@retroshaun. Yes we know for the delay, really sorry for that, but a lot of reorganization has been necessary, particularly considering the postal problems we've encountered, both in terms of quality of service (lots of parcels lost or delivered super late) and exorbitant prices (especially compared with the quality!). What's more, we've undertaken to change our packaging, which was already very high quality, to make it even better. We've finally received a validation prototype that confirms everything we wanted. So, we're going to say that the games will be available at the end of April, which should be good. We're also sometimes subject to the goodwill of the printer, who sometimes gives us bigger orders than the few dozen copies we ask for... In short, all this plus delays caused by us mean that there have been long delays. So we've postponed our fire to deliver the 3 games simultaneously and save players money on postage. So I can assure you that you can order Relics without fear and receive Demon Fire and Relics simultaneously. I don't think you'll be disappointed with the result! And we hope that seeing the quality of these editions will motivate Videopac fans a little more, because we've got more games to come ;)

All the elements are now in the hands of the printer, and we'll be receiving them in the course of April, with dispatch starting immediately thereafter.
Thank you to everyone who supported us by ordering at least one of the three games on offer. There are still a few copies of Relics of the Mad King and Monkey Jump left, so there's still time to snap them up - you won't be disappointed by the quality of Rafael's games!

RayXambeR

The only thing missing is the interior foam, which is a little behind schedule. As soon as we receive them, we'll be able to start shipping! Stay tuned!
And it is always time for latecomers to order Relics of the Mad King and/or Monkey Jump ;) (Demon Fire no longer available).

RayXambeR

Hurrah!
At last we can see the end of the tunnel, much longer than we'd imagined. But the foam inserts finally arrived this day, and shipping will begin in the next few days.
Very sorry for the delay, both our fault and that of external factors. But perseverance always triumphs in the end!
Don't hesitate to let us know once you've got your "precious" in your hands. I hope Rafael won't hold it against us too much for taking so long, but his games deserve the best, and we've made a point of upgrading our packaging to give them the finest possible presentation :)
Hope you will appreciate these releases, just pure labour of love concerning all people implied in: Rafael, Marc, Côté Gamers and me of course! ;)

Picked up the package today and got the 3 games that was released. Looking forward to try the games tonight, as well as ordering the 2 games and the book that was postponed.

Quick question: Is it just me that got the Monkey Jump cartridge with the Demon Fire game (right box and cartridge label but the wrong game on the chip)

Doug

I got the first three games and I'm enjoying them, especially Demon Fire. Great packaging.

When will the other two games be released?

Tom Beck

I have a completely different problem with the games.

I'm back from vacation now and opened the box today. The game packaging looks fantastic. Great praise for this.
 
But all 3 game cartridges don't fit in my Jopac. On the left side, yes, but not on the right side. No matter how hard I press, it doesn't fit. If I press even harder, either my Jopac or the game cartridge breaks.

Marc had the great idea to use the "The Voice+" adapter to find the problem. Now with a lot of pressure, the games fit into the adapter and then into my Jopac. All games work. But without the adapter I can't get the cartridges into my Jopac. Does anyone else have this problem, or am I the only one? What can I do now if I want to use the game without the adapter?

@tom for me it was a tight fit, but they did fit.
