Andromeda Stardust Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Do you display front out or spine though?seeing the top of an atari cart and spine of a box isn't much different as the spine of boxes aren't usually great. Nobody has the wall space to display everything front facing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumi Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone, thanks for all the positive feedback and discussion! As you can probably tell, we didn't plan to make this a boxed release, but I see there's a lot of demand for one. Unfortunately it is a little late in the process to change it up, but as Albert said, a run of boxes (as well as boxes only for people who've already bought the game without one) is something we could definitely explore in the future.

MrBeefy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Good question . Usually just spine. But I see your point. But even then theres more information to see on the box. And with cartridges it appears so small. Its indeed a question of personal taste. My only point which seems to be valid for everyone is: In decades all we really got is the box. Without the box its just a piece of defective cartridge . And the other point: If you take a look at your collection its always cooler to look at the box to get an impressin of the game. And how it was presented to you bac then. But beside that, its indeed a matter of personal taste. My shelves have both and I like both. I do know that with my atari games I was able to cram more on a shelf due to fewer boxes. And if a cart is defective why keep it? Think I've gotten rid of all bad stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were vintage bitd games, they probably used mask ROMs and shouldn't go bad with time. That said, some of my unlicensed stuff that used EPROMs is going on 30 years and still work fine.

With all that box talking it was perhaps not clearly stated from my side how fantastic your game looks like. And as soon as you release the boxed version I will order it for sure.

+sramirez2008 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I can't wait for this game to be available as a cartridge. Reached a personal HS this evening with my newly purchased Flashback Paddle controllers from AtGames. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sramirez2008 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Nice score! What settings did you use? Left difficulty A, right difficulty set to B. Trying to crack 100,000 and then I'll set them both to A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Finally! Difficulty Switch Settings - Left difficulty switch was set to A (obstacles closer together) - Right difficulty switch was set to B (moving obstacles turned off) Love this game. Now its time to set both difficulty switches to A. Edited August 5, 2016 by sramirez2008 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Difficulty Switch Settings - Left difficulty switch was set to A (obstacles closer together) - Right difficulty switch was set to B (moving obstacles turned off) Looks like the switches are reversed. For Atari A means advanced, B = Beginner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangentg Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Saw this on Fb today. I guess I finally saw a gold Atari (like from the cover art of this game) so my life is now complete.

Lumi Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hey everyone, it's been a long time since I posted here, but I just wanted to give an update. Regarding boxes, the plans have changed a bit. Originally this was going to be a cart-only release, but we've decided to make the game a full boxed release from the start! It should be available, boxed or unboxed, in the AtariAge store soon Also, the game debuted at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo this weekend! You can see what the box will look like from this pic: I attended PRGE this year, and the AtariAge booth was huge. There tons of great homebrews on display, way more than I could fit in one photo. I tried out a bunch of them - I wouldn't be able to list all of them since there were so many, but let me tell you, there's a lot of great stuff coming the AA store Thanks to everyone for an amazing experience at PRGE! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Well I'm sure it's not meant to be used What's the sense in owning a system that you can't use? Might as well drill it into the wall at TGI Fridays... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gauauu Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Also, the game debuted at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo this weekend! It was a weird experience watching people at PRGE try to play Drive, pick up the paddles, and not understand how the paddle controller worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Button = gas; circular disk thingy = steering wheel!? That's self-explanatory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I just discovered this game thanks to the random store link that appears on the AA homepage. I'm super excited to try this now. I love analog twitchy driving games! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
