Albert Posted October 29, 2003 Author Share Posted October 29, 2003 Question related to this project: Now that the Activision ROMs have been removed from AA, is there a length of time when they can be put back? Or are they forever gone never to return? The Activision ROMs being removed had nothing to do with this particular project, they were removed some time ago when we were working on something else with Activision. I don't anticipate them coming back anytime soon. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anything changed? Can we expect this on the 11th er what? Can't wait...! -PongHit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serguei2 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 I'm wondering if Activision Anthology was designed for veterans like us or for kids. Do you think the kids could enjoy this game? Serguei2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin42 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I just decided to mail off a check to Aspyr directly... figured if it's as cool as everyone's saying, the couple extra bucks that goes directly to them (instead of the retailer) is money well spent. Plus, I'm hoping I get my copy faster... (hint hint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhowerter Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 So WHEN is this game really coming out? I really am looking forward to reading reviews on it. (PLEASE dont suck ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Well, it's in manufacturing in Japan now, so it should be in stores the first week of December. Preordered copies from www.aspyr.com should be received slightly sooner. -cnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 What's that special code line for? Is there a discount for AA members, or those who stood in line to try it at the Aspyr booth in Austin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esper Wizard Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I just received my payment for jury duty today. That will pay for half the cost of the Activision Anthology cartridge. I can't wait. I hope it's not delayed, since I'm visiting my family on Christmas and I want to play all these games in the plane. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin42 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Just got an email from Aspyr (I wanted to inquire if my mail order was received) and they said that Anthology will ship "mid week next week" (week of Nov. 30th)... yay!!

+Random Terrain Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I hope we can buy it from Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Anyone know a place I can order it to be shipped to Australia? Aspyr don't ship to here (and Amazon don't ship video games here either). EB's down under don't even have this item showing on their system yet -- usually they know what they're getting months ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
israelg Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 does anyone received this collection ? it should be released in this week... will Atari's "80 in 1" will be also ported to the GBA platform ? Israel Geron T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Ok guys and gals...Activision Anthology GBA started shipping from our distributor as of Tuesday December 2nd. It will probably start showing up in stores late next week sometime. Those of you who preordered from www.aspyr.com should be receiving your copies very soon now (a couple of days perhaps?) For those of you not in North America, we cannot ship any of our GBA titles to you due to export restrictions mandated by Nintendo...sorry.

krisjohn Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 For those of you not in North America, we cannot ship any of our GBA titles to you due to export restrictions mandated by Nintendo...sorry. Not to come down on you or anything, but that sucks. Give Nintendo a big FU from me the next time you see them. Meanwhile, I'll see if I can source it from a store willing to ignore that directive.

AtariK2 Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Wow - I must have no life... I just read every message in this thread (8 pages) expecting to come to the end with a bunch of 'I got mine!' and 'This game ROCKS!', etc. yet NOT ONE person has stated (in this thread at least) that they have laid their hands upon this gem. I'm guessing mention has been made in other threads but it just seemed poetic that it occur in this thread that has been going on for so long... EDIT: OK - I found the 'other' impressions thread but I'm not going to read it's 7 pages just yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxglove9 Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I finally got mine last week for only $26 shipped, thanks to a tipster here. The game is just amazing, I really can't find a bad thing about it, except for maybe what seems to be a dip in frame rates in some of the animation but it's very rare and it doesn't affect gameplay at all. It has quickly become my favorite GBA game. I love the Homebrew games too. Many of which I've never gotten to play before because they didn't work in my emulator. I almost wish there were more homebrews, maybe AA can put together a GBA cart of just homebrew titles? I'd love to see more of the 2600 collection released as well, not neccessarily the popular Atari made carts but more of the obscure or rare games.
