Midwest Gaming Classic 2012

Yggi just fixed up Pogo Cats for me, so here's a 512 KiB version to show if you haven't already made a bunch of carts with the 256 KiB version.

(If you haven't tried this already, wait 15 seconds at the menu's title screen.)

The menu looks really nice, also the title tune rocks.

When ran in PAL mode however there's a high pitched triangle bleep on top of the speech sample. I don't have my NES with me so I couldn't test it on the real deal.

I have not downloaded pictures from my camera to my server yet. But I didn't take many. Marshall took some picts.

A few people played your boom game. Lots of people liked Shiru's LAN Master. Other games that got lots of play time were Pogo Cats and Mine Shaft. Assimilate was also a crowd favorite. Gotta love a game with an anal probe weapon.

I met the one of the two guys (Marty) that created the original Atari Flashback, where they ported a dozen or so Atari 2600 titles to a NOAC.

Last year I saw an Apple /// in the computer history museum exhibit. I also own an Apple ///, but mine would not power on. So this year I brought mine in with hopes of having the computer history guys take a look at it. Mike Lee (owns the other Apple ///) made some SOS disk images for me. Near the end of Saturday evening I went home to take care of a few things and then returned. When I got back, Memblers and a few others had "did-membled" my Apple /// trying to figure out why it would not boot. We reseated all of the daughter cards, took lots of photos and re-assembled it. That damn thing booted up! Awesome. So that was cool. It was kind of funny to hook my 1981 Apple /// up to a 2011 LCD TV (composite video) as a monitor.

Rizz demoed Armed for Battle which is coming along nicely.

I picked up some more Atari 2600 carts for my collection (almost 300 unique titles and growing).

They like boom? And man, that sounds so fun and interesting, they said there was a bad vibe to it but that just sounds like a good time to me! I hope one year I can make it and be with you guys.

Can't wait to see the pics!
