Mike_at_AEI Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 I will make a prototype buy of Carts from Atari Age this month (June 2024). If they work fine, I'll let you all know and you can order them directly from me I am also working on a deal to have them available at Freeplay in Florida this November. These will be a special fully boxed release. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest Dumper (version X.01) supports DPC+. I tested a couple of DPC+ games (e.g. Space Rocks & Stay Frosty 2) and they work just fine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSW Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Just so I understand, it sounds like there will be three separate physical versions of this game: 1.) cart only directly from Artisan Games via Facebook/email correspondence 2.) special boxed set available at Free Play Florida 3.) Future AtariAge boxed set in planning stages Is this correct? Are there any pictures/scans of the cart and Free Play box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_at_AEI Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 Here is a picture of the cart from Artisan Retro Games (me). It also comes with a color laser-printed manual Freeplay will have unique label and box art, but the same actual binary (game program). I do not yet have that art to share. Atari Age (hoping to start that release before the end of the year) will have the same cartridge and printed manual in a new box (not yet designed, but borrowing for the cartridge art for sure). I will try to work out a deal to sell boxes to those that already bought the cartridge direct I have started to work on the sequel game: A New Earth. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels Retro yet not, in the best possible way! Some HB releases art feels a little off for being on an ATARI cart imo, but this is nailing the blend of Modern and Reto! Nice job!

Mike_at_AEI Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 Thanks! That's the art I think of when I think Atari 2600. Glad it came across as I had hoped. I like to use the original font and text layout to make it look like it came out in 1980. I have to tell you, it was a childhood dream to make my own Atari cartridge, and I was thrilled when it actually happened!

Koji Kabuto Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 This game is absolutely brilliant and fun, also very well programmed, it looks more like an 8-bit computer game than our beloved 2600, I discovered it today and I have not stopped playing, I'm having a lot of fun. If it had been sold at the time it would have been a mega sales hit for sure. Congratulations @Mike_at_AEI!, I'm now finishing my first game in Batari Basic and now I feel very inspired to release “Invasion” and continue developing many more games for this great community.😁👾🕹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to release in on Atari Age soon and it will be available in Cart form at Freeplay Florida in November this year. Also personally just made a run of carts for some folks that ordered on my FB page. BTW. just started coding the sequel. Plan B: New Earth...humanity has travelled across the galaxy to find a new place to live, but are they welcome on this new world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koji Kabuto Posted Thursday at 07:02 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:02 PM (edited) I loved it and congratulations on the cartridge version, I'll be looking forward to PLAN B : New Earth! Edited Thursday at 07:04 PM by Koji Kabuto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
