It was early in the morning when I set out alone. ‘Twas myself and me boat, pushing off for new territory. unexplored country abounded, but there was a specific chunk of fresh space just west of my expansive home. I had built myself an empire back there, but the time had come to venture forth [...]
Hit my favorite flea market this past Sunday at Laney college in Oakland. While I didn’t score anything amazing, I did get a legal box full of carts for $30. The guy wanted $50, but I walked away, and by the time I was 2 booths down, he was shouting “$30!” All of the above [...]

Well, that about wraps it up for the ROMs. All has been revealed. I’d like to thank everyone who helped out (Kevtris, Kingpin, and Zylon) in identifying the games, and making them available to the world.

This is Dragon-80. It’s a very playable Colecovision action game. There’s sword swinging and jumping and falling floor tiles. But the loading screen is broken and says nothing. There’s no way I can tell to find out what game this really was supposed to be. Unfortunately, The Sword and the Sorcerer looks to be a [...]

Today, we went to the Laney College Flea Market. As usual. I know I’ve written about the amazing things I’ve found at this swap meet. In the past, I got a Game & Watch, and oodles of rare old console games. But today, I found a never published Atari game. I am not kidding. This [...]

At GDC all week for parties and schmoozing. Above is Allan Alcorn and Ralph Baer. ‘Nuff said! Go look at the Flickr feed.
V took the new Nikon zoom lens to the Oakland Zoo Saturday. 55-200 mm is a big change after learning on an 18-55 mm. The Vibration reduction seems to help too. Observe the above Meerkat, poised to attack and rip our throats out.
