Greetings!

As some of you may or may not know, I am strongly considering attending the upcoming Portland Retro Gaming Expo coming up on September 20th. It's been a while since I've attended a show, and I've never been to any of the NWCGE sponsored events.

My plans are to release several new games at the event. To help fund the manufacture of these games as well as expenses for the trip, I'm going to take advance orders for some of the games. I will be adding these games to the AtariAge Store immediately after the show, and those who buy the games in advance will have their games shipped first.

The games I'm offering for early sale are:

- 2600 Dungeon $25 (NTSC/PAL60)
- 2600 Juno First $25 (NTSC/PAL60)
- 7800 Space Invaders $30 (NTSC/PAL)
- 7800 Super Pac-Man $30 (NTSC/PAL)
- 7800 Jr. Pac-Man $30 (NTSC Only)

These games will have professionally printed manuals and labels. I printed the above manuals and labels myself--while they look quit good, the actual carts and manuals will look even better! But the printing is expensive! I am busting my ass right now to get everything printed in time for the show.

If I get 50 pre-orders for Dungeon by the end of the day tomorrow, I will also include an 11" x 17" dual-sided poster that contains the following images:



To keep things simple, shipping in the US/Canada will be $5.00 (Priority Mail in the US). Shipping outside the US/Canada will be $10. Dungeon Poster will be shipped carefully folded to 8 1/2" x 11" size. If you want it shipped in a tube, I can do that for an extra $5.

Pictures below. I don't have labels printed yet for Jr. Pac-Man, but have included a picture of a cart PacManPlus made. It also will have a manual.

You can PayPal the appropriate total to sales@atariage.com. Please also send me a PM with the games you are buying and what your shipping address is (seems PayPal is not including shipping addresses with payment emails often times now). Also let me know if you want NTSC or PAL versions of the games where available. If you're in the US/Canada I'm going to assume you want NTSC. Europe/Australia, PAL. If you have any questions, please feel free to write me (or post in this thread).

If you want any other AtariAge games I'd be glad to help you out, just let me know.

















Here is a Jr. Pac-Man cart that PacManPlus made a while ago:



Will update this photo later once I get some Jr. Pac-Man labels printed:

Are PAL versions available?

[phaxda]

And those of us who are going to the show--should we preorder or just show up with the, um, $170 in cash?

Juno First! Swe-e-et....

[rmaerz]

I want a copy of Juno First - but Paypal says that "sales@atariage.com" is not a valid address!

Good question!

Juno First: PAL60
Dungeon: PAL60
7800 Super Pac-Man: PAL
7800 Space Invaders: PAL
7800 Jr. Pac-Man: I don't believe there is a PAL version right now, I'll ask Bob.

There is something seriously wrong with PayPal, I've had this same exact problem myself trying to send payments to valid addresses. Send me your PayPal email address via PM and I'll send you an invoice.

If you want to save on shipping, you can pay now and I'll have your copies (and Dungeon poster if I get 50 pre-orders for it) at the show!

[Bill_Loguidice]

I'd like "Dungeon" and "Juno First". Sending Paypal now as billlog.

[rmaerz]

I have to tell you that I have Jr. Pac-Man and it is a must have for a 7800 collection...

[rmaerz]

BTW, is Space Invaders new because I thought I saw that previously available from the AA store?

[Captain Beard]

Hey, Al --
I definitely want in on some of these, but I've still got an unused store credit for some donor carts I sent ya. Can I apply that now or should I just wait until they show up in the re-opened store? It truly matters not for me -- whatever's easiest for you.

PayPal does that if you copy and paste the text (not sure why). Just type the text and it will work fine.

That's good to know, although it's quite annoying as that's typically what I do (copy/paste) to make sure I don't mistype the email address!!

I can look that up for you and apply it against the games. Please send me a PM with the games you're interested in.

Thanks!

For those of us that bought Bob's Jr. Pac-Man, is there a way to purchase the manual without the cart?

I'm not sure at this time, that's something I will consider after the show. I want to keep things simple (well, relatively simple) at the moment.

[gambler172]

Hi Al
I would like to purchase only the Pac Jr and Super Pac Man manual and Space Invaders 7800 cart and manual.And sure a 2600 Dungeon with this really great poster.
greetings Walter

Oh man, I want both Dungeon and Juno First, but the budget only allows one at this time. I'm going with Dungeon at this time, but I will snag Juno First when the store returns! PM pending!!

[phaxda]

Oh yeah... I have a bunch of credit. Will send PM.

I learned that just the other day and hate it. Email addresses frequently have weird characters in them that make cut and paste the best way to deal with them. Paypal has gotta get it together.

Got any screenshots of these games?

Yeah, I don't know why they would do this. Oh, wait, eBay bought them.

Btw, if you want any other AtariAge homebrews while you're at it, just let me know and I'll be glad to help you out!

[moycon]

Sweet! I'm snagging Dungeon! Thanks Albert

[Robert M]
