Hospitals are some of the scariest places now. You get better help at Walmart. There are some good doctors and nurses out there but there are many bad ones. You really need a 24-hour advocate with you when you have to go to the hospital. Someone who knows 'The System.' Glad you are doing better, Random.

Thanks for doing this. It's amazing seeing Diamond (and any GUI) working on the 8-bit computers. Also seeing the MIDI device being used on the 8-bit is cool as well. Hybrid Arts creating a whole series of programs that got very little attention because of the STs. Looking forward to seeing more.

I will give it a try but it will take a while since I am still working on archiving DarkLord's Current Notes magazines. I have a midimate plus a Casio CZ-1000. Hybrid Arts made both programs plus the Midimate, your are probably write.

Cool. Do you think this would work with MidiMate as well?

I tried to change the language option on the 1985 issue. Does it seem any different.

Interesting. I will try to make sure I make sure I mark it as English from now on in hopes of avoiding this. From the title I thought you were writing about finding russian Atari 8-bit stuff on Archive.

Great looking box, Marc.

I really hope you can finish this. It looks fantastic. It reminds me of Atari's Black Belt prototype. It would great to have them in modules, were each version could be a different mystery to solve/crime to solve, but all centering around the same general place.

Cool. Can't wait to try it.

The Wusdn Eclipse plug-in is pretty amazing. It would be great to use that with 7800basic.

Love it. Fantastic.

Bob's games are like the Platonic solids. We will try to strive for our programs to be in the perfect form like Bob's games but never quite getting there exactly.

Bob must be shaking in his boots with all this possible competition.

I kept hitting the like button but it only let me 'like' once which is me saying I like this very much.
A thousand thumbs up.

This is way cool, dude! Maybe even I can do something on the 7800 now!
The demo you made works on the real system too!
Yup. Just tried it on my CC2. Looks great.

Well, he is a smart man and knows what he is talking about.

You need to look at the new paradigm. Musicians are making and marketing their own music all on their own. Record companies are a thing of the past. They just don't know it yet.(Well, they do really) The same is going to/is happening with movies. The big studios are putting out crap (and that is a compliment). People are making their own films. You should do the same with what ever you do. Companies like Apple are trying to recreate the old paradigm with apps like other industries did. But in the long run it won't work. New industries in the new paradigm are starting as well. What until the 3-D printers advance more. No more going to Walmart for a plastic thingy. Just make it yourself or have a local person make one for you with your design. Eventually it will be other materials as well like metals and super-strong plastics. Things are changing rather quickly and there will come a time when people will be their own industries. No more being taken advantage of by a small group of leeches.
Do some research on people making, marketing and selling their own creations on the Net. There are a ton of new possibilities for people today that didn't exist in the past. It will only get better in the future. The hardest part though is changing your own belief system.
The only downside is that the old paradigm will not go out with a fight. But eventually it/they will eventually be a thing of the past. I can tell you more but that would have to be in private. Good luck.

It's OK but I like the Universal horror the best. It is kind hit or miss the the Hammer horror although I haven't seen them in years. I'll have to rent some of them to see how they have held up over time.

Hey I missed these. Very cool.Allan

Fantastic job, Marc. I love it. I love the block background. I wonder if the 5200 box background could be reproduced? I've been searching for that pattern for long time but never have seen it. It looks like some kind of bathroom floor.Allan

BTW, Allan, hope all is well. I think in a few months I will be having another 'Classic Gaming Night'.
I hope so. I wanted to have one myself but my home construction has taken a lot longer than I wanted. I'm looking forward to some gaming with real people. We should get together some time for some game designing/programming time. I love the week-end programming/gaming sessions they have in Europe all the time. Nothing but pizza and soda and programming and gaming and a little sleep in between.

I think you broke something with the invaders march. They get faster too quickly and then slow down to a crawl. Also when you clear the screen it just stops instead of starting a new round like the previous version.

Outstanding!
I still think Albert needs to make label art posters available in the store... you never really get to appreciate this kind of artwork at 2.75" x 3.375". Fortunately, it gets printed larger on the manual.
Speaking of which... are you going to show us the manual illustrations next?
Yes, I'd love to see that.
Great job. I love that painting. I'd love to see some posters as well.

All of those sound good. I would suggest a couple of 8-bit to 5200 conversions first. Maybe try to do one with Bryan's 256K board. I'd love to see another conversion like MULE.
Continued..
I had some more thoughts on this..
Some games to do and why.
1. Zookeeper on the 7800 would be great and and all the sounds are already done.
2.Convert the 5200 sounds of Donkey Kong and Jr. over to the 7800 versions because the sounds suck on them. Plus you could had the High-score cart code to them.

Life. It can get crazy. Many ups and downs. Especially when you have to be a caregiver to the previous generation.
When you get older it does get harder to do the things you want to do that require a lot of time and energy verses the easier and short-term things. I find it gets harder to resist watching a movie verses working on long-term projects. Hopefully you can find the resources to get back to more homebrewing.
