Haha - love the way you tear apart my careful packaging like a kid at Christmas! I'm relieved that you didn't damage the contents, stabbing it with that pen :)

Thanks for the support (buying the game) - I really hope you get to play it on real hardware ;)

@heavystylus Fingers crossed, the guys at MADE in Oakland have one for me to test it out on. I'll find out on Friday night - @BayAreaFightNight is going to let me know!

Hi Anthony, thanks for showing my conversion on your show! The difference between NTSC and PAL is not THAT big. The music will run 20% faster (60Hz vs. 50Hz), You will not get a static background, but actually a scrolling one (due to less CPU cycles per screen-refresh, i.e. 1MHZ processor for both PAL and NTSC). And the stuttering is hardly noticeable, since running at that speed will get you killed anyhow ;-)

@PaulKo64 Thank YOU for making something so rad!

re: the differences - I can deal with that. I'll give it a shot!

are you wearing your old glasses? Cool unboxing though.

[newchallenger]

@fmaguy I'm switching back and forth! I'm SPOILED BY CHOICE NOW.

@chrispen9 USA! USA! USA!

Hi paid 20 British pounds. That's about 31.50 in toilet paper, I mean US dollars.

Anthony, have you tried playing the game on a NTSC C64 yet?

[cyde79]

I wonder how much an unboxed copy will go for in about 10 years...

[deliquenme]

Oh real money, Euro's are not Europe Dollars and the Euro is more real than the American Dollar just because 1 Euro = 1.3145 U.S. dollars aka fake money.

[cupididi]

wow a real package, memories coming back :)

[gimpinmypants]

Too excited to play with your new toys to wash hands? Yeah, I've been there.

I'm mad jelly. I love Canabalt.
