This one looks really cool.  It's got the look and feel of a Game-n-Watch, which is a really neat idea.  Plus, the ROM is available to try for free.  And you can get a custom message in the hard version for just a few bucks more!  And finally...only about $18 shipped to the US!    Oh!  And there is a PDF of the box that you can print yourself.  Unbelievable! 

 

I ordered one.  The game is pretty simple, but it's fun and unique, and I think we all should support such fairly priced efforts.

I love when guys in the community create stuff like this. Translating the Game-n-Watch feel to the 2600 is a novel idea. I'll have to check this out.

I can attest that game came quickly and was fun to put together.  No issue at all here ordering another game from Simon.

Neat game.  Simple but fun!

Amazing price! I'm guessing he makes about $5-$6 each cart but it certainly makes wanting to get homebrews of this nature for more attractive and is more than fair.

Excellent graphics, for an A2600 game. I like the premise. Also, you are right, Clint. It is an attractive game.

It came!  That didn't take long. 

 

All the way from Netherlands.

 

This is what comes in the bag: 

 

I chose a Combat with a bad label (and no end label) as the shell donor:

 

While I have the cart taken apart, I clean everything up with alcohol and a cotton ball:

 

A quick test after assembly (and before I put the stickers on):

 

And finally, I put the stickers on using a Yars' Revenge to make sure I orient them correctly:
