I decided to get the Intellivision out of the garage because it’s been cold and I wanted to see if it still worked okay. Right now on the floor of my room is a Saturn, a Channel F, a GameCube, a Dreamcast, 2 Atari 2600s (I need to put one away), a 7800, an Intellivision 2, and an N64. So about half...

There’s a saying which goes something like progress is seldom made in a straight line - which basically means you can’t really anticipate what you need to do until you’ve started. But if you’re wise you’ll minimize your losses. For me that means spending time rather than , which is why I am...

Today, I made imaginary covers of Bubsy 3 No More Mr. Nice Guy for Sega Genesis, Sony PSX (PS1) and for Sega Saturn. This was an actual game project back in the 90s. Read more about it in this link: https: bubsy.fandom.com wiki Bubsy 3 (Credit me, if you’ll my pictures)

This is not my usual blog entry. This is more of a CHEAT SHEET to links that can be hard to find of downloadable books, manuals, keyboard strips, reference cards, etc. Clicking on the links will take you to the message where the item is available for download. 3D PRINTER FILES 32K & TIPI Case...

I have yet to input music into the MIDI MUSIC SYSTEM (MMS) software and have it correct the first play through. I can hear the error as it is played but MMS gives no indication of which measure it might be in. One solution requires an Arduino, MIDI shield with a THRU port, and numeric display. ...

Got 600?

So collecting everything Bubsy got me started on collecting the E3 and video game promotion enamel and metal pins. Then while see what Zool had out there (having found about all I could for Bubsy) I found the Zool: Ninja of the Nth Dimension pin (Update hours later...) There is a...

Several years ago I rescued a number of old 4:3 LCD monitors my employer was discarding, including several particularly nice 20 1600x1200 Dell 2007 FP. My plan was to use them to create vertical monitor MAME cabinets. But having learned from past projects, I resisted doing anything on the...

This morning I worked on Xybort. I added an enemy ship to shoot at. I also added some custom sound effects. Next, I’m going to work on the enemy ship to move. But I guess this isn’t going to be a very thrilling game. It needs something. I’m wondering whether I should add stuff to not shoot at that...

Don’t let the cuteness fool you

There are two different Quiz Wiz consoles. I discovered this when I tested the one I got in the mail today. There is a difference between the two. The answers are announced differently in the sound. One has a sound effect for number presses, and the other one doesn’t. Later Quiz Wiz cartridges are...

You don’t have to mod your Cube, but there are still a few steps to follow

Began work on the main game. I had quite the problem with the title screen code when I updated it to make it go to the in-game bank. But I think I fixed it. But it took an extra hour or so trying to figure out what was wrong, and I never did figure it out, but I did fix it. I made it so when fire...

Some days ago, I asked Mark Eyles through E-mail about Bubsy 3. At first, he thought I meant Bubsy 3D. So he said that he wasn’t involved in this and gave me a link to Bubsy 3D page. Then I explained to him more about it and he then understood me. He said, that he never worked on Bubsy franchise....

I finally got the score in the game. I went to sleep at about 11 a.m. and woke up at 9 p.m. And I’m still sleepy. It’s still just a title screen, but it occupies about 900 bytes. So if I’m using stuff like this all the time, the game itself has got to look fairly simple. I think I’ll make the enemy...

The Xybortians in their Xybortex ships are attacking Earth. I’m imagining a Xevious-type game (hence the name) for the Odyssey 2. And so I’ve designed a title screen for my vertical shooter I want to accomplish. This will be a 4k game. Due to the fact that I have yet to work on the game itself....

Spent the first few hours of the new year trying to work on an Odyssey 2 game. I introduced a new variable and then wanted to set it before the game started. So I started out with bank 3, which is where the Odyssey 2 starts out all roms. I got the keyboard semi working, but the switch to the other...

I’m still a little woozy from that doozy of an eye ache I had. Nevertheless, I decided to work on the fly swatting mini game in Frank the Fruit Fly. I forgot that when it comes up, you need to press A to start it. I was all how come I didn’t make it so the hand moves? I thought I did. Then I...

Does what it says on the tin box game.
