Following Australia Day this year I thought I’d create a special thankyou gift for some Australian collectors who help me out with my collection. This one comes complete with a NES rendition of Waltzing Matilda!

I’ve been playing around with a few things, seems the gameboy colour version may be releaseable yet…

We now have a new box design available for people to complete their cart/manual copies of their games. Note that the design of these differs a bit from the limited edition version sold at the expo, and they won’t be numbered. Send a PM to Mark Oberhauser over on Atari Age to buy one. They are selling for 14 Euro plus shipping.

So Cal Mike has recorded a review of Chunkout 2600 in the latest Retrogaming Roundup podcast

Thanks for the review Mike, and for the great show UK Mike and Scott!

For everyone that missed out on getting a copy of Chunkout 2600 at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo in September, there are a limited few copies of the cartridge and manual version available.

To get a copy just email Rick at 2600collector@gmail.com and he will be able to post you out a copy for $25 + shipping.

For Halloween myself and a few other members of Nintendo Age rethemed an earlier mini-game that I had developed as a scavenger hunt prize earlier in the year.

This is available to download now over at Nintendo Age

I just discovered this great coverage of the Portland Expo by David Ngo, the winner of the Chunkout 2600 competition at the expo. Congratulations on the win David!

The expo went really well in Portland and I had a great time meeting up with heaps of retro gaming folk. Thanks to all of the organisers of the show for all their hard work, especially Rick for his work on helping with the Chunkout 2600 release.

Both the competitions for the Chunkout 2 and Chunkout 2600 were tightly fought out between a number of people and it was great to see the interest in my games!

Some great photos of the event can be found:
