Hi everyone,

I'm Andrew, currently living in London, UK.  Growing up in the 80's my first machines were the Atari 2600, 7800 Amstrad CPC 464 and ZX Spectrum along with many a £1.99 budget game from John Menzies or Boots :) In the 90's I moved up to the Sega Megadrive, Amiga 500, and was one of the few people on the planet who bought the GX-4000.

I now produce indie games for retro consoles and computers, and am also into collecting retro games and hardware.

Thanks,

I also have a few other games in development that I'll be posting soon.

Am looking into releasing cartridges, but the challenge seems to be getting good quality mega drive cart donor shells at a decent price.

Just a thought here, and it could be a complete shot in the dark, but have you heard of the retro game developer Super Fighter Team? They've been making new Genesis/MD games for years now, and given the quantities they sell I would assume they are not using donor carts but instead had a mold produced to make their own carts. Here's their website http://www.superfighter.com/index.html (http://www.superfighter.com/index.html) Maybe if you contacted them they would be willing to sell some cartridge shells? There's actually an interview with the owner of the company here http://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/http:/ ... t=1.  (http://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/http://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1. ) Again, I have no idea if he would go for that but it wouldn't hurt to ask :)

Thanks for the tip-off.  Their products are very professional looking.  Will definitely be worth a look.
