Denial

My backlog of classic gaming and computing projects is at least a decade long. I would happily buy one of these in a simple case for 20-30 Euros. So that's 1 potential buyer

The Vectrex is one of my favorites. Everyone likes to play ours, sometimes I think they visit just to play Vectrex :D Unless you are into collecting, because some of the games are pricey I would recommend trying them via the ParaJVE emulator before dropping the cash. I'm more into playing and not as...

Very cool. My cat likes it, too

Too many great games listed. How about picking 3 that we don't want to see on the VIC instead?

My amplified RF switch box is an Archer (Radio Shack brand) with a red LED power light and push button selectors. I have no idea how old it is, but when I researched it years ago I determined that it had not been made in a long time. I bought mine several years ago used and suspect it was at least s...

Measure the thickness of your cable to make sure you have the right diameter. I eyeballed this by holding up a ruler behind the cable. Next I did a search for "ferrite core" on both Amazon and eBay and picked the best price. It was about 50/50 between the two depending on the core size. Th...

I can't explain how video amplification works from an engineering perspective, but I know from experience that my 20 year old amplified RF 4 input switch box does a great job. The catch is that if the original signal has noise (snow, lines, whatever), that will be amplified to the output. I put ferr...

I've heard a few people nowadays voice the opinion that this whole idea of a videogame crash in 1983/84 is a revisionist history sort of thing, or at least a USA-centric event . I am in the group that believes this was mostly a US event, and it wasn't the death of video games "only to be saved...

The North American Home Video Game Console Market Crash was inevitable. There was also Pong Market crash a few years before. These were nascent markets. Neither manufacturers nor consumers knew what was going to stick. Overproduction, over selection, over expectations. I don't think home computers w...

Questions galore :D Are you interested in other gaming genres? What are your favorite games, both then and now (if any)? Did you play many non-AI adventure titles? What was/is your preferred system for development? For personal use? How do you feel about the evolution of gaming and its modern incarn...

I recall first playing your adventures on a TRS-80 Model I, then a Model III, Apple II, and VIC-20. Was the demise of Adventure International because of Commodore's cutthroat business practices? That appears to have been fairly common, at least if the books and personal recollections I've read are a...

Wow! I'm a big fan of your work. It's great to have you here at Denial. Welcome

IIRC, both games were in the same zip archive.

^ Yu Suzuki. Yu Suzuki and his various teams did a lot of stuff right and many of their products hold up well decades later. There are a lot of noteworthy game designers but I can't think of anyone else who so consistently made games I loved then and still love now. Yu Suzuki is the only one I would...
