A new MegaDrive/Genesis game.... Oh Mummy!! Pre-purchase available!!!

[xelement5x]

I don't even know if I'll get the game or not. They didn't send me a request to add more shipping money, and they haven't replied to me when I asked them through their site.

You might not have extra shipping costs since you're already in Europe. I thought the extra amount was for overseas orders only.

[Zebbe]

Makes sense. Thanks.

[Barman]

The website now says the following:

International buyers are welcome, contact us in contacto@1985alternativo.com for calculate the shipping costs for your country.

Nowhere does it say the shipping cost is the same for all of Europe.
The EU exists, but there's no European "nation".
Therefore any country out of Spain shall be considered "international".

I distinctly remember paying one single fee back when the thread started. Is this a new thing that only applies to items sold after debut?

P.S.> Please, do not respond with opinions. Let's keep this facts-based, shall we?

[xelement5x]

When I first purchased this using their website, they cancelled/refunded me because I did not have the proper amount for international postage. They also sent an new invoice with the proper amount and said I could just pay the adjusted invoice. I forgot and the invoice expired so I emailed back saying I still wanted to purchase the game, and they sent me a new invoice which I paid.

Maybe they just like Zebbe, I dunno.

I paid for mine on July 13 2012. I never received any such cancelled/refunded order. My payment to "Fase Bonus" of 28.90 euros still remains paid and on their side. I sure hope this isn't some scheme.

Heh, it'd be a heck of a scam if it was. :P

I paid 37 euro about a month ago, but haven't heard from them since. If people in Spain have already been getting their copies I'll probably wait until the new year at least before I email them inquiring though.

[QuickSciFi]

I sent them a message just after my last post. I sure as hell know I don't want to miss out on my copy after being one of the first to place an order.

P.S.> The money I sent was for when it was still up for reserve. I don't know if that means anything.

[Zebbe]

If they reply to you, please write back and ask them why they haven't replied to me.

[retrospiel]

Same here. Why didn't they write back ?

[QuickSciFi]

All I've gotten thus far is the automatic e-mail entitled: "Confirmación de entrega";

Which reads:

Hemos recibido tu consulta. Nos pondremos en contacto lo antes posible.

Translation:
"We have received your inquiry. We will contact you as soon as possible."

I was being patient, but now I'm kinda pissed.
Due to traveling my mail is stopped and held by the post office through the end of January. Who knows what will happen to my order at this point.
If I had known delivery would be in January I could have used another address.

[QuickSciFi]

Where did you read that delivery starts in January?

[Zz Badnusty]

That's just an extrapolation from what I have read.
Shipping has been taking place already. Though none of us outside of Spain have received our orders.
I'm just guessing that it isn't likely to arrive at my mail box between now and January.
Maybe they have the delivery timed as a surprise Christmas present of sorts

It sure would be nice to get some basic update from 1985 Alternativo.

here's another more recent unboxing and gameplay video

We are pleased with the reception given to Oh Mummy Genesis. To be honest, we did not expect to have so much support from you has been great.
As you know we do not make money off this, so we can only spend our free time.
We are happy to keep getting so many bookings for the game, because it assumes that there is a strong community willing to support us. But there is a lot of effort, especially when so many games to prepare physically.

We plan to start with the first shipments at the end of this month, as announced. Shipments will be made in order of booking. We hope to meet all the faster.

All bookings are taken into account (apologies if it takes to answer all emails!).
Thank you all for being there and for having supported a so faithfully. We remain at your disposal
