OOoh, let's make him sing the theme from "Family Ties"!!!
:D Do you know all the chords from that? heehee!! But I think that song is a duet. Who can we find to harmonize with Albert???Unlikely, and I really don't want to scare people away from attending next year's show. There will be no "Family Ties" music at AGE, especially any that involves a singing role on my part.

..Al
even though I'm not going to be going to AGE, but how about using one of Weird Al's new songs for theme music.

well, I think that most of us on the board are fimilar with distella and 2600 programing that it won't be hard to change the color.
(the only programs that will be hard too is the bins that 8k or more since distella only works with 2 and 4k bins)

ok, works pretty good just tried it keystone kapers love the editing sprites thing.
one question though: no way to change the color of the sprite your editing? I notice that the color of the sprite you match(ie the cop hat is
black and if you add to it it will match that color).
but so far it's works ok.
Dan Iacovelli
ps. hack o matic would be good for the playfield only and then edit the sprites using your program it will make a good combo.

I just put up a Pr about putting Ad's in the VGS program at the VGS website.(I didn't really want to post here because it doesn't matter here but figured to post a mention about it).
Dan Iacovelli
(look for announcemt about VGS happenings(inlcuding a new type of quiz show I'm planning to do for the show) in few weeks.
-
so you can only hack bins that have AHD files.
is there a way to make AHD files.
Dan Iacovelli
(at least I still have hackomatic that works pretty well)
-
how big of file can you use to your hack program?
is it jusk for bin files that are 2 k and 4k?
I tried using it on tempest 2600 but it won't load it give me invalide file.
Dan Iacovelli

good luck at the show and have fun.
Dan Iacovelli
(ps. if anybody is going to a report on the show e-mail a copy of it
so I could put in the atari zone newsletter and in the final jagfest issue)

Well I went to CGE twice 2000 and 2002 and I had fun both times.
where else do you get to see programers from yesteryear and play arcaeds like tempest or major havoc.
in the words of Jim Ross: "CGE is the granddady of all of gaming trade shows".
it will be worth the trip.
Dan Iacovelli

thanks inky for the that post:
he could also check down the events page
and look for the The video game summit topic.
(btw: keep looking at thst topic I should have news soon about

Gustar (Mat),
For the record I brought most of my Jaguar games including tempest 2k
but the thing is I wanted to show protector SE so people could enter the tourney (like I did for robosquash). thats why I stayed by my table mostly if somebody asked if I got a certine game I'll just check in my bag and if I do I'll put in.(I also msot of my CD games too(I also had native up for while too))
as for the VGS show: the lynx display will be big (unless Tom L has other plans ) and I'll have inky helping out at my table and bohus will be showing off some of his stuff also. (any help is welcomed though)
Dan Iacovelli

I too was also there.
I showed BI/WN(I didn't have instuctions but it went ok)
Played Primal age on my Jaguar Cd.
Matthew baker (gustar) won the AUN t-shirt playing robosquash comlynxed against me(other people played also but didn't have their name entered)
He also won the Protecor SE tournery (but since I figured that I'm doing the same tourney for VGS, I' figured to carry the tourney to VGS,so if didn't have a chance to win a AUN shirt you get chance at VGS)
What was that music coming from the Jagfest section? It was Weird Al yankovic I had a chance to play both Weird Al CD's (Running with scissors and poodle hat (I played the saga begins and about the pentiums from RWS CD and I played all the way through on the PH CD)
there wasn't any Jag net happing(not enough jags was available)
and we only could comlynx roboquash since that was the only game
that one person gave me with with lynx that I had( thanks torgo).
I couldn't play any thing in the museum or anywere else since I had to be by my stuff most of the time with nobody else to help)
Over all the jagfest area was pretty good turn out I also had the pleasure
to sit next to terrence willams showing off mad bodies and gorf pluz both cool games.
The Us Tour contiues next month at VGS, in lombard,IL
hope to see you there.

I was going through my jaguar stuff I'm bringing to MWC and I came across an newsletter that atari made in sept. '93 called Cat Rap.
what it was actually a newsletter that was sent out to stores and developers I believe. does anybody else have this newsletter or
am I the only one who has it(thanks to connections with atari back in 90's)
Dan Iacovelli
(Ps. I'm going be bringing it to MWC and VGS for those who want to see it)

The photos of the room are very misleading, actually there is plenty of space in that room for tables along the perimeter of the walls and even in the center of the room. The total area of that room is over 1,400 sf which is exactly the size I had in mind for this being a first time show. I really don't know how many people to expect but I would like to fill the room. Next year I can locate a larger facility to hold this event. Afterall, I will have more time to reserve larger venues ahead of time.One thing that you must also realize is that so far all of this is being done on my dime. I purposely went into this show with no profit in mind. Afterall, if I was interested in making money and not having fun, would I have FREE admission to my show?

I know that feeling: VGS being my first show as well, I mostly looked for a big space but at low cost (I have 2160sqft for VGS table sizes are 2 by 5(5 feet long)). I have thought doing free admission and charge for tables
but I figured that if we charge low cost it would help the cause a bit more.
again good luck your show.

I'd run it in an emulator, but I'll be able to see it in person in two days, so I'll just imagine it for now.
I think that this year's MWC is going to be great! Does anyone know whether they will have the great big museum again this year like last year?
Check out the MWC website and thier forums.
(you meanwe get to talk to each other before VGS(I'm going be to MWC this year as well)
rob, I checked out on pcaewin: looks great hope to see it at VGS as well.
Dan Iacovelli
-
your site look good, and I wish you luck on your show.
looking at the confrece room layout and details it looks kind of small to me.
Dan Iacovelli
ps. thanks for the plug for VGS(if you wanted to use the VGS graphic instead of the Word art graphic let me know)
