    "Oh hey, it's magically released. Buy some more pre-orders at over $100. But wait, there's more..!"

    A few links around the site take you here.

    Sorry, about 8 years too late to ever get me to open my wallet again there, Watermelon. I only post here because I hadn't seen that mystery link talked about yet.
    Managed memory, in my VDP? It's more likely than you think.
    Expand your ROM size with this one weird pointer dereference (Fonzie hates them).

    Keeping the list of new physically released homebrew games up to date! ...And looking to buy a few I've missed.

    I guess this means I finally get a thread to provide this reddit link to since it'll be a while till I reach 50 posts...

    My pre-order email also came through. I’d forgotten about Paprium outside of checking in to this forum a couple of times a year to see any update on the shit-storm!

    Guess I’ll confirm / sign in and wait for whatever comes next.

    If it comes after Brexit I’ll be paying a load of import tax I wasn’t expecting when I pre-ordered it!!! 🤣

    What in the hell just happened? I just confirmed my order. I'm completely, and utterly amazed that this is actually happening.

    I simply can't swing that kinda money for a Genesis game. Sorry WM, I have to sit this one out.

    Completed my order and paid the 10$ shipping. Let's see if we'll have a special Christmas or not.

    I'm going to make a new game for an exciting Sega platform. Visit my Patreon page.

    To be honest I think he should be giving you a free copy.

    Well, holy shit! Color me surprised! Glad I checked my spambox as that's where WM's email was sent! Confirmed my shipping info and now we wait!

    I'll be curious if this thing works in the Mega SG. I do still have a Genesis 2, just in case.

    Well, at least this is almost over. I can walk away from this and just deal with developers/manufacturers that work with more transparency. We're not in the same place we were when WM was one of the only teams in the business of making new games for vintage consoles.

    That being said, I don't think I can invest in another WM game. Thanks for the ride, Fonzie/Luis/whomever else was involved post-craziness. I hope things work out for you guys, assuming you're looking to make right on some of the negativity associated to WM.

      The game is likely incomplete and not QA approved.

      These parts also hint at faulty cartridges with known manufacturing issues. So they'll be shipping old and faulty items to the investors. Yay!
    That does all sound rather iffy. Especially the part about certain Mega Drive models being incompatible worries me. I think I'm good because I have a VA4 PAL model 1 which *should* be a 1600-xx not a 1601-xx but it will be painful for some people. Either way it does give the impression that they're just throwing this thing out to appease the people who have been waiting for who knows how long, and what they really want is those juicy overpriced preorders for the new print run. I wouldn't be surprised to receive a box of rocks in the mail to be honest, but let's just give this new development the benefit of the doubt. I had already long regarded the 60-something dollars I spent on my preorder as a sunken cost, so anything I'll receive at this point is a bonus.

    Sounds to me like Fonzie hasn't learned anything. Even if Paprium exceeds all expectations and turns out to be an amazing game, I doubt many people will want to go through *that* whole process again. And paying 169+ dollars for a preorder based on a few vague hints and promises... yeah, no thanks.

    I guess I can say this now.

    I saw the game maybe 5 or 6 months ago. I did not play it myself. It exists and it was playable (just not by me) and running on real hardware. It still needed a little bit of tweaking here and there, but it does exist. Now we'll see how quickly it arrives.
