Well I received an Atari 2600 for Christmas, so I'm going to try and make it out of Legos, and I decided to start with the controller. I think it turned out really well.
Check out Awesome Games Done Quick! It's a speedrun charity marathon that is raising money for charity. So far they have raised over $100,000 and it doesn't end until Sunday. Check it out: www.twitch.tv/speeddemosarchivesda
New Camera!!!! Canon EOS 1D Mark II. I invited a couple of my squirrel-friends over to celebrate, play some atari and take photos
I designed this using the toy Light Cycle figure + Illustrator + Photoshop for the finishing touches.
I stumbled across this while looking for pictures of spaceships. It's a nice, coffee-table sized hardcover book. I checked out some reviews to make sure it wasn't 300 pages of text and then just 20 glossy centerfolds or something.
But it does NOT disappoint! This book is AWESOME. It is stuffed, and I mean jam packed with Atari art. And not just the box art, but rejected concepts, patent pictures, old promo shots, and instruction book art.
I got it because they just don't do video game art like this any more, probably because the graphics are, to be honest, better than the box art could be. But that wasn't always the case. In the beginning our imaginations had to help out the graphics quite a bit. And this art was there to help fuel the imagination.
If you are into this kind of thing, this book is really worth it. It's forty bucks from the publisher, but I got it new from Amazon for thirty something.
Here comes my entry for round 3 of RogueOlympics 2023.
This time the subject is "Risiko" (risk).
What can be riskier than being a frog who wants to find his way home?
Welcome in the year 1982 when Atari VCSruled the (gamer's) world!
This is my reminiscence to Frogger - a very popular video game at that time.
I played it until my fingers got numb. Oh, happy days...
Enjoy!
