Shannon's Blog - Video of awecades unit up on Youtube

[RSS Bot]

ok! Here it is a short video (5:20) of the awecades unit powering up as well as me showing the menu and playing a few games.

Any video artifacts you see like the vertically scrolling bar, moire patterns are the result of recording a monitor with a digital video camera. They do not exist in real life. It happens in all movies/tv shows, just watch them.

 

Sound... It turned out better than I thought but I may have cranked it up a little too much.

 

I decided to film it with the lights out to reduce glare and reflections. Nothing like seeing a floating hand and camera in the reflection of the monitor.

 

I was operating and playing the games with one hand while holding the camera with the other. I do not suck that bad in real life!!

 

I specifically chose games that can be played with the spinner (Asteroids, Tempest) and trackball (Missile Command). 2600 Asteroids and Adventure were just a bonus!

 

I think that about covers it. Here is the video of the awecades unit in action!

 

Hope you enjoy it.
