*UPDATE*
First off, thank you to everybody that has supported the project thus far and I really hope you are enjoying the game.

On August 5th, I will be setting up an Auction Thread to auction off the remaining Limited Editions. Any LEs that have been spoken for but not paid for will be forfeited on August 5th and put up to auction. I will also not be doing any more custom characters once the auction has started. I'm ready to put the project behind me after nearly 3 years and move forward with a new project.

Until then, you can still secure an LE and request a custom character by reserving a copy and paying before August 5th NA time.

The auction will be open to anyone that is a member before August 5th and start at $50 + shipping and open to US and Canada. More information will be provided in the auction thread.

I suppose I better bump this for those of you that never leave the Brewery, much like myself.  

Auction for the rest of the LEs is going on right now in the NA Auctions sub-forum. Check it out! All support is great appreciated. Not to mention, you are bidding on a pretty slick looking LE.

Bumping this to let everyone know that I am running a free shipping in the US special. Discounted shipping every where else. Thanks to those that have already supported the project. I sincerely hope you are enjoying the game.

Also, has anyone beat the game and obtained all of the achievements?

I just got mine, it's sweet! I'm surprised how well the power pad works. It doesn't care if the bag slides onto the target or ends up resting entirely on a sensor. You have to hit your target from the throw or it doesn't count. It’s challenging.

I know there's stiff competition like Street Cop and Stadium Events, but in my short time with it I think it's already the best power pad game, ha.

I should really use that as a marketing term.  

Thanks man, I really appreciate it!
Feel free to leave more feedback in this thread the more you play the game.

If you grab the demo ROM from the main post, you can now play it on your PC with retroUSB's NES RetroPort v2! That's right, the newest version supports the Power Pad! http://www.retrousb.com/product_i...

I was digging through some old Tailgate Party dev folders and I found some very early builds of the game. It brought back a bunch of memories and frustrations as I worked through the game. I have attached cornholebeta2.0.nes to the bottom of the 1st post in this thread so you can see what the original concept looked like. I think it is NROM, so you should be able to play it on your PowerPak or EverDrive.

Quick Notes on Beta 2.0
Single Player mode does not work.
First Drafts of most characters are in this version. All poorly drawn.
All 4 Game Types play the same game, 21. So, it doesn't matter what game you pick.
Rules Screen does not work.
Credits screen is just a rough concept at this point.

Enjoy!
