Songbird Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Asteroite is a sci-fi action adventure that puts you in the role of a legendary bounty hunter exploring a strange alien world. Gain vital skills while navigating treacherous tunnels and abandoned factories. Look for clues as to what happened here, and challenge a seemingly endless swarm of foes. Discover advanced technology tubes to save your progress to EEPROM on the cartridge. Do you accept this challenge of wit, skill, and mind? This exclusive Jaguar release includes a box, manual, and cartridge. Orders ship March 22, 2022. Order now at https://songbird-productions.com. European fans may also order here: http://tjocktv.se/product/asteroite-atari-jaguar-pre-order-march-2022/ UK fans may also order here: https://peleiadesshop.mydrobo.com/ UPDATE April 22, 2022: Unfortunately, the first wave of cartridges had a couple of latent bugs which causes the game to crash / lockup on certain Jaguar systems. This crash tends to happen in the first 10-15 minutes of gameplay, either when you reach the first save tube, or reach the first "ice sector" in the upper right part of the map (which is the sector above the first save tube). Also the victory screen appears corrupted for some customers. These bugs have all been fixed in a newer version of the ROM, and this ROM is undergoing test by multiple testers to ensure the ROM is stable from start to finish. If you ordered direct from Songbird, and would like a replacement cart, Songbird will replace your cart free of charge. Note that you must return your original cartridge before you will receive a replacement. Here is the process: Return the cartridge only (you keep the box and manual) to: Songbird Productions 1736 Chippewa Drive NW Rochester, MN 55901 USA Provide a brief written or printed note with the cart including your name, email, and order number. Wait patiently for a new cart to arrive. I will gladly replace everyone's cart, regardless if you hit the crash or not. That way you'll get to have the most reliable version of the game possible. Note that if you receive a cart from another vendor, then you should work with that vendor directly to get a replacement. Thanks to everyone for being so understanding during this process! Really appreciate your patience. UPDATE May 9, 2022: We are resuming shipping using the V1.4 ROM. You can tell if you have the V1.4 ROM by looking for the text V1.4 in the bottom center of the title screen. If you ordered direct from Songbird and would like to swap your cartridge for the new version, please follow the instructions posted above, otherwise contact the shop where you originally bought the cartridge for next steps.

+grips03 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Can you remove the last period in the URL, it will help people order the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to suggest the same, but then my browser on my phone has decided that quoting or posting on AtariAge's forums should randomly type text in... so weird. Likely a bug in Fennec.

Gaztee Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) UK customers can order here https://peleiadesshop.mydrobo.com/ Ignore the bit on the page about postage, as it's included in the price of Asteroite.

Mikebloke Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 @Songbird Even though I'm in the UK, I wanted to grab a few other things from you guys at the same time that the other sellers don't have (sorry guys, would buy locally if you did!) I am in the process of moving house though, is it difficult to change the address of a pre-order if I get keys to my new place before the game is released?

Songbird Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 Yes, I can update the shipping address on a pre-order as needed, as long as you contact me with sufficient time before the order ships. In this case I am anticipating Asteroite and Slicks will start shipping mid-to-late March. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that should be great for me, I don't know if ordering other things in stock would be an issue (happy to wait for it in one order, not like I'll have time to play until the move anyway, but don't know if that just complicates things for you) There is a service for redirecting mail in the UK but comes with a cost and notoriously doesn't work very well!

JagChris Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I gotta wait on this one. Another World is coming up. That and Lynx repair will soon take my money along with other bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Back Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Just put my order in. Hopefully the releases slow down! Between the 7800 and jaguar stuff here, the group buy for another world and this release from songbird I'm beyond broke! My wallet can't take anymore awesome! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaztee Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 For those in the UK if you want a copy of Kings of Edom(or any other Jaguar titles) as well as Asteroite email me at peleiades81@gmail.com and I am sure something can be worked out with Songbird to make it happen. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songbird Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 @Eternal-Krauser has created an excellent second release trailer for Asteroite! He definitely put a lot of nice touches and creative flair into it, plus getting it in HD brings out many nice effects in the game. Check it out! 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_JaguarVCS Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Just pre ordered! I didn’t even know it was possible to order the game here in the UK or I would have followed the link to the website earlier and pre ordered. I’m really looking forward to this one, bring on next month when it starts shipping. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
