I got confirmation today that the first package (#23) has arrived! Woo-hoo. We'll see how long the rest take.

Got mine today! This looks AWESOME. Should I divulge details, or let someone else dish on it?

I haven't had time to do more than open it up yet, but I plan to spend some time with it tomorrow.

Sounds like mine should be awaiting me when I visit the folks tonight then...

Yep, mine has arrived, #3 in fact. Given I PMed Jeff ten minutes after he originally posted, I'd love to know who has #1 and #2

Upon opening the box, I'm a little bemused why the tape inlay only lists six games when seven were mentioned. Unfolding the rest of the instructions gives enlightenment heh. I do like the 3.5" floppy though, means I don't have to go TAPing the tape to (eventually) include these in the next iteration of GB20 (yeah, I still have a drive!).

Now to go play the new games

Shareware developers would love you guys. Seems like some of you aren't even waiting to try the software (and in some cases receive the package!) before you compensate (and even tip).

The numbers are mostly arbitrary. I made an effort to go in the order I received requests, but then somehow the boxes got all mixed up. So, it's pretty much random. I'll have a few left over in the end. I may put them up for auction to get the attention of possible new members.

Also, I held on to number 1 for myself. I thought I should keep one complete set for myself just for the record.

My guess is that Pedro Lambrini has #2

OK, I finally got a few free minutes to go down to the war room and try out the tape. After completely ignoring the simple, clear instructions to turn off the datasette before typing "run," I finally got it to work right by engaging my brain first.

I've only loaded and played The Improbable War and Ten Ten so far. Keep in mind that I'm pretty new here, I know you'd all seen Ten Ten before me, and that I'm getting my first exposure to our fearless leader's programming style.

So I hope you'll forgive me if I gush a little, but Jeff, I love how your brain works, man.

These games are so simple, but so engrossing, they're aesthetically clean and sharp, and the two I've played so far are completely addictive. Ten Ten should be a Flash game on Facebook, or something - more people need exposed to it.

I'm still slowly plugging away at my own game projects on the TI 99/4A (with hopes to port them to the Vic later), and just playing your games for a little bit has made me rethink my approach and look for simpler, more elegant ways to achieve the same goals. You're like some kind of BASIC Zen master.

Okay, enough, sorry. It's late and I'm babbling. I just wanted to let you know how impressed I am by this package. Looking forward to checking out the rest of the games tomorrow and unleashing my son on Ten Ten.

I still haven't received my copy. Stupid post office.

Anyway Jeff, those donations were not so much for the DC3 kit as for the hosting of Denial as a whole. Usually I'm very careful when buying or paying for a shareware program. I want to try and evaluate the demo first. Those demos which are too crippled for me to conclude if they will have the feature I am looking for will never receive my money.

Thanks, Keith!

I've also noticed Canada (america's hat) is always the last to get mass mailed items. Europe will always arrive before Canada. Seems strange because Toronto is so close to Chicago. Perhaps we are so close that canadians know to have very tight customs when dealing with their strange neighbors.
