I am so envious....I can't stand it.

I put a (very large) PNG of the label art here:

For people who want to make a reproduction.  Obviously it won't have the security hologram on it.

Based on how few I sold in Toronto, and how few are going to Ohio,  I suspect I'll have tons left after the Vegas show (tons meaning 40 or 50).  So if people want one of the numbered ones, you'll likely be able to get one after Vegas.

I've also talked with someone about making a true un-licensed release of this game.  That version would have custom PCBs and cart plastic and a security bypass.  No more donor carts.  It'll also have a different version of the game on it (I hope to add some music, generate more symettrical puzzles, etc..)  So who knows you can always get that one (I know I will be buying one off him).  I wont mention who, since I still havent sent him anything.

yea, i got a copy too #14, the box is so friggin cool, great work albailey

You'll have an opportunity.
1) I can almost guarantee I'll have leftovers after the Vegas show (CGE) of the numbered carts.  Those are NTSC though and the equivalent of repros in terms of how they are made.
2) There will be an un-numbered series being made by someone (not me) that should be multi-region compatable.   Those are the equivalent of unolicensed games in terms of how they are made.  (Assuming I ever get some time away from work to make the required updates.)

Especially if he makes more than 1 game and comes up with a company name for them.  He could pseudo start a whole new age of collecting in a way.  There are still new Atari games being made and I have been wondering for years when someone was going to start making new NES games.

On a side note, I wouldn't mind seeing a NES tic tac toe someday or a good paper rock scissors (better than Honey Peach)

OK, I'll start a new thread where people can post their game ideas.
Puzzle games and the like are really simple to do.


I think the only way a new un-licensed game becomes "collectable" is if its production ends.
So hopefully the un-licensed sudoku games will only be available until I get my next game done.

Question for Al: Is Puzzle 99 the hardest in the game? Because, holy crap, that was pretty damn difficult.



This is the most mentally taxing NES game since Color A Dinosaur (trust me on this). Great work!
