My first dealings with Fernando García were related to the port of Gauntlet from MSX to ColecoVision, in December 2015. In June 2016, I told Fernando about my budget games project, which was designed to help my friend Óscar Toledo Gutiérrez with the medical bills of his wife and newborn daughter. While the 17 games of the budget series were locked in, I was still looking to publish a few more games to help Óscar even more.

I knew that one of the MSX games Fernando created was Arcomage, and I thought it would be nice to add a card battle game to the Team Pixelboy library, so I convinced Fernando to port Arcomage to the ColecoVision. The game cartridge will include a savegame chip, because game sessions can get a little long-winded.

Part of the money from the sales of this game will be going to Óscar, so Arcomage (along with QBIQS and Uridium) can be considered an extension of the budget series.
