Gem Drop Cartridge

August 30, 2003

When I checked my mail today, I found a package containing a cartridge for the Atari 8-bit computer (of which I have a couple). It was a copy of one of my very OWN games, Gem Drop*!

Apparently, a friend I know (Steven Tucker) from Usenet decided to make a cartridge copy of my game (since he liked it so much), and while he was at it, made a second copy for me to have! Update: He made it using his new Flash Multi-cart, which you can buy yourself!

There it is!

A close-up of the label he made for it, which incorporated a screenshot of the game, and my New Breed Software logo.

I'm not sure where he got the case, but it has a variation on the old, standard "LEFT CARTRIDGE" label on the top, like the original Atari 800-era carts. did...

* Also available for Linux, Windows and other systems, as Gem Drop X.
