PaultheRoman Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 So I'm very new to this community, and I can't really find much information concerning this, so here goes: When will Gradius be available to buy again? Also, will it every be possible to buy the Rom (or pack of roms) the same way that CollectorVision does? Again, just a question, not trying to enrage anyone here. From what I've been able to see, roms are a no no here, but I can't really find out why. Thank you for your patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Yes, we will rerelease next year. Many many request. One thing holding us back was our custom PCB which required programming the game in the factory, which means low volumes were prohibitive. Now we have a new PCB that we can program as required. That makes low runs possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of them like this! $230 I feel is the high end of "I wanted this, so I paid more." I've seen some "out of print" homebrews fetching twice that.

+discotronic Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I have Gradius and Penguin Adventure and love both games. The box and manual are really nice. Probably the best I've seen for any homebrew or large game company. When Gradius is available again I want to pick up another copy for my brother. Will Penguin Adventure get another release?

Master Phruby Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Any chance we will see Pac-man DX be released? I have an old beta that doesn't really work very well on the Phoenix. It would be nice to have the completed version. How about Space Invaders DX, The Maze of Galious and Lady Bug? I know DK is pretty much dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest newsletter states August 2022 for this and other releases that will use the new Super Game Cart PCB due to chip shortages. I do not know if this affects the Color Line series of games which are supplied on older Homebrew Cart PCBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Any news on Gradius? I know the chip shortage screwed everything up, but any chance it will be offered as a digital rom? Penguin Adventure would be cool to have digitally too and be able to use both on the Ultimate SD cart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
