    So sieht's aus. Wenn's dann nicht im Lager brennt dann spätestens in der Postküche weil dort die Coronaviren mit dem Flammenwerfer eliminiert werden mussten.

    Die Corona Nummer schmieren die uns nun noch bis Ende des Jahres aufs Brot.

    We will start to create the shipping list with addresses tomorrow night or latest the day after.

    Due to the Corvid-19 situation we can't ship to the USA for now with our shipping contract "Warenpost". We will package all USA orders like normal and put them into storage until shipping opens again. We then can react quickly once it's open. Alternative shipping options with crisis fees maybe available to the USA, but seem to cost 2-3 times as much. We don't have the resources right now to pay for the difference. But we will look into finding a way.

    All EU countries, Canada and Japan are open.

    You can find details about your countries shipping situation here:
    https://www.deutschepost.de/en/c/coronavirus.html
    FAQ->Are there any restrictions to international mail and parcel services?
    We use the product "Warenpost" for global shipping.

    If your address has changed since your KB AES CE order please contact us. Changing your address in the shop system is not applied to open orders.

    Kraut Buster AES regular edition

    Shipping of the 1st batch of Kraut Buster AES regular edition starts about 3 weeks after we shipped the CE version. We already have the PCBs for the first batch on stock.

    Due to the large amount of cartridges we need to build and ship them in 3 to 4 batches.

    We will announce each batch with a newsletter.

    It will take at least two months to build and ship them all. After that we ship the Kraut Buster 2nd print and then last but not least Fast Striker AES 2nd print. The reason that Fast Striker AES 2nd print is shipped after Kraut Buster 2nd print is simply that they use different PCB and memory configurations.

    Kraut Buster MVS update

    The final software update for Kraut Buster MVS is available here:

    v1.02

    - major fix: MCU reset bug: stage 4 (submarine cave)
    - added the knife back into c-mode
    - added option to enable weapon loss at death (goes back to HMG)
    - improved character select via button on continue use (A=John, B=Jack, C=Valeria)
    - fix: soft dip settings on Japanese BIOS
    - various bug fixes

    v1.01

    - fix: on uni-bios systems: error message/memory viewer after gameover/playthrough of missions > 1 / on stock bios fixes reset
    - timer symbol ":" blinks if timer is above 9:59
    - reduced hit points of some bigger enemies to reduce coin eating "grindiness" especially in the final rooms of the game
    - weapon "Schrotflinte" is over powered in c-mode. Reduced it's splits by 2 units.
    - demo attract mode sound fix
    - small fixes
    - added secret mask "Schwein" (pig) for a "Schütze Arsch" (grunt) über challenge mode

    Gut, das ich denen schon vor 5 Jahren mein Geld gegeben habe.
    Dank Corona würde ich mir das heute nicht mehr leisten...

    Aber man kann aktuell trotzdem noch kein Spiel bei denen kaufen/vorbestellen, oder? Kommt Fast Striker noch mal oder ist das schon wieder vorbei?

    "Fast Striker" ist durch. Als nächstes kommt "Gunlord X" für Switch, dann irgendwann das nächste Vertikal-Shmup, auf das ich sehr gespannt bin.

    Hatt dich Corona so hart getroffen ? 8|

    Bin Selbständig im Einzelhandel tätig. Da war die Wochenlange Ladenschließung natürlich alles andere als positiv und aktuell läuft das Geschäft durch die Einschränken auch nicht wie in den letzten Jahren.

    Lebe seitdem praktisch nur von meinem ersparten, um meine privaten Kosten zu decken.
    Dann kann ich nicht einfach mal ~500 Euro für ein Spiel raushauen. :)

    Zitat von I hate Choi

    Kann mir nach all den Jahren nochmal wer sagen,wann der 1st print und wann der 2nd print war? Ich hatte im Oktober 2015 gezahlt, war das 2nd print?

    Ich hab am 28.06.2016 bestellt. Ich glaube das war der zweite Lauf. Danach gabs später noch mal einen 3. Lauf der wohl auch zum 2nd Print zählt. In der Bestellung steht aber auch nur:

    1 x Kraut Buster AES/Homecart JPN 429,00EUR
