Room 34 Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Hey guys... it's looking like I probably won't be able to make it... the baby's been very demanding lately and I think my wife needs a break before she loses her mind. So I will probably spend all night tomorrow night with the baby on my lap, trying to solve Pitfall Harry's latest challenge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Mitchell Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 We had a nice little meeting at my house last night .. Dennis Debro (Climber 5) helped haul my family desktop down to the basement where we set it up beside my custom modified 2600 so we could play all the BINs on the Cuttle Cart. Most interesting was playing Eric Ball's latest SKELETON+ in stereo! .. and all of Thomas Jentzsch's hacks .. Brian Watson (POKER SQUARES) came by later and we talked until 2am. BTW: Poker Squares is awesome on the 2600! All we did was play 2600 games and Vectrex demos and games. We did not touch any of the other game consoles! We did not pull out half of what we could have played/ showed off! That will have to wait until next time! Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEBRO Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Rob showed us a lot of his hardware mods. Dr. Frankenstein had a lot of things cooking in the lab o 5200 interface for 2600 controllers o Speech for the Vectrex o Rotary contoller made from an Atari Video Pinball o Asteroids controller for the 2600 (worked great with Thrust+) o A modded 2600 with too many features to mention o Y-cable splitters o Single paddle controller to play Video Olympics as a one player game and others I can't recall right now We spent a lot of time playing 2600 games. Rob smoked me in Indy500 I had never played the game before. It was a lot of fun playing with another player. Skeleton was a treat playing in stereo. This was a great feature. I could actually here where the Skeleton was located. We didn't spend a lot of time eating because we spent most of the time playing games. As Rob mentioned we played a lot of Thomas' hacks. While playing the Missile Command TB (which is great) we noticed a change in the graphics Oh if you were too late and couldn't get a copy of Protector for the Vectrex (like me), then kick yourself. This game is phenomenal. Rob also showed off his Thrust skills. I had never seen anyone get as far as he did on the VCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legeek Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Hey guys! Sorry I missed it! It was a case of family being in town and wanting to be in two places at once Sounds like you had a blast. I'll have to blow off family for the next one! Cheers, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted May 19, 2003 Author Share Posted May 19, 2003 Rob smoked me in Indy500 I had never played the game before. It was a lot of fun playing with another player. Remember .. I gave you a spare copy of Indy 500 so you can brush up on your skills! (There was one photo finish race game where you won by a nose!) Plus these guys got to see my video game storage chamber: the 50's era Bomb Shelter! Ben and Todd: Next time! Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEBRO Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Remember .. I gave you a spare copy of Indy 500 so you can brush up on your skills! You just wait until next time (There was one photo finish race game where you won by a nose!) The game finished with a photo finish. My car "barely" crossed the finish line before Rob's and the game ended. We were making so much noise we almost missed Brian ringing the door bell. Plus these guys got to see my video game storage chamber: the 50's era Bomb Shelter! There was some impressive stuff in there. I also found out sho I had been competing against at the GoodWill on Cobb Parkway Ben and Todd: Next time! Yeah, and I'll take you on in Indy 500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
