individual Computers: Retro Replay sold out
Retro Replay is a clone of the popular Action Replay for the C64. The
cartridge was made in October 2001 at a very limited quantity, which is
sold out now.
The last cartridge from the mass-production and an early prototype from
March 2001 are now offered in an eBay-auction. Since the announcement of
RR-net, a networking card for the Retro Replay, we had strong demand for
the cartridge, and many people asked for a new production run.
Unfortunately, the cost, and therefore the risk, is very high, because
we'd have to produce several hundred cartridges in order to keep the
price of 50,- EUR. Therefore, the interest in the auction will determine
if a new production run will happen:
As announced in the product description, we're sponsoring the "Retro
Replay Party", it will take place in September this year. Details
will be published shortly, but we can already say that there will be
plenty of free beer. Nice detail of the party location: It's an air-raid
shelter from World War II, which has no windows. Neither 2000, nor XP ;-). (nba)
