New tool for developing homebrew… for your SNES?

Posted: October 26th, 2009, 5:59pm PDT

People are still blowing out the cartridges and gaming on their old NESs, SNESs, SMSs, Genesises… Heck, I still rock an Atari 2600 and a Commodore 64… Who needs emulators?! More impressive, though, is that hobbyists are still developing for these outdated systems. So with all this gaming and developing going on, isn’t there anything to make the whole ordeal simpler? As I said – who needs emulators? Nobody when crazy enthusiasts come out with custom cartridges that let you load ROMs into memory v

Ah, the memories… Founded in 1982 by Jeff Minter, Llamasoft quickly established a reputation for producing games rich in originality, adrenaline-pumping action, quirky humour and digital ungulates. Jeff Minter: de originele dude . Attack of the Mutant Camels! Revenge of the Mutant Camels! De reden om jaloers te zijn op al wie een Commodore 64 had! En hoe blij ik was toen Llamasoft voor Atari ST dingen maakte! En! Gridrunner Revolution !

Tokyoflash ripropone gli orologi geek di Casio

Posted: September 28th, 2009, 3:50am PDT

Negli anni ‘80 erano un must per tutti i geek che, alle prime armi, incominciavano a districarsi tra Atari, Commodore 64 e Ms-Dos. Gli orologi elettronici di Casio, infatti, contenevano molte funzioni rivoluzionarie per lo stile degli anni precedenti. Sono passati quasi 30 anni da allora e gli orologi geek non sono più nei cataloghi di Casio. La società Tokyoflash, però, ha ricevuto le licenze per riprodurre i vecchi modelli. Nel suo catalogo troviamo il G-Shock Dual, il Cubic Puzzle, Il Datab
Gridrunner Revolution – Nuovo remake indie di Llamasoft (demo giocabile)

Chi ha vissuto l’epoca degli 8 bit probabilmente ha sentito parlare di Jeff Minter, coder inglese divenuto famoso per i suoi strani e psichedelici shooter. I giochi della Llamasoft ripercorrono l’intera storia dei videogiochi iniziando con Andes Attack e la prima versione di Gridrunner nel lontano 1982. Il primo era stato progettato per Commodore Vic20 mentre Gridrunner uscì per C64, Atari e Spectrum. La lista di giochi creati da Mr.Yak è davvero lunghissima, ricordiamo Tempest 2000 per At

Art of the Arcade: graphic design e videogiochi degli anni '70 e '80

Posted: September 24th, 2009, 3:07pm PDT

L’ingresso dei computer a 8 bit nelle case, è stata probabilmente una delle più grandi rivoluzioni culturali e mediatiche degli ultimi trent’anni. Iniziata con esasperante lentezza (i prezzi erano proibitivi, fino all’avvento di mamma Commodore ), l’informatizzazione ha generato anche da subito un’estetica forte e riconoscibile. I packaging dei videogames, sono stati caratterizzati da un design grafico sempre più evoluto. Attento al consumatore medio e alla sua età, ma anche (soprattutto
Nike Viral: Patrice Evra goes old skool in new computer game (video)

Posted: September 23rd, 2009, 5:04am PDT

Evoking memories of the Commodore 64 and the Atari, Nike have gone old skool in producing a wonderful new advert documenting the career of Patrice Evra. Apart from the obvious cool graphics and homage to platform games from times before the Playstation and Wii, we particularly like the Franck Ribery avatar who pops up in the international section of the video. Nike’s latest brilliant video, titled “The Game Is Never Over,” can be seen here . ( The Spoiler )
The New Atari 800 Laptop Is Ben Heck’s Most Favourite

Posted: September 20th, 2009, 12:50am PDT

For Benjamin Heckendorn, console modder, who grew up using the Atari computer, building an Atari laptop was a “dream project”. He had already worked and completed 2 of them earlier. However, they were not exactly his ideal ones. He also built a Commodore 64 laptop earlier this year. But the Commodore could never be an [...]
My first “video” game

Posted: September 16th, 2009, 12:31am PDT

After we retired the Atari, my brother bequeathed me his Commodore 64 and his collection of 5.25″ floppies. Few of the disks had proper labels. Here and there you could make out a word crummily penciled onto an aging sticker. I dimly understood that most of the set had been copied from copies of originals owned by my brother’s friends, but mostly, I just knew that they were mine now. Far too much of my childhood was spent methodically inserting floppy after floppy and uttering the magic words
The Atari Laptop Old School Computer Becomes Portable

Posted: September 15th, 2009, 7:07pm PDT

With the new video gaming systems on the market, a lot of us still remember fondly where it all started. By this, we don’t mean the NES, but actually Atari and Commodore computers. These were the first home computers that didn’t take up too much space. Well, Ben Heck has modded one to become a laptop!

Atari 800 Laptop by Ben Heck

Posted: September 14th, 2009, 1:39am PDT

Ben Heck has completed his latest project, and I think this one is one of the coolest one we have seen from Ben to date, the Atari 800 Laptop . Earlier this year I finished the long-gestating Commodore 64 laptop. It turned out great, and looked properly old. This left me conflicted however – I wasn’t a Commodore guy, but I had done a much better job on it than my beloved 800’s. This year that all changed! Someone requested I build them an Atari 800 laptop, and I decided to go

New Atari 800 laptop. Click here for super-sized, printable version. For many years an Atari 800 laptop was my “dream project”. It was the computer I grew up with and thus I have fond memories of it. Finally in 2006 I completed one. You can see it here . A few years later I did another by request . These were all well and good, but I didn’t feel I properly captured the spirit of the old machines. Earlier this year I finished the long-gestating Commodore 64 laptop. It turned out great,
Vintage Video Games - Still As Popular As Ever

Posted: August 28th, 2009, 10:02pm PDT

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! It defies logic really that in this day and age retro video games can still hold appeal, even the generation that was brought up with Commodore 64 games and various Amiga, Atari & Armstrad games now use today super powerful consoles. So why do Vintage Video Games still have such mass market appeal?The type of games and systems that make us feel nostalgic vary from person to person, however amongst the aforement
