    This is an amazing discovery and a unique opportunity to game collectors, players and historians alike. Because of its unique importance to this community, this thread will be one of those very rare "edited" ones. Note that it involves a very dear friend to both our community and our history (Jerry Lawson) and is being administered by one of our veteran editors ("stonic").

    If you're not happy with this process, or the price, the distributor, the 3D technology, the behind-the-scenes details, the author of the games or this thread or anything else really, please discuss it in a separate thread.

    And if I haven't mentioned it lately, I can't wait for MY set to arrive.

    I too was just wondering on a general status update. The ordering page says they will begin shipping in January, does that mean they will start shipping on the last day of January or have they already started? I can't wait.

    I'd also like to see a chart of 'what's sold and what's left' so we can guage how close we are to these being sold out... I would inspired to purchase a few more copies if we were close.

    Stonic,

    This is great stuff! Anytime games previously thought to be vaporware are made available it's a breakthrough for the community.

    One question: According to Atarimania, Jerry had said Scavenger Hunt was near completion as well, so I'm surprised it is not included with these releases. Any info?

    I'm hoping to start shipping on Monday (the 31st), but the schedule might slip a week. Have patience

    There's no "chart". The games are available, unless otherwise noted on the website.

    That information came from my conversations with Jerry (I provided Atarimania with that info). It's not being released because Jerry doesn't own a copy of it, and the whereabouts of the game's programmer is currently unknown.

    Question: will each game come with it's own 3D glasses? Or no matter how many games were ordered, only one pair of glasses will be given?

    I was leaving the house this afternoon and there was a package at my door, which I didn't open. I believe my carts arrived! Now I have to wait another three hours to see for sure!
