Albert Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I've started a thread to keep everyone updated on the production of all the new pre-order games, including Mr. Yo-Yo. I'm also posting photos as items arrive, such as the boxes, manuals, labels, posters, and other items once I've received them! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! ..Al 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveM Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 I should've posted this a week ago right after the broadcast, but things happen, and at least I'm finally getting around to this... Thanks so much to James and Tanya for having me on the show! I had a lot fun, and it was great to finally talk to you live. Naturally, about a minute after I left, I realized that I did forget to mention something about the game, and that is the Easter Eggs. I've mentioned it in this thread, but I'll go ahead and repeat it anyway. The cartridge version contains 2 Easter Eggs that do not appear in the downloadable ROM. I mention how to find one of these Easter Eggs earlier in this thread, but the other one you'll have to find yourself. It's a bit tricky. If anyone finds either of the Easter Eggs, I'd love to know about it! Post a pic of it if you can here in this thread, and how you think you got it, and I'll confirm and explain exactly how they can be found. And if you were kind enough to purchase a copy of the game, or if you just downloaded it and enjoy it, please consider leaving a review of the game in the AA Store. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy2600 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Have an idea for a Mr. Yo-Yo an up coming Atari 2600 homebrew game in a classic 80s Atari commercial stile animation and should be done with it very soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even buying in bulk, I'd have to raise the cost with a yo-yo pack in. 10 hours ago, Atariboy2600 said: Could buy 24 pc for $10 But those are blank yo-yos. Probably cheaply made too. The ones I looked into were custom yo-yos, where they would've printed a Mr. Yo-Yo face on one side, and the AA logo on the other. I forget the specifics, but there was a minimum order of something like 250. Most homebrews sell less than 50 copies, so I'd be stuck with a box of at least 200 yo-yos lying around my house. So, I'd have to charge extra not only for the pack-in yo-yo, but the other yo-yos that would remain in a box in my garage. There's also shipping costs, and the work Albert would have to do to create a larger box that could fit the yo-yo. In the end, even buying in bulk, the costs didn't work. Trust me, I'm a financial analyst. So when I say that I looked into it, I actually did look into it quite thoroughly. But if everyone wants, I'll create a sequel to the game and design a special pack-in yo-yo controller with turbo boost spinner control and a plastic overlay, and I'll jack up the price of the game to $350.

Atariboy2600 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I hear that folks at the Expo like the Mr Yo-Yo commercial I put together. If anyone like to see a smaller file here I upload hope you also enjoy the 4x3 ratio format. 02.mp4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
