Wester Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I got #26 coming to me. I took my laptop to work so I could try to get a low serial number. Damn dialup connection took me 20 minutes to order it. I was happy to see I still got a fairly low number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 How do you know what #s you got? My order just shows "received". I hope mine gets here by Friday as I picked up one for my nephews and will be leaving very early Saturday to catch an 8am flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wester Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 It shows on my detailed order invoice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I don't remember getting a detailed invoice, just a confirmation from PayPal my payment had been received. Doesn't matter, since I won't get my holiday cart until Strat-o-Gems has been released anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 my order now says "Processing" and lists carts 176 and 177 I'm in Houston so I suspect it'll get here by Friday which means I'll be able to deliver it to my nephews for Xmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 #63 which surprises me, I thought I'd be lower although I don't actually care what number it is anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 (edited) I ordered early, but I also reserved Adventure II, which means my Holiday cart will most likely have a high number. No biggie, I just can't wait to play it Edit: just checked my order status and looks like I got #65 after ordering early on the first day. Those things must by flying out of AA headquarters!

djmips Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I'm so excited I'm getting a low edition #101, that's the fifth one right? There are 10 types of people who will get that joke... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Number 24 just arrived on my doorstep, and I've been having fun with it. Fantastic job, Bob, especially with the music. I can hardly believe you did this in a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things must by flying out of AA headquarters! 986830[/snapback] In general, the numbers were assigned in order of payments received. That means people sending checks/money orders will have higher numbers than those paying with PayPal. It's not uncommon for someone to place an order in the store selecting check/money order as the payment option, and then they never send payment, so I don't assign those numbers until the payments arrive. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things must by flying out of AA headquarters! 986830[/snapback] Considering I ordered and paid within what was probably the first 30 minutes (I was periodically refreshing this forum ) I'd say yeah, those things likely flew out the door.

With one exception, all orders received before today that did not have Strat-O-Gems Deluxe and/or Adventure II were shipped either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. Most were shipped on Monday, with all the international orders going out yesterday, and a smaller batch today. Strat-O-Gems orders should ship on Friday. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carts numbered less than 20 are reserved for various and sundry purposes (one for myself, one each for everyone who contributed in some way to the game, and so forth). I only have six carts remaining from 1-19 that are not yet assigned.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wester Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Cool, so I was the seventh person to buy one then. I feel much better about going through the trouble then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 (edited) Just got mine... What a cute game! I am enjoying it immensely. Excellent work!

joeybastard Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Got mine yesterday, a great job by all on the holiday cart, it's a lot of fun to play, a lot of graphic detail and the manual/label is beautiful. I also got Swoops and Power Off!. Swoops is great fun, a perfect pick up and play quick collection of games. Of course I wind up hitting reset just to try to get a little bit higher score... But the new love of my life is Power Off! How come I haven't seen long threads on here about this game? It kicks ass both as an action game and a sort of puzzle game. Good graphics, great sound(the rhythm of the running is very catchy) and very fun. It's also pretty difficult though so maybe that's why. The best way I can describe it is that it seems like what Infiltrate would have been like on the Colecovision but it's on the VCS. Does that make any sense?

There's a review box on the Power Off! page that's empty, maybe you should click the "Write Review link". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will write a review for PO! after I get a little deeper into it. I think I played it for about 3 hours straight last night. Just kept hiting reset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
