Wow - Gravitic Mines and Last Strike showed up today (2 days early).  I cannot state how professional these releases look.  The boxes and cart labels are superb and the full colour manuals - everything is just top notch.  The Last Strike soundtrack CD is a glass master too - not a burned CD-R.  Excellent work to everyone involved.  Can't wait to play these.

My Gravitic Mines and Dr. Hypo have yet to ship. That's what I get for waiting until 8:34 a.m. Jan. 1. I should have been jabbing the refresh button at 12:01 a.m.!

The remaining Gravitic Mines orders will be going out on Friday.

Got my copy today of Gravitic Mines today. I'm a seasoned gamer going back to the 70s.. but damn this game is tough. 

Requires a soft touch for sure as the controls are tight AND sensitive. Maybe age is catching up to me. Definitely need to put some time into this. Plays good and looks fantastic. 

 

Putting King of Edom away and splitting time between this and Asteroite.  

 

Nice works guys all the way around . Packaging, manual, soundtrack some of the best. A triple A jag title IMHO.

Thanks!

I'm a happy camper:

My kids deemed Another World too hard for me, as I died several times, so most of the time went into Gravitic Mines today, which they enjoyed quite a bit. We did get into a prolonged debate over whether the building near the the starting point in "The Great Energy Heist" is the player's house or not, but overall they (like me) really liked the art. You have some new fans @agradeneu.

 

Nice to finally have more than two levels to master. I guess everyone else's copies are sitting on shelves NIB though, because I seem to have the only high scores posted outside of the training levels ?

 

The controls in this game are incredibly tight and responsive, and the scrolling is so silky smooth. It seems like modern developers can't even get a simple UI to scroll that smoothly half the time on the comparatively massive GPUs in smartphones with gigs of memory these days. Great work @CyranoJ. It's a joy to play, and I find it to be a very relaxing game. It's just as fun of a pick-up-and-play choice as Tempest 2000 or Rebooteroids, but with the exact opposite mood.

Thank you both!

It's fantastic to see people finally getting the game and (hopefully!) enjoying it!   

The scoreboards were full last night, be we decided to clear them out for today so everyone can start fresh. I'll see everyone on there shortly!

I figured it was something like that. Still gonna enjoy my short time on top since I can never creep onto the Rebooteroids ones ?

Must have started shipping. I got an email that mine will get here on Saturday, May 21st, the day before my birthday!! Great timing!!! I know what I'm doing this weekend! ?

Wow just looked at the tracking for the game and it's already out for delivery. The mail is on the ball this week! Thank you so much for this game. Me and my Jaguar are very happy!

I know Albert is working on the crazy UK Brexit stuff - hopefully he'll have some up on ebay/etsy when he gets back from his vacation.

Yes, I will be putting all the new games up on eBay and Etsy, and I'll work again on getting the UK VAT taken care of.  My first application was a bust, they claimed I didn't submit all the information in a timely manner, and I most certainly did.  They require you to submit documents via email, which is kind of ridiculous in this day and age.  Who the hell knows what happened to that, so I'll need to do it all over again.
