Howdy!
I live in Fresno, Texas, part of the Houston metropolitan area. I write software for a private company in the space industry. Our software suite is used to design space craft, such as
MESSENGER, which is currently in orbit around Mercury.
I'm into classic computers and consoles and have the following systems:
- Amiga CD32
- Amiga 2000HD
- Atari VCS Heavy Sixer
- Atari VCS Light Sixer modified with a CyberTech S-Video/Stereo
- Atari 7800
- ColecoVision
- Commodore VIC-20
- Commodore 128
- Sega Nomad (a handheld Genesis)
- Vectrex
- Virtual Boy
I've written a few homebrew games for the Atari VCS and have a few more in the pipeline
- 2006 - Medieval Mayhem, an updated version of Warlords
- 2007 - Stay Frosty, one of the games in Stella's Stocking
- 2012 - Space Rocks, an updated version of Asteroids
- in progress - Frantic, an updated version of Bezerk/Frenzy
- in progress - "Chun-Li", code name for an upcoming game
- in limbo - "Cat Food", code name for a speculative project. May return as a different project.
- in limbo - Project Retro, code name for a speculative project. I'm a supporting programmer for this project.
I've also started learning Z80 so I can write a homebrew for the ColecoVision.
