Atari Dogs Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Got it just in time!!! Also bought Go Fish and some pcb boards to put some hacks on. How do you solder the chips on so perfectly? I am looking at the preattached chips on the board and thinking there is no way I can do a job like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain King Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Great Job guys! This games a lot of fun. I really like all the subtle surprises. I won't give anything away. But there will be some familiar things flying at you and in the backround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hex65000 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I had to wait until post holidays to place my order in the possible (however unlikely) event that the girlfriend/fiance scooped up a copy without telling me. I also grabbed the Ebivision 5-pack and Koffi the Copter. I wanted a bunch of other homebrew items, but that was pretty much the limit of my funds. Lastly, I like the idea of a homebrew game being modified/upgraded as the xmas cart. I passed on the '03 cart because it appeared to be more of a technical demo, while cool -- just isn't hitting high on my priority list. I ordered ever so late, will my cart be the last one? I don't really care much about the SN -- it is what it is. Hex. [ That's a nearly unstoppable combination -- like mixing liquor AND beer. . . ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 The nephews both enjoy the game. We've been taken turns playing it. The oldest(11) and myself have both gotten to the 3rd level, me just a tad farther. The youngest(6) hasn't finished the first but enjoys it non-the-less.

mrppv666 Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Any word on Adventure 2? The 5200 board has been quiet lately and I ordered everything together with the holiday cart with Adventure 2 instead of seperately so I didn't have to spend too much money. Does it look like a later January release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderFist Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I bought Reindeer Rescue, and am going to wait to buy some more, but I do plan to get more in the future. I got this one now since it won't be available anytime later. I wasn't sure what to expect from these homebrew games, but Reindeer Rescue I find to be thoroughly enjoyable! I'm still working on level 3, though at least I got the piece of the sleigh in level 2. I've only played it twice so far, btw. I'd play it more, but I must rest up for work. Anyhow, I gather by the flyer that making these games isn't illegal, as I thought they might be at first. I'll definitely get Adventure II sometime - the first one's pretty cool, so I can only imagine what a sequal would be like, done right!

These are original games being produced by Atariage for the programmer. I can't wait until my Reindeer Rescue arrives, but that will probably be in the new year.

Albert Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 I can't wait until my Reindeer Rescue arrives, but that will probably be in the new year. 989732[/snapback] All orders through yesterday with exception of any that include "Adventure II" are shipping today. if you're order didn't include Adventure II, then it'll be going out today, but since you're in Canada I think the odds of you receiving it before the new year are not good. All Strat-O-Gems orders are shipping today! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8bitclassics Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 What is the eta on the Adventure II orders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderFist Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Speaking of Adventure II, I need to get a power adaptor for my 5200, or I'll never get to play it, or any of the other 5200 games I've gotten since the adaptor went awol. I was told once that it takes a 12 volt, 1 amp adaptor. Is it true that I can get one someplace like, say, Radio Shack? By the way, the programmers here have inspired me to make my own homebrew sometime. I've just hoping at this point that someday someone will figure out how to program SNES roms - I figure I'll need at least SNES level power to make the type of game I have in mind.

vdub_bobby Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Only a few days left to get a new copy of Reindeer Rescue. If you still need more information before you buy, you might find what you're looking for in a blog... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Speaking of Strat-O-Gems, when will the final label for it be revealed? (Seems to me there was a contest associated with that...) (And everyone should really buy a copy of Reindeer Rescue. Even if you've already bought one. Buy another. It'd make a great gift for next Christmas.)

gulag picture radio Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I ordered mine just a few seconds ago. It was a real toughie to pick just two homebrews to buy (budget and all...). I did get Thrust + Platinum, but was bummed to see that the foot pedal controller isn't available anymore - or did I just not know where to look? I would love to find one of those... I gotta stop being so late with everything all the time. I smell a new Year's Resolution... when I get around to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I got my #90 awhile ago. Just curious. How many of these carts were made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviticus Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Just got home on the 26th and have been playing Reindeer Rescue quite a bit since. Great job to all who worked on it! It's a very fun game, and I'm really impressed by the graphics and sounds you all pulled off -especially the variety of tunes. Merry Christmas/New Year.

Gateway Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Got #186 today. I am also pleasantly surprised by the variety of Holiday tunes included in the game's code, plus the feature to turn them off when I get tired of it. Kudos to all involved with this game. It was the only homebrew I could afford right now and I didn't want to miss it so I'm glad I got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Sure. Y'know, if Albert would let you know how many shy of Synthcart you were, you could just buy up enough to snag the #1 slot, and then eBay 'em all next year when people show up and inevitably ask, "How come I missed this? Can I still get one?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 Just a reminder that this is the last day you can place an order for a Reindeer Rescue cart (either as a freebie with a $50 order, or purchased outright). ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I got number 161 today. I even started a thread with opinions on the games I ordered as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
