[It's official... I lost my 2600 game collection :(]

Eek. Wow that's rough. I hope you manage to get back all that you have lost - I guess you get the "fun" of looking for all those games again and slowly building up.

[Original Xbox Popularity Surge?]

The original Xbox machine is probably selling out because clueless parents/grandparents are going in to shops and saying "My son wants an Xbox 1 for Christmas, do you have any?"

 

"Of course we do - here you go!" {bwa hahaha}

 

It is a great machine still however - I have several of them and even was brave enough to update the hard drive in one of them which made it even nicer.

[Wii Fit - Anyone Still Using it?]

I'm full of good intentions but haven't been on mine in a month or two and my weight is creeping up. I really need to get a better eating and fitness routine again.

[YARS Revenge Arcade Machine]

This thread gave me a huge smile as it's me who coded the Vector's Revenge remake of YARS

 

Howard Scott Warshaw gave me his blessing for the remake too which made me very proud.

 

It's strange and awesome seeing photos of my game being played on an arcade cab.

 

Anyone who is still looking for this can find it on my homepage link in my sig.

["Hunt the Wumpus" TI game ported to ZX Spectrum]

Awesome to see another new remake of this game this year as well as mine. I love the ZX Speccy too as it was my first "real" computer.

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

My best recent find was getting Breath of Fire IV for PSX from a charity shop in my village for £1.

[Remakes of old video games -- The TI-99/4A and PARSEC]

There's a Hunt the Wumpus remake here:

Codie's remake is really good. Shame he seems to be off the grid at the moment I asked him if he had any useful hints and suggestions when I set out to remake this for Android.

 

I've gone the more faithful route although I've upped the resolution of the graphics somewhat and filtered the sound effects.

 

My Android remake is just out a week or two ago, and you can find it here if you are interested in taking a look.

 

I did a WIP youtube video of it too, if you want to see how it more or less looks before going to Google Play.

 

 

Cheers.

 

PS Are there any other games that people think would work well on an Android phone/tablet as I love doing remakes.
