Hi  Folks!

Here it is, the OFFICIAL Chuck Yeager's Fighter Combat reservation thread!  This has been nearly 4 years in the making and we are so very proud to be able to present you with this unreleased game!  A few things you should know:

- This is NOT a presale thread.  No money will exchange hands until after the games are 100% finished and ready to ship.

- The game is made of COMPLETELY NEW PARTS!  This is the first project Matt and I have done without the use of any donor materials.  No carts were harmed in the making of this game .  Currently, we are only aiting for cart stickers and inserts to be finished, and we predict those to be done by the end of the week!

- The game will cost $85 shipped in the US, $100 Shipped to Canada, and $110 Worldwide.  The international prices stink due to the higher cost of flate rate postage seen here :  http://cr.colostate.edu/documents...;
I know it sucks, but it is what it is.  The PCBs alone are almost $25, so the cost has to be a bit higher than our previous releases.

In order to reserve a spot you must:
Post in this thread
Put the number you want in this thread
Put your country it is shipping to in this thread
If you don't follow these rules, I'll have to skip over your request

-  Once you have requested to reserve a number, I will PM you with a transaction with payment instructions.

-  You have 2 days to accept the transaction, and 3 days after they are ready to ship to pay.  Any longer than this, and I will leave appropriate feedback and your number goes back up for grabs.  Sorry, but I've done 3 full reproduction runs in the past with far too many tire kickers.

-  There is no maximum number you can purchase, buy as many as you like.  If you buy more than one, I will charge actual shipping.

The package includes:
1, Chuck Yeager's Fighter Combat Nintendo Entertainment System Game cartridge (Green), hand numbered ____/150
1, Chuck Yeager's Fighter Combat BitBox case with Artwork, hand numbered ____/150
1, Chuck Yeager Wingman pin (included in your flat rate box)
1, Surprise insert with your favorite Brigadier General!

Every game has been play tested by Matt until he shot down at least 2 fighter jets, so we know that they function correctly.

What you should know about this game:

Chuck Yeager's Fighter Combat was set to be released on the Nintendo Entertianment System.  The game wqas shopped out to several major publishers, though none were ever attached formally to the game  In May of 2010, the only known prototype of this game came up for open auction on Ebay.  My brother, BeaglePuss, won the auction for the then record price for an NES prototype; roughly $2,700.  As far as gameplay, there are some serious highs and lows:

Highs:
-  Synth voice that is super cool and fairly impressive for an NES game.  The quality is as you'd expect, but there are many more phrases and words than I can recall on any NES game.
-  Early 3D polygonal graphics.  The graphics on this game are pretty intense, and on those alone I'm shocked that it never saw a full release.
-  Gameplay depth.  There are multiple camera angles you can choose that really show off the graphics, each mission is unique with various goals, you can re-fuel mid-flight which is very cool, and one of the weapons is a missle that you control in the first person that is absolutely epic on the NES.  The game also features a few co-op multiplayer options that add depth.
-  The game is fully finished.  That's not something that can be said about many protos that went entirely unreleased on ANY platform.

Lows:
-  It's a flight sim.  If you like flight sims, you should love this.  If you don't, well, it's a flight sim.
-  The controls and learning curve are stiff.  It takes some serious getting used to in order to pull off some of the missions, so you've been warned!
-  There is some minimal graphic glitching in the intro.  It's small and is only found in the very first cut scene.

The ROM has been ever so slightly modified (thanks Bunny!) to remove some minor graphics glitching in the intro.  After a full sell out, Matt and I will be releasing the ORIGINAL UNALTERED ROM for FREE for everyone to download and enjoy!

Shoutouts:

Dain:  Thank you so much for creating this amazing site.  Without you and this site, there are many, many protos that NEVER would have gotten released.  You're an amazing guy and a great friend!
Bunny:  Thanks so much for looking through the ROM, making some tweaks, and helping us see this through to the end.  We owe you BIG time!
fsped09:  Thanks for the incredible artwork.  This game is going to get a full polished release 20 years after it was forgotten and you really made it pop.
Hybrid:  Thanks so much for your play testing and support!  Without you picking it apart I don't know if we ever would have reproducted it.
This great community and all the people that have made this game possible!

I think that's pretty much it.  If you have any questions/comments/concerns, please let me know!

14 lol

19 please! US, of course.

Congrats being almost done! I don't care about which number so feel free to swap if someone else needs it.

In that case may I have #6? In USA also

If not I will take #20!

Sorry duder, the 1st 10 are reserved for LE's.  11-150 are the normal version.  I should mention that

Ok looks like I will be taking #20 instead

I'll take number 100 shipped in the US of A.

No chance at LE's for us common folk?

Oh, it'll happen, we just need some time

I would have held out for an LE but seeing how much the Study Halls went for I don't think I can even afford one!

Sounds good!

Lowest #

Edit: Looks like #21,    thx man!

Double Edit: USA

Well, you're still in luck.  Many of the LE's will be given away through contest and such.  I don't know how many will actually go up for sale per say.

Soooo stoked for this, been waiting a long time!!

#80 usa

whered you buy that case from?

I'm in for the lowest # available.

Edit: So, #22 I suppose. I live in the United States of AMERICA.

Sounds interesting

Can you divulge what types of contests they may be or do you not want to make that info public yet?

We have a few ideas, but nothing ready to go public.  We'll update as things get closer.

Man I remember the day Mark & Matt got this off Ebay, I think this is worth every bit of 100 bucks shipped even to the US!  Don't you Jive Turkeys even start crying about the price either.  The quality and time alone to start and complete this en-devour is worth it.  I can't wait to play this game and thanks again for releasing it to the community instead of storing it on a shelf.  Plus the generosity of releasing the rom for powerpak consumption, simply amazing!

Skulldeath Out 

Congrats guys! It looks amazing!!

Er, I'm in the the US btw

Ya I meant swapping between LEs, not giving that up

I'm in 27 if available if not any will do US
