Retro Replay is sold out. Individual Computers is gauging interest in a new production run by auctioning the last production version and the prototype. Click Read More for full details.

The clone of the popular C64 action replay cartridge is sold out. Prototype and the last mass-produced cartdigde are auctioned on eBay, and a party is organized from the profits of the project. Lots of free beer!
Retro Replay is a clone of the popular Action Replay for the C64. The cartridge was made in october 2001 at a very limited quantity, which is sold out now. The last cartridge from the mass-production and an early prototype from march 2001 are now offered in an eBay-auction. Since the announcement of RR-net, a networking card for the Retro Replay, we had strong demand for the cartridge, and many people asked for a new production run. Unfortunately, the cost, and therefore the risk, is very high, because we'd have to produce several hundred cartridges in order to keep the price of 50,- EUR. Therefore, the interest in the auction will determine if a new production run will happen:

Prototype auction.

Last retro Replay from mass production.

As announced in the product description, we're sponsoring the "Retro Replay Party", it will take place in september this year. Details will be published shortly, but we can already say that there will be plenty of free beer. Nice detail of the party location: It's an air-raid shelter from world war II, which has no windows. Neither 2000, nor XP ;-).

Truly frightening news, as I have not bought mine yet :-(  I have my bid in to show support, have you?
