2600 CONNECTION , OPCODE GAMES, & 8-BIT WIDGETS

[timdu]

This past Saturday, I met Eduardo Mello, the mastermind behind Opcode Games. Turns out he does not live far from me. He expressed interest in reacquiring some of the 2600 CONNECTION newsletters that I published. I still offer the issues in printed book form, so I hooked him up with all 4 volumes ( issues #1 - 100 ) We decided to meet up in person in Mansfield, Massachusetts.

 

I had already met Caleb Garner, who runs 8-bit widgets. I asked him to join us as well so he could meet Eduardo.

 

We met and chatted for 3 hours. I am amazed by the talents and skills that these gentlemen have.

 

Eduardo is a creative programmer who has found an amazing technique to push the Colecovision to heights I have never seen before. 

 

Caleb is an energetic inventor / creator of things with a 3-D printer. He is not afraid to try and tweak and perfect. 

 

These guys are so smart. I enjoyed the time spent with them because I learned a lot.

 

We are going to meet up again in April. If anyone is in the Boston / Mansfield, Massachusetts or Providence, Rhode Island area and you would like to join us, please let me know!
