What is Retropucks?

Retropucks is the first crypto gaming project that uses NFTs as virtual game cartridges. Gamers can buy our limited edition NFT game cartridges from Opensea and once they connect to the Retropucks game app, the app will check the player’s Metamask wallet to determine which game(s) that the user is eligible to play.

Our First Game

Our first game is called SHILL WARZ, and is inspired by one the most popular arcade games in the 1980s, Galaga, but with a CRYPTO vs FIAT theme. In SHILL WARZ, the player assumes the role of the USS FIAT, one of the last bastions of hope for the fiat hegemony, whose mission is to defend the planet from hordes of crypto tokens and Twitter influencers who are trying to create a decentralized world.

How do the NFTs work?

There will be 6 different versions of the NFT game cartridges with a total supply of 5,100 NFTs. Five of the NFT cartridges show the USS FIAT space fighter battling 5 different CT (Crypto Twitter) influencers and their respective tokens. These NFTs will have a supply of 1,000 each. There will also be one ultra rare NFT, with only a 100 mintable supply, showing a Chinese Yuan spaceship blasting a mystery influencer.

Not only do each of the 6 NFTs have unique designs, the versions of SHILL WARZ you play will be different depending on the NFT you own. There are 11 influencers per version of SHILL WARZ. Ten top CT influencers and a final boss influencer. The boss influencers will be different in each version of the game, for a total of 16 different influencers combined for all the versions.

As a special limited offer, we will give any wallet that owns all 6 versions of the NFTs lifetime access to all future Retropucks games. Since there are only 100 of the ultra rare mystery influencer NFTs; only a maximum of 100 accounts can earn lifetime access to all current and future games.

FAQ

Where does the name Retropucks come from?

We love retro arcade games and Pucks refers to Puckman, the original title for Pac Man which was one of the most successful arcade games of the 1980s.

How did you come up with the concept for this project?

Taimak, our project manager, came up with the idea for Retropucks earlier this year after playing around with some video game emulators and discovering that the bios files required by some of the emulators used a basic encryption algorithm called MD5, which got him to think about how to combine crypto and retro games.

Who are the founders of Retropucks?

There are 3 founders, Taimak, our project manager, Astronaut, our data analyst and social media manager, and Ceazor, our marketing and outreach manager. To join Ceazor’s Telegram Group click HERE

Do you have a background in video games?

While our team does not have previous game development experience, our project manager has many years of experience developing business apps for IOS and Android. We also love classic arcade games and have collected them our entire lives and want the games we create to be respectful tributes to the games we grew up with. We are also DEFI OGs and love promoting our favorite crypto projects.

What is unique about your NFTs?

Unlike most NFTs which can only be used as a profile pic, our NFTs  have an immediate use case. They represent virtual video game cartridges that you can “insert” into the game app within the Retropucks website. Our game app or console will recognize which game NFT you own and allow you to play the games you own within the website.

How many NFTs are there and what is the supply?

There will be 5,100 total NFTs for SHILL WARZ, our first game. There are 5 SHILL WARZ influencer NFTs with different influencer art that will have a 1,000 mint supply each, and a mystery influencer NFT with a 100 mint supply.

Will any NFTs be withheld from sale?

10% of the collection (510 NFTs), will be used towards marketing, staff salary and giveaways, so only 4,590 NFTs will be put up for sale on Opensea.

How much will it cost to mint a SHILL WARZ NFT?

Influencer NFTs: 0.21 ETH + gas each. During pre-launch (November 1st – 7th): 0.15 ETH + gas each (28% off)

Rare Mystery NFTs: 1 ETH  + gas each. During pre-launch (November 1st – 7th): 0.80 ETH + gas each (20% off)

What Blockchain and Market will you list on?

SHILL WARZ will launch on Ethereum and be sold on Opensea

Will you offer a token?

No. In our opinion, most NFT projects don’t require tokens and we are not trying to do a quick cash grab from our community. We’re planning to keep making great NFT games for Retropucks far into the foreseeable future.

Do you have any plans for future games?

Yes, we have a couple of games in the pipeline. This will be revealed at a later date. Follow our social media channels (links below) for the latest news and announcements.

What benefit is there to owning all 6 different versions of the SHILL WARZ NFTs?

For a limited time, and for only our first game, we are running a promotion to give any wallet that owns all 6 SHILL WARZ NFTs full access to our entire future library of games, no matter how many games we produce in the future.

Why didn’t you create rarities for each SHILL WARZ NFT?

While there are 6 unique NFTs for SHILL WARZ, each of the 5 influencer NFTs will have 1,000 identical copies and the mystery influencer NFT will have 100 identical copies. We made the NFTs for each version identical in order to identify which NFTs are eligible to play each of the 6 versions of SHILL WARZ; which means the NFTs for each version of the game have to have the same contract address. If we added rarities, not only would we have to track 5,100 different addresses, it would be very difficult to know which addresses correspond to the 6 versions of the game. 

 

Also since the NFTs represent virtual game cartridges and not unique art or personal profile pics, we feel there is less of a need for rarities. Most game cartridges that were created in the past printed much larger quantities than the number of NFTs we are minting, so even with 1,000 copies each of the SHILL WARZ influencer NFTs, the virtual NFT cartridges will be much more rare than almost any console game in existence.
