Albert Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I've just made the commitment to attend this year's Portland Retro Gaming Expo, taking place September 29th and 30th. Lots of great plans for the show, with several new Atari 2600, 5200 and 7800 games available (details of which will be announced soon!) I look forward to getting up to Portland again--great town and similar to Austin in many ways. Just curious how many other AtariAge members will be attending? ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a ton of fun, although it means I will be busting my ass for the next month getting ready for the show!

+cmart604 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Excellent news! It looks like I've convinced my wife to go, she came home with Portland hotel and shopping recommendations from a friend at work. Great to hear there will be some new Atari games to buy! There's a certain Intellivision item that has caught my interest as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 You know where I will be! Excited to meet Albert, Cmart and the rest! We really all should be sporting AA t-shirts for the event guys; just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Ahh, I may need to have more AtariAge shirts printed, I'm pretty low on them right now! Adding to my ever growing list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Yeah, just checked the store and no XL. Anyway, I would buy one at or before the show if available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mxyzptlk Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I will be there again this year. Fun times playing the old school arcades that Ground Kontrol does not have. And maybe picking up a few more rare 2600 titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klankster Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'm hoping to show "Planetary Defense 2012", an updated version of the old Atari 800 type-in assembly-language game Charles Bachand and I wrote for ANALOG Computing Magazine. I added bonus planet "terraforming" every 8000 points (so that if you survive long enough, your planet will repair some of the damage) and when run on the upcoming release of the "Colleen" Atari 800 emulator for the Android platform, it can be played using the Android touchscreen and will submit your scores to an Internet leaderboard! The same executable runs on a stock 400/800, just no touchscreen or leaderboard submission. What a fun job it was to upgrade! I hadn't touched 6502 assembly language in about 27 years... it all came back to me (shudder!) Also doing some cool new software running on Atari "Tempest" hardware with Clay Cowgill of Ground Kontrol. More 6502 assembly on hardware I would have killed to work on back in the day. Hopefully will have something to show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
