Trade-N-Games Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Count me in for the boxed NTSC version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwwong Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 Update: The carts and manuals are ready for production. Thanks to Rhindle for all his hard work on Haunted Adventure Boo!'s artwork and manual design! I'll keep everyone posted when I hear back from Packrat. Regarding the box design, I'm hoping that each one can be personalized, if time permits... More on that later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwwong Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Update: Here is the link to the photos of the Special Edition box that is available. The box is customizable with the production number and a 40 character text message that can be added, i.e., owner's name, to make this a truly collectible item. I also added a couple more Haunted Advenuture - Boo! screenshots to the first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhindle The Red Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Update: Here is the link to the photos of the Special Edition box that is available. I love the use of the classic "Special Edition" logo. Nice work on the box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwwong Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Thanks Rhindle; your work is not too bad either! I actually had different artwork that I wasn't happy with. I scrapped it and started over. Maybe I'll post it later. I will send out invoices to everyone who expressed an interest in preordering starting later today.

atwwong Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 I am trying to find out the status of shipping from Packrat Video Games, as the SE was completed over 2 weeks ago. I will post a reply as soon as I receive more information. Apologies to everyone and I ask for your continued patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atwwong Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 Update from PackratVG! "Everything is ready to go out except for a few boxes. Each box takes about a half hour to construct (cutting, folding, etc.). Tomorrow is a holiday here and we will finish everything up to ship. I certainly apologize for the delay. You can assure everyone that it has been worth the wait. I could have rushed through the production, but I wanted to make sure that everything comes out absolutely perfect. I guess that being a perfectionist can be a hinderence sometimes. - Jarett" Thanks, Jarett I do appreciate Jarett being a perfectionist! As he says, it will be worth the wait...

Lord Helmet Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Thanks for the update. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Cool, I actually asked atwwong yesterday what was happening. He put me as the first "victim" to purchase this. I'm looking forward to it. The box itself is probably worth the price. I'm glad fellow gamers take the time to produce projects that are entertaining for the rest of us.

atwwong Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 Yes, Phil was my first "victim"! As a result, he gets the lowest box number besides mine! As I've said before, it was a fun experience working with many talented people. Even squashing the timing errors and other "bugs" with Nukey for the SE was a good learning experience. The box was a joy to design as well. I'll tell that tale one day... I have the following update from Jarett: ...everything goes out tomorrow.

PackratVG Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I would like to publicly apologize to everyone that has to wait for their Haunted Adventure orders. I am very sorry for the delays. To be honest, I'm disappointed with my team. This isn't like us. This has never happened before and we are working now to rectify our production and shipping difficulties to ensure that this doesn't occur again. If anyone has any questions or concerns, I would be more than happy to answer them. Sincerely, Jarett Waite Owner Packrat Video Games www.packratvg.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I assume this means they are in the mail? I can vouch for Jarett. I have bought from Packrat before, and have never had a problem. Good things come to those who wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackratVG Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Tony should be sending out shipping confirmations to everyone. Except for international orders, everyone can expect their package by Saturday at the very latest (we sent them out on Tuesday). Thanks, Jarett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwwong Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 Thanks for the update, Jarett. It's very much appreciated, as always! I will be working on the e-mail confirmations tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 My set arrived today. It was well worth the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 My set arrived on Friday. Great collectors item, and a couple of great games. I played the crap out of Haunted Adventure Boo! yesterday. Beat it on all 3 levels. I think level 2 is the best because it forces you to explore the entire game in order to win. Now I'm going to start on Redemption! these games are just what any Adventure fan needs! I must say that both of these games are of really good quality, and tey are both quite fun. In fact, they don't really feel like hacks of Adventure at all, which is a testament to Artwong, Nukey Shay, and all others involved. Congrats on a great accomplishment!
