this is for the Super Jewel Box with 2Disc tray...

Ah, ok. Just thought the proportions were wrong for a stock cd case.

@Black Tiger you can do that.
Pledge for the Limited Edition and use our upgrades. You can add the normal PCE version for 45 USD.

@TheOldMan yeah this is just for the LE. The normal version will have a standard Jewel Case
Power stride and ready to ride!

Hm, not sure if I noticed this before. Guess it won't make it though, 4 days to go but $15k short...

So the gameplay would be something like Gun Smoke and/or Wild Guns on the challenge stages ? I couldn't find a video to provide some idea, I just see anime stuff.

I tried finding a way to upgrade while on my mobile browser, but had no luck. If I click on the Bee package or whatever it's called, it only downgrades my "total" pledge.


Nightwolve: I'm pretty sure that is was $3000 less yesterday afternoon. If it at least maintains that pace it could make it. I just hope that they push to get more exposure in "retro" communities and media asap.

Needs like 4800$ in 3 days to git down on it.   There was a pretty hefty jump.

Yeah, they locked down another $10k. They need to up a last minute mass-spamming effort and they could pull it off.

So, PCE or DC? Is there a compelling reason to get DC? Otherwise, why not PCE, right?

Woah, yep, they made it. Congrats!

Well, I hope backers will be happy with what comes of this... I don't see no gameplay videos (in other words, no prototype), so it's not something I found trustworthy even if I was mildly interested.

Imagine the boss battles in Atlantean, with Saber Rider art + music.

That's how I'll basically be doing that.


wait what.

I didn't want to say anything because it was kind of funny to watch the skepticism and speculation.

\o/

I was honestly hoping for more guessing at who'd be working on it, though.  lol

'Tis good to hear you're on board.  I didn't speculate because it didn't sound like they had any real plans other than "give us money and we'll pay someone to figure it all out later" (VGS style).

Yeah I was telling Ark that last night when he told me he was onboard. Had they held this thing proper, with something more to show then just tiny 3DS clips and mock shots, showing specific teams of developers are on board ready to do each individual version, then they would have gotten more backers.

As is it is still just backing an idea of a game, not an actual product yet, and that does not go over well these days. Too many kickstarters have failed hard due to this kind of vague promise style marketing. I'm not big on the whole pre-order mess either, but if Ark puts out a game for this, and it is some kind of action game, I will buy one. Unless I die sometime between now and spring 2017 anyway.

As is, I liked the idea, but it was just that currently, an idea. None of the guys listed on the kickstarter had any experience with PCE, and mostly were Euro guys. I dont want to trust my money with euro people who mostly built their career on stuff like the Amiga or C64 or later at Nintendo, because their style on how they do their games tends to be something I dont enjoy much. Ark's version will probably be the only really worthwhile thing to come out of this I feel like. I just have a gut feeling the the other games are going to be copy/paste Power Rangers Metal Slug: The Game.

I kinda guessed that it was going to be you ... have fun doing the game!

I'm sure that it'll be an interesting experience for you, working with Simon Butler.

Don't forget to put in a warehouse section. All licensed 1980's games had to include a warehouse section, it must have been a legal requirement, or something!  :wink:
