Show Off Your Evercade Collection
RickR replied to Justin's topic in Club Evercade's Evercade Topics
Oh wow, another really nice collection. Thank you for sharing! You guys need to let us know if there are any "must-have" favorite carts in your collection. -
Not related much...but here's the shortest episode of TOS ever...
-
The Trek World videos are really good! I'm glad you enjoyed that one. There are series about the ship models used on TOS that are really fun and educational. Check them out! And yeah, I agree with you on Xon. And Tuvok!
-
Here you go. This one even starts with the Wildcats footage and notes it is NOT from Phase 2. And supposedly, this one contains "all" of the known phase 2 footage.
-
There are a few real clips from "Phase II" that I've seen on the YouTube channel called "Trek World". They are short, and you can recognize David Gautreaux as Xon. Mostly, they were testing out sets and costumes (as you mentioned), so nothing beyond that. But they are fascinating to see! I'll see if I can find those and link them here. I've seen this wrongly-associated clip from Wildcats a few times. I can see how people might get confused by it.

How Alternative "Budget" Packaging Helped Keep Atari Developers In Business
RickR commented on Video 61's blog entry in Lance’s Laboratory
Same here, this blog post is awesome. I remember riding my bike to a computer store as a kid. I was a VIC-20 owner at the time, not yet Atari. And I was astounded at all the games available on tape in a ziploc baggie! I think I bought a few that looked like fun, but was pretty disappointed with them when I got home and tried them. Well, the good news was that my disappointment turned into "I could do this better". And the best thing about tape games was you could actually see the source code. So I ended up learning a ton. -

I know, right? It is pretty amazing. I'm told they remove the cateract and replace your lens with a "permanent contact".
I still wear glasses too. But I don't have cateracts. Yet. My eyesight isn't terrible. I can see without glasses. But I have one eye near, one far-sighted. They always joke "you'd make an excellent fighter pilot". One eye on gauges, one out the canopy.

I try to look at things close up and I have to remove my glasses. To look at things far away I have to put them back on.

Very nice to know there is an adapter, thanks! I assume it doesn't work with a front-loader NES though, right? Top loader or fake NES (like Retron)?
-
I'll try to grab the demo soon! Thanks for the heads up.
-
Do you have a Famicom? I'm just wondering if there's some other way to enjoy these games.
-
No, thank goodness! But I'm an old goat that insists on retaining decorum. I'm guessing you're the same, but several of the jobs in my distant past involved wearing a tie to work every day. Well, it's much more casual now, but I still try to stick with business casual at least.
-
Everyone is welcome. Check it out!
-
Oh yeah! G-Loc! Who could resist? Even those silly "hunting" games with the arcade shotguns were pretty dang sweet.
-
Wow, I've never ever heard of most of these. That took a lot of effort to put together. 5 stars.
-
I'm with you on this. Too hot! The next several days are going to be a challenge here. I'm wearing shorts to work, whether they allow it or not 🙂 But hey, there is some solace in suffering together, right? Stay cool, my friends.
-
One of my favorite characters from Voyager. I'll see if I can find a copy of this book. Thanks for the mini-review. PS - the Susan Sackett book has been a really good read. She writes well, and there is a lot of insight there into Gene. I'm very glad to have that one.
-
I don't have an answer other than what everyone else has said, but this makes me think a 7800 homebrew version of "Top Gun" would be awesome. The 7800 could do that game pretty well I imagine. <Rick writes this good idea down in his projects notebook>

A Conversation with Jack Tramiel - "Business is Sex"
RickR replied to Justin's topic in Classic Computing
Same! Interesting stuff. -
Please let me know what you think of this one (if you have time to read it). I'm almost done with the Susan Sackett book.
-
Four more Evercade carts, purchased used.
-
That looks like a lot of fun. I am not in the area, but I wish I was. I hope you'll post pictures of the show after it is complete.
-
@Smell Dawg, I salute you for going with the full boxed copies. Really nice!
-
