Yes plz - all variants, if any.
If this will work on O2, I'd like number 8, please.
No 23 please - are there any pictures or videos?
The title is actually pretty cool

The ROM works on O², so I believe the cart should, right?

There is a playable 12-level demo version here: https://videopac.nl/forum/index.php?topic=3487.0 TedFoolery called the demo version a "Nice game." And he knows a thing or two about making nice games...
This newest version is 200 levels of fun with 9 skill levels, save/restore codes, and a game pausing function (because it'll take a such a long time to complete that you'll need to take bathroom breaks).
I just played the demo. It`s really an enrichment for our library. It make fun to play again and again and again.
When this is your first Videopac game, then I can`t wait to see your future games! Many thanks for your work.

Some example gameplay of the tutorial and the first few levels of the game is now posted to YouTube's newest Odyssey2/Videopac channel, here: https://youtu.be/7ugFZP_xCrk
Also, here are some screenshots.

I am humbled by your kind words. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the full game!
Yes, Spyrus is a fun game and also wanted to announce that we will soon have the Odyssey version!
This looks awesome. I really love the way the tutorial integrated in the game. Might be one of the Videopac games with the highest playing value and state-of-the-art game design.
btw, I was somehow thinking this should have been how the Changeling in Quest for the Rings should have been moved.

I'm in awe from receiving compliments from Odyssey2 programmers. I must be dreaming. Thank you.

And not to give anything away, but it's going to be a real nice set. I'm going to be buying both versions, but then again I'm biased. And since both publishers have other games in stock, I'll be adding some other games to my purchase to save on shipping costs. By the way, Sandstorm is still available from both of these publishers...

Thank you so much. It was a labor of love and I wanted to add in as many "modern" game features as I could fit into the 8K program without (hopefully) losing the feel of an old Odyssey2 game. The tutorial was one of them, although I can't take credit for the idea, it was a suggestion I received on an early version of the game.

I based the movement off of how K.C. Munchkin! moves around, minus the chomping. Now I'm wondering how K.C. would fare against the QftR dragon...
I'm in...
I'd love one for the O2 please

#13 please
One for me, please
I've seen all the print material for this release. Everything looks amazing. It'll feel like it's 1982 again when it arrives.
If this works on O2, then I would like one as well please.

The VP version works fine on O2.
You've got #11.
Will the ntsc release be O2 or Brazilian style or both?
Your said videopac version will work on O2. Will there be any difference in on screen colors?
Thanks!

I'm not sure yet. There have been some discussions, but I'm not sure of the answer just yet. Personally, I like both of the styles and would like to see each of them if it's feasible to do so.

I didn't know that there was a color difference between the Odyssey2 and the Videopac until recently and I don't own a Videopac myself, but I think that it was the console that displayed the colors differently, not that there was something different with the cartridge. Hopefully someone with more experience can chime in here.
I can tell you that I developed the ROM and tested it on my Odyssey² using the uSD cart (that was sold on this forum earlier this year) and the colors seemed normal. And I assume the same would go for this cartridge.
Sorry I'm wasn't able to be more help for either question. Hopefully others will chime in if they know more info about these topics.
I can take 2 copies please.
Please add me for 1 copy - lowest available number
Thanks... I guess I'll wait for the ntsc release then, first to see if there's an actual O2 style release, second in case there's any color correction (yes, I meant the slightly different display colors you sometimes get with ntsc and pal...)
One copy of the Videopac version for me please.
Released now ...
Is there going to be a separate O2 release later?

Yes! From Odyssey Brazil. It will come out later this year.
