Trying for a second time here. Here's pack dot one of my other games on the arcade retro clock. By the way that dollar sign value at the bottom is my ether wallet contents. Hopefully that number will keep going up every time I post. Imagine how many j bucks I'm going to get when it converted into th

That is in the works. Right now the ground consists of a line of X ship objects. Each ship has hitpoints, and explosion sprite, etc. Nothing happens when the ground dies, but I plan to make a huge explosion.Today I am tweaking a pacman game. On a 16x16 playfield, it works great. On the bigger playfield

My friend spend hours and hours typing a game into his vic-20. wasn't even english. just assembly code. It worked great until his dad turned the power off. Poor guy didn't have a tape drive to save it on.

That computer introduced so many people to the idea of a personal computer. And it didn't break the bank either. Fast forward to 10 years ago and their introduction of the raspberry pi. Same thing but on a grander scale. Today millions of people around the world building projects with raspberry

On an arcade "man vs machine" spiritual level, these damn programmers made their machines to kill us and take our money. The unwritten contract between the player and the programmer goes like this:"hey kid. I bet you can't beat this game. loser!"When somebody discovers a way

Hey @kernzyp Not sure what side of the "vert" fence you are on. I find myself intro-fluid. I enjoy working from home and keeping to myself, but I also enjoy the big crowds and meeting lots of new people. When I do that I take on a different persona though, a more boisterous and friendly

I am fully against banning leeching while alowing "just a little" or "don't leech too much".There was a dispute against a Contra3 submission where it was quite clear to some that leeching occurred, while others viewed it as "didn't leech too much".Leeching must

We are all going stir crazy I am sure. I don't mind working from home, living in a forest, nice and quiet. But I really do miss going to multiple gaming events like I used to.This guy looks suspiciously like an unauthorized Simpsons character. LOL.I chatted with these gentleman after playing D

When I was there in 2019, it was chained to the floor. It cost 1 dollar per pay, always a lineup. Amazing sight to behold for sure.

datagod commented on blog entry Should all submissions show a person playing the game? in 80sArcadeKid
I like providing as much information as possible. I have a couple of mame submissions that show me playing the game in addition to the INP's being provided. The funny thing with that is somebody watched me playing and said "damn dude, blink!". I noticed that I wasn't blinking at

From what I recall, Tengen was an unlicenced game developer. At the time, Nintendo wanted developers to fork over serious cash for the right to program games. This was supposed to ensure game integrity, but if you ever played Street Fight you will know that not ever game that had this seal was any
