Justin Payne Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) hopefully someone hasn't posted this already. http ://vimeo.com/m/111865087/ Sorry. Had to put a space in that url. This forum isn't handling that link very well. Edited November 24, 2014 by Justin Payne 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Payne Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hmmm. Weird. I got some error. I'm doing this from my phone so I'm sure browser support wasn't well tested with it and this forum software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 This works for me: You'd think that guy would spend 5 minutes brushing up on history before giving a speech. He thinks Pitfall! might have been Activision's first game? He says that around 22 minutes into it. I wonder what else he got wrong or semi-wrong? I'm glad we have info straight from the programmer about Pitfall! in case that guy got it all screwed up: youtube.com/watch?v=MBT1OK6VAIU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBT1OK6VAIU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr SQL Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Great video and awesome doubleword on the podium! The Ultimate Talk is my favourite as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I wonder what else he got wrong or semi-wrong? I noticed a few other wrongs (or semi-wrongs). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Payne Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yea, does take away from hos credibility when they don't get their history right. If there were only some place where you would just type questions in and get answers. Kinda like an encyclopedia but using computers. Now THAT would allow that guy to have a more accurate speech. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 This video is chock full of little mistakes..aaaaaarrggghhhh.... Can somebody slap him with a trout? -Thom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Payne Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Trout? How specific (or would that be, "spe-FISHic" ). All out of trout. We do have some fresh Haddock or some Perch. Wait, how about some Red Snapper. Mighty tasty fish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScumSoft Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Or he could have watched one of the other talks available (like the vids I linked to) and got his info correct. It was rather painful to watch, he seems very unsure and misinformed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yeah, he's wrong on a few minor points, but he's talking about 6502/7 assembly and programming the 2600 at a general computing conference. I give him a sincere "attaboy" for taking this on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give him a sincere "attaboy" for taking this on. X2! And he made a great major point about doing something in 300 odd bytes that took many MB of bloatware to accomplish with modern kit; even bitd the VCS had an edge over the competition with it's architecture memory wise - 4k games looked like 16k games on contemporary systems and 6k and 8k games looked like 32k games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScumSoft Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I am certain if he took the time to cut out the sdk fat and code at "the bare metal" level on that platform, it's code size would be very tiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
