adamchevy Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Will this be available to purchase for Christmas? The misses is making her list and I would like to add this one to it! Even if it arrives after, it would be a great addition to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The misses is making her list and I would like to add this one to it! It may be available for purchase before Christmas, but definitely won't be shipped in time for Christmas. I'm waiting to add all the new 2600, 5200, and 7800 games to the store until we have our new 7800 boards in production. We have three new 7800 boards that (optionally) have the HOKEY chip on them, used by several of the new 7800 games. I could add the other games now, but many people purchase games across systems, and in particular, many people who buy 7800 games also purchase 2600 games (since the 7800 can play 2600 games). Not an ideal situation. I might just add the new games to the store sooner than later, with a note that any orders that include Pac-Man 40th, Keystone Koppers, and/or Attack of the PETSCII Robots will be delayed until I have these new boards in hand. ..Al 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keystone Koppers and Attack of the PETSCII Robots use boards with an integrated HOKEY chip. Pac-Man 40th does not use a HOKEY or POKEY, just TIA audio, but it still sounds amazing and very close to the original arcade audio. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 As an original owner of Boulder Dash 2600 (has it been 10 years?) and hopeful entrant of the cover art competition (which was a lot of fun, but again...10 years?), I am very excited about more people being able to play and enjoy this masterpiece of coding. I might snag a second copy for a poster of that cover art. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Invader Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Has this been and gone? I couldn't find it in the AA store and I haven't seen loads of posts about people getting their new 2022 copies of Boulder Dash so I'm not sure. It also says in the AA Releases thread this this is an "unlimited release" whatever that means in practical terms so a bit of clarity would be appreciated.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 According to @Albert, all the new games (incl. Boulder Dash) should be in the store very soon. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I should be finished with all the new entries in the store today. I've already updated all the 2021 releases so they may be purchased without the box now. The new games should go live in the store tomorrow. ..Al 4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Invader Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) I've been trying to purchase this to no avail. I've registered with the store, gone through PayPal and it just keeps coming up with red shipping errors even though I've entered everything correctly. I'm based in the UK and I've tried to purchase with two different devices. Please help. Edited January 24, 2023 by English Invader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Canada but am originally from the UK. I think this could quite possibly be the single most important reason for not ever moving back. Dear God, please don't ever let this happen to Canada!

I do know if billing address does not match a credit card (if you're using a credit card), that would cause a transaction to fail. Can you be more specific as to the 'shipping errors' you're seeing? Feel free to send me screenshots privately, and we can discuss to see if I can help resolve the problem for you. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
