Anyone notice that the good old atari keyboard sound is in the menus of Little Big Planet?

you have quite a few cassette games there! mind checking if any of them have loader music? if so, can you share them in this thread?

that's it exactly! :thumbsup:

subscriptions are actually £ 80.00 (~US$128) wish it really were only US$80

What I recall from this game. It was called "something like" G-LOC or G-360. You had a controller somewhat like the star wars yoke controller. It had pseudo-3d via 2-d sprite rotation/scaling and you'd fly over desert landscapes and shoot at ground targets like big spherical fuel tanks. You'd hit them a bunch of times and they'd change color and then eventually explode. Note: it is NOT G-LOC or R-360.

i went this year and got lots of pics.

i have an extra copy. whoever PM me who lives the furthest distance from Redmond, WA gets it

arcades in japan are still quite popular. the key is to provide games and experiences that you simply can't get at home.

xanth computer systems: a computer store in downtown seattle. i used to visit there occasionally. their shop was pretty small. 600 First Avenue Seattle, WA 98104 the street doesn't really exist anymore, in the >20 years since xanth shut down there has been a lot of construction. michael park worked at xanth and wrote fujiboink and a couple other demos. james yee, the owner of xanth, provided the financial backing to bring michael's midimaze to market. odd data point: i'm pretty sure i'm the one who gave michael park the idea for midimaze

picked up 4 complete sets tonight. 16 discs if the salesperson doesn't know how to ring them up, tell them to ring it up as "toy". mine came up at $0.95 ea.

finding cassette games is pretty hard these days o_O

iirc dimension X also had some tunes on it.

sounds like atari used the same music on all their tapes

the tape is stereo. data is played back in one channel, audio is played back in another channel. when loading data, you can mute the data channel so all you hear is the audio track. for games which take a long time to load, vendors would put music on the audio channel so you wouldn't be bored stiff waiting for it to load.

lol that 70s disco music is awesome... i remember zeppelin and dimension X had some pretty nice loader music... classical tunes arranged on an analogue synth. i think blue max had some as well?

anyone else have cassette games with loader music on them?

good old 400s would pop chips from thermal cycling. glad to hear it worked for you. not a fan of the membrane keyboard though. i ended up with flat fingertips from using it so much
