Same here,

I thought I would get a payment request by PM as soon as my cartridge is ready  ;:)

How do I pay?


Cheers,

I received this game about 2 weeks ago and gave it a good run.
This is an A-MA-ZING port of H.E.R.O.!!! Starts off really easy but gets hard rather rapidly and the gameplay almost feels like you're playing it on a 2600!

Many compliments to LD!!!

If you haven't ordered it yet, get it!

I received my copies a few days ago  :)
Just WOW! Like Janzl said, it really feels like playing on an Atari...
Outstanding port  :o

Unfortunately, there were no inlays or manuals included. Did I miss something? Are they sold separately?
Any chance I can buy them afterwards?

Marc always puts the manuals and inlays between two sheets of carton to protect them. Weren't they between those?

There was definitely a piece of cardboard in the envelope. Around the cardboard was additional foil, and in between the 2 H.E.R.O. Cartridges. The cardboard was a little wider than the cartridges, but not as wide as the Videopac manuals (at least I think). If the manuals were folded, or the cardboard was wider than I remember, I may have discarded them with the cardboard. But then I must have missed 2 manuals and 2 inlays completely...
Is there a possibility to reprint the two manuals and the two inlays or are there still some in stock? I will of course cover all costs including shipping again....

2 manuals and 2 inlays were inside the cardboard. I will send you 2 others and I will give you the price with the shipping.  :o

Thank you very much!  :)
I've sent you a PM.
I probably was so excited I completely forgot about the 2 manuals and 2 inlays...  :-\

Hi Marc,

can you tell me approximately when you will send the inlays and manuals?
My buddy's birthday is on 23 March and I would like to surprise him with H.E.R.O. :)

This is not cool. RetroGames UK is trying to sell HERO for Videopac on their website for £250. I have only had positive dealings with that shop in the past but this just rubs me the wrong way, especially considering the game is still available for purchase... https://www.retrogames.co.uk/061001/Other-Formats/Hero-by-Videopac-Belgium-MINT

Janzl

I completely agree. I have bought one or two things in the past from them and that went all very well.

This however makes me never want to buy from them agian. I have already shared this on Facebook (with a link to your page as well of course VpBelgium).

Just an A-, that is way too low. So I quickly voted an A+

The Odyssey2 version do not works on VideoPac and vice versa!


EXACTLY 2 years late, I see some available numbers in the Videopac serie. Could I get one or two copies for Videopac please?

I can't believe he's still claiming the O2 has an analog joystick. I tried to correct him on this years ago...
