I never have a problem accessing it from home or work -- you can try going thru Koffi's site and hitting the link that way too.

I have never had a problem with the link.

I'm eagerly awaiting the chance to play this game on my new 5200.

The only problem I have with the link is my name isn't on it That should be rectified soon since I finally got off my butt and went to the post office to get a money order. I'm sorry about the delay Ron.

I got my copy of Koffi this morning in the mail. Playability is great. The instructions must have taken forever to put together. It's definitely one of the best packaged homebrew's I've ever purchased. And I've purchased more than my share.

Got my copy today as well. Koffi rocks. I love the instructions. The game is really great too. Can't wait for Adventure! I do have one complaint though. When I opened the box I couldn't find the warranty card!

Got mine today! Great job on the packaging and manual as mentioned. Very colorful effort all around and the game plays great. I'll have more time to throughly play it tomorrow, 30 minutes today wasn't enough

I broke 18 thousand and went through the first three levels (4 stages per level). My wife loves the game. Good job all around.

[Mitch]

I got mine today, too.

Same here, got it this morning.

[NoahsMyBro]

I got mine this afternoon as well. I can't wait to try it out - hopefully tonight!

As far as the packaging - I must say I think Songbird releases and Battlesphere spoiled me. I thought the box was very similar to the Castle Blast box, and while it is admittedly far superior to anything I'd have managed, it isn't quite 'professional' when compared to the above-mentioned homebrews.

BUT,the manual was as good as any I've ever seen! The production quality, the slick paper, the colors, etc... were all outstanding, first-class, grade-A stuff. Very impressive.

Looking forward to a great game, and to Adventure II!

Why me? It looks like a lot of people got their copy today. I hope mine arrives on Monday.

[-^Cro§Bow^-]

I might still get mine today...My mail doesn't get here until about 5:00 or 6:00 sometimes...and I only live a block from the post office. I guess they hit my neighborhood last since we are so close..and ON the Way back...or something...

YAY Ron! I knew the game was good when my wife tried it out. She has very little interest in videogames, and had agreed to give this one a shot (after my pleading and insisting) with one of those tones that generally means 'I'll try it to humor you, but then I'm only planning on giving it 2 or 3 mintues, after which I'll say 'It's OK' and go do something else'.

Well, she tried it, and quickly died. I explained what she was doing wrong, and she tried it again. For about 15 minutes she would paly, die, and say 'OK, this is my last game. No, I mean it this time. Really. Just one more try.....'

Then I knew you had her!

I like the game too, but so far I'm not very good at it.

I am happy to read that many of you got yours! Cool!

18,000 points is awesome for your first day's play-thru! Just think only 2,000 more and you'd have gotten a bonus koffi!

@noahsmybro: keep at it, that Pyro is mean but he's a real dummy especially early on.

A dare: switch to Normal or Hard difficulty and play Pyro's Mom at Level 4 or above.

[NoahsMyBro]

Just another update - Before hitting the sack last night I managed to get to Pyro's Mom 2 before dying. I think my score was around 27,000.

Cafeman - I noticed that the top left of the display indicates 'P1:' ; does that represent Player 1? Assuming so, was there an intent to have 2 players possible?

Also, as much as I've always liked the 5200 controllers (when they work, obviously), I find my left thumb (the fire button thumb) joint gets very cramped up very quickly once I start playing. I think I need to find a different way to hold the controller.

Just discovered this last night. To those that haven't realized it yet, when you get an animal under the trees and begin to come out from under the trees you can go up, back torwards the top, at the same time as going left or right and drop off the animal at the edge of the screen while your way up on top of the screen. This saves a second or two.

Yes, that's a good tip. Another one is when you start a level and there is an animal waiting to be rescued, you can fly straight down through the forest to the animal before the fire starts.
