Albert Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Where did you get the perfect-length curtains (made them, I guess you can sew) and how did you attach them to the tables, so perfectly? Bravo!! These were provided by the facility (and paid for by the Classic Game Fest), so I did not have to do anything as far as the skirts and linens for the tables are concerned. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhmrules Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Lord British doesn't have a British accent! I noticed that. Of course, who he was didn't really hit me until the end of the first day. I was just derping around. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Looking at those videos reminds me of the trade shows I go to at work...only way, way more fun. Why won't anyone pay me to go to a classic game fest?? But seriously, thanks for posting the videos, Al! It was nice to see what it was like.

PacManPlus Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 There's a cool bug that someone found in 'Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest' that went undiscovered until yesterday: On the very first level in the very beginning, if you left the first rock just barely sticking out of the left side of the screen and then time a jump so that you reach the left edge of the screen at the same time you hit the rock, the Bentley will disappear off the screen, and you will get a 'tour' of level 1-1. Unfortunately, Bentley will never reappear, so you've lost that life. I guess I should probably fix it, but on thinking about it, I kind of like having that there. Not sure what I will do yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Did anyone have problems starting Draker Quest? I've realized I should of programmed the left fire trigger as well to start the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Yeah, check out that Donkey Kong! We did what Activision don't! Let the sprite multiplexer go for it at the top. The player you control is Player0, all the other objects are Player1. You can't show how it looks -- it doesn't record well; You really have to play it on a CRT or Stella w/ phosphor on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neotokeo2001 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Next year's show, July 30-31, 2016, is going to be nearly double the size. This year's show occupied 25,000 square feet of space, and next year's show will fill 45,000 square feet. The aisles will be larger, for one thing, so it will be (hopefully) easier to navigate through the crowds. It was staggeringly packed for most of the day Saturday. There will also be two stages, one for bands and one for presentations. ..Al I will make it next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
