+jgkspsx Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Bt Garner, the creator of MindRec games and a homebrew pioneer on the Turbografx/PC Engine, passed away in February. His family transferred all of the unsold copies of his games to his MindRec collaborator Nathan McLain. Nathan sold me a few copies to make available here. One copy of Hypernova Blast is reserved but everything else is available. I believe these are pressed CDs, not CDRs. One copy of each game per person. Active AtariAge contributors take precedence over lurkers. Vax is $15, the rest are $10.55. (Note that Vax includes Implode Remastered.) Shipping is extra but combines. Here are videos of the games: You can read more about them at the MindRec website while it’s still up: http://mindrec.com/games.php 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesusc Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) I heard about BT’s passing via a recently created PCFX focused podcast on YouTube. Never picked up any of his games beyond the original Implode and Meteor Blaster, but joining his Turbo and Saturn mailing lists were crucial parts of my early internet life- made possible by the Saturn Net link. Sad to hear. Edited May 13, 2023 by jesusc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furor Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 This is very sad to hear, condolences to his family and friends. I would love the opportunity to add his games to my collection. If available, I'd like to purchase one of each. Thanks!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 I should say that Nathan has plenty so if I sell out you can find him on Turbo Town: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TurboTownTG16/permalink/6293107607423630/?mibextid=W9rl1R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmeister92 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I'm sorry to hear of Bt's passing. I remember hearing about Meteor Blaster DX way before I even had my SuperCDROM, but never picked it up. If you happen to still have copies, I'm interested in one of each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamstate Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I was looking and over the years I realized I picked up almost all of these. I would like a copy of VAX if you still have one available since I seem to have the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 My highly scientific algorithm has run and these are the results: VAX: 1. @glazball 2. @sixersfan105 3. @cvga 4. @schnuth 5. @Dreamstate 6. @furor 7. @swlovinist 8. @K-Rod 13 9. @GoldenWheels 10. @GoldLeader Hypernova Blast: 1. @DragonGrafx-16 2. @cvga 3. @schnuth 4. @swlovinist 5. @K-Rod 13 6. @furor 7. @3DFXgamer Implode: 1. @cvga 2. @schnuth 3. @furor 4. @swlovinist Meteor Blaster DX: 1. @cvga 2. @schnuth 3. @furor 4. @swlovinist 5. @K-Rod 13 Does this sound right to everyone? EDIT: After conferring with Nathan, I am just buying more to cover everyone and so I don't get stuck with extras. Please let me know if this looks correct! EDIT 2: @cmeister92 already ordered from Nathan so I have another set available! EDIT 3: but I guess Nathan is going to have me fulfill anyway! EDIT 4: or not lol If anybody missed out, please message me and I will put you in touch with him directly. They will likely cost more minus the group discount but they're still really affordable compared to a lot of homebrew. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 All of the remaining packages went out this morning - you should all have a tracking code through PayPal! At least a couple already arrived. I ended up with an extra Meteor Blaster DX (which includes two bonus games, Implode Caravan Version and Loop v2) so if anybody skipped it and decides they want it please let me know.
