ed1475 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I uploaded a couple of videos of 2 Adam games being played over a 300 baud AdamLinkmodem connection.Modem Tank can be played by 2 players without a modem or by 2,3, or 4 players usinga modem. There were two of us playing in the video each controlling 2 tanks.The Modem Chess video has realistic sounding speech near the end of the video whenthe computer says "check mate". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Great videos... as has come to be expected from you! Chris Braymen was the author of these two games and he also developed and released the Midi-Mite Interface for the ADAM along with numerous software titles for use with it. He also worked in the videogame industry back in the 90s, IIRC mainly developing music and sound effects for games. I'm pretty sure the voice you hear saying "checkmate" is his wife, ? Elizabeth ? and was probably sampled using the Dynomite Sound Digitizer cartridge by Trisyd Video Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klasko54 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Modem Tank was a super awesome incredibly fun game! At the time at least. As you can see by my profile picture, modem tank is one of my favorites. What a pleasure it was to watch your video. Brought back great memories. I wish I could find someone with an Adam, and modem, to play with? Anyone???? Edited July 10, 2015 by klasko54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I have the modem but no phone line. . Guess the Adam needs an Ethernet card 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
