Well, thanks!

It will probably sell a modest amount, at least compared to my previous Psytronik release. But my main motivation isn't money, but to get to hold my creations in my hand. Plus, the artwork for the packaging is really cool.

What else did you get with your order? I presume that when people order from Psytronik, they usually order a batch of games because of shipping costs.

I also got my copy yesterday. It's pretty cool to hold it in my hands like a music CD or album.

I buy individual games from Psytronik, but then I live in the UK so the shipping is only a few quid.

I've bought every VIC-20 release to date and a few C64 titles. I'm looking forward to the new Carling game that's due to be released on the C64.

Even though I have both the tape and disk versions of Carling the Spider, I use the digital download version most of the time which runs very nicely on the SD2IEC.

Same for me - I buy disks for collection purposes, but then download the games and put them in my SD card.
