I have ordered the full bundle that includes the game console and 6 game cartridges from Truman Games. The business is in London England. If you have this device, what do you think of it and the games? Thanks.
The concept is really cool, and as far as I know, no one has done anything like this before. The quality of the games isn't fabulous, but not utterly horrible for an indie developer. I have the machine along with Bewilder, Ice Cold, and How Close is the Ghost. I'll be purchasing Psychotronic Mind and Bank Robbing Bunnies soon and reviewing them on my YouTube channel.
Speaking of reviews, if you want to get an idea of what the experience is like before buying, I've demonstrated the games I have in full. However, these contain spoilers, so listen to as little or much as desired. For an introduction to the system, check out Bewilder Part 1. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZSDVO4YNUPAr7tuUqHLzaxBd3S9FvObc
I decided to order the system bundle with all the games, but it hasn't arrived just yet. Being from the US, the system seems a little expensive for the type of games, but I was curious about such a unique product. I also found out that I had to pay a couple dollars separately later for duty fees or something. It would be nice to have a US reseller for this system and games.
When I do get the system, I will do a video spotlight on it for my YouTube channel, but I don't know when that will be just yet.
My bundle is now in the United States. Asking those who already have one, what headset is required. Monaural? What size plug for the jack on the unit? Can I get away with a cheapie? And where can the right one most easily be obtained? Thanks.
It uses a standard 3.5mm audio jack, so anything will work. Some of the ambience sounds in the games are stereo, but stereo isn't required to play in my experience. I'm pretty sure this is an intentional design choice, since the system is designed to be played by as many people as possible.
