Jeff-20 · Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2009 3:26 am Post subject: Denial Collection 3 now available

My new project is finally done. I'll figure out the postage and start mailing them this weekend. It's a box set and requires a tape drive and joystick (no memory expansion).

The box version contains seven modest games. A color disk version with six games will also be available on request. I eventually plan to make the game programs that can be played without additional components available online in the future.

The collection is a concept piece about dichotomies. Ten Ten, the only previously released game, is an example of the theme. I wanted to approach the collection as a musician would assemble an album (consider this my "Dark Side of the Moon"). I couldn't decide if I should tell all about the contents or let it be a surprise. A mystery box. Smile

I really want to recreate the experience of tape loaded games. I noticed that after waiting for a game to load, I'm more likely to explore its finer details; unlike the average 2.5 seconds I give to roms via emulation. Laughing

Those of you with the first or second collection should know what to expect. Basic games. A few other surprises are included this time.

I'll have to get to the post office in find out how much postage will be first, but I estimate shipping to average US$5. The box is kinda heavy, so I should verify that first.

I wanted to make it a winter gift for when you guys are all snowed in, but obviously, I can't make enough (or afford to ship) to all members. Asking for a donation to offset shipping would help me know how many to make. PM your shipping address if you think you may be interested.

Also, if you want me to explain more, I will.

Think more Odyssey 1, and less Wii. Laughing

That's why the disk has one less game.

Also, some of you have made donations in the past or gave me items in the past. Just pm you current address so I know where to mail this. IOUs are also accepted. Honestly, it's not really the money. I just want to make sure I have enough to go around for those who want it.

Now begins the manual labor of putting these box sets together Laughing

Disc would be nice (too).

I too am intrigued, particularly because I'm so fond of Ten Ten but if I understand you correctly, in order to access the full version with all seven games a person would need a datasette as the disk version is missing something? That's kind of a bummer as I no longer use disks or tapes. Sad

I'm limited to just over 40 units, and I didn't expect so many requests. So, I can only allow one per person. Around 50% have been spoken for so far in the first 12 hours. Wow.

Update: I didn't get to the post office today, so I changed my gameplan. I'll just mail first and figure out payments later. Too many countries to sort. Wherever you are, expect shipping for one small, metal box as pictured. We can do it shareware style. Smile
