dimo, vom Frosch zum Superstar, Oh ja!

[8Bitjunkie]

Whenever I think: "It's perfect"
then pixelartist Mario130XE shows up with a new version!

 

i love it!

Hello Thomas,

I really would love to own one of those nice cartridges, which was a good reason to finally register here on AtariAge.

But I'm not sure I quite understand exactly how this Limited Edition thing works. The 50 (German) boxes include the disk and the cart versions? Or is the cart edition sold seperately when it's finished?

Cartridge edition will have deluxe box and bonus CD, 50 page manual Hardcover?

a) box sets are always with disk and without cart - regardless if box is deluxe or budget, english or german language.

 

b) cart ist always sold seperatly = just the green module shown in picture above, without box.

 

so, you may buy the cart in future and you may buy the preferred box now (or later, if still available)

Thanks.

So, I need a deluxe box + cart!

Please reserve one deluxe box for me and please send me a PM with payment instructions.

[José Pereira]

Ok and thanks.

I, sadly, don't have a real machine and I'm also very bad on finances but maybe this question would help others to decide:

"Would it has inside the box space for the cart?"

Only asking because it seems there will be many papers inside. It maybe nice that people could put also the cart inside and have all together.

Great Marvelous work!...

[Captain Past]

Thanks for the explanation and for the welcome, Thomas.

Dimo's Quest is a great game. I check a certain online auction site from time to time for the Amiga (and MS DOS) version, but those seem to be really rare.

The Limited Edition looks really nice. I'm just a little undecided if I can afford it right now.

Regards,

Jan
