    Great stuff!

    As I am traveling at the moment, I have poor or no internet access. So I will accept everything I find in my inbox until Monday night. The six entries mentioned above are informed by email.

    Yes, the deadline is August 31st 2014 9pm UTC. At this time I need an email or personal notification from you, that you submit a game containing a description and a working version of the game. After that I will grant 3 days for bugfixing, because experience shows that immediately after submission you will find some major bugs. Looking forward to your submission!

    First I receive all entries. Check for rule comliance will be done after the Deadline. I do not decide alone. It is always a single case decision. And the reason why Amaurote 128 was rejected was, that the code already existed ON THE ATARI 8 Bit. Porting games that were available on other machines (like ZX Spectrum) always was allowed and often done.

    I just ordered two units from the second test batch and wait for them now. Maybe the ECI connector from the Turbo Freezer 2011 will work with it, just from what I read so far there is a chance it will. Have to test it and will report then.

    Yeah, thank you!

    No need to do so as you still have 8 weeks left.

    I think, most people realise that the ABBUC SWC takes place every year and the deadline is sometime end of August. And entries enter late usually. There´s always one who goes ahead and is the first entry for a while. Last year it was Dev Wars by Cliff Hatch. I´m relaxed and wait for the things to come as I know that there are people who code a full game in only 16 hours.

    The ABBUC pages I´ve linked to in the first post should be accesible for everybody, no matter if you are an ABBUC member or not and if you have an account or not. If that does not work, please give me a note and I´ll fix it. And thanks to +Adam+ for the quick support. Edit: Whoa, the first link seems to direct you to the wrong place. As I can´t edit the post anymore, please try this link here: http://www.abbuc.de/atari/software-ressort/81-software/softwarewettbewerbe/1727-software-wettbewerb-2014

    Punchcards!

    You can be evil, but if it does not run on real hardware here (I have lots of it), it will not enter the competition. If you can test on real hardware all is fine, but if not, better listen to JAC!

    Hi everybody, the first submission for this years contest already arrived. Please find information about SWC 2014 and most current list of entries there: http://www.abbuc.de/atari/software-ressort/81-software/softwarewettbewerbe/1727-software-wettbewerb-2014 German/English ABBUC Forum topic: http://www.abbuc.de/community/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8046 I try to keep it updadet here too, of course: Entries so far: Title - Genre - Author Dimo`s Quest - Game - 8BitJunkie Let´s see if we can reach 14 entries again. I especially encourage you to read JAC!s really useful programming hints, which will save you lots of pain, especially when using Emulators for coding: http://www.wudsn.com/index.php/productions-atari800/tutorials/tips Thanks to JAC! for his wonderful support.

    I´ve been there in March and the only Atari related thing I saw was the 2600 at the entrance. But that one was not for sale. But I have to admit that I did not ask them for stuff.

    Xuel, what´s your final score?

    The big advantage of the SIO port is, that every Atari computer has one. PBI is not available on the 400, 800, 1200XL and XEGS. And the IDE2+ does most of the jobs. I would prefer to add the functionality you´ve mentioned by software, instead of creating _another_ device.

    Whoooa? My car actually IS a black Dodge Charger... So, should I go and scratch that wall? Muir is the schedule for tomorrow. Just visited Atari HQ, Apple at Infinite Loop and - best of all - Bradley Koda from Best Electronics. Yeah, that traffic here is really heavy, try starting early tomorrow, currently I stay in Sunnyvale. Pictures later, I have my EOS 5D with me and just save all to a HDD, editing it later when back home. And yes, of course Anaheim. And eventually Mexiko for one day with a friend from San Diego. Time is running way too fast.

    Hi all, meanwhile I am in California for nearly one week and really enjoy it. Yesterday I had the pleasure to meet Bob1200XL, I am still excited. Bob, you´re a great guy. @McLaneinc: Oh sorry, yes, that was selfish. I am single and only responsible to myself. I guess if I were married with children, that trip simply would not happen. But I am not, and so I just have a great time. Will start going south from SF tomorrow or Sunday, let´s see. L.A. and San Diego have to be visited too. I am always hunting free WiFis to check email and such (currently many thanks to Starbucks for free WiFi ). If someone between SF and San Diego wants to meet (I would love play Atari on a real machine again ), just send me a PM, I´ll send you my phone number then. Sunny greetings, Sascha

    Hi there, as everybody (including me)was keen on seeing it, I want to present you pictures of a modded 2600. A friend bought it on eBay from that person that likes to offend others (not only here, he is/was well known in other Forums). So, without any more comment, the magic mod:

    Wonderful recommendations so far, thank you all. I´m collecting. Some hints where to stay for low money (I don´t even mind sleeping in the car or in a tent) would be great. @McLaneInc: After a big crash last year I normally would not be able to do such a trip. But after grabbing enough money for the flights I decided to just do it. Some things need to be pushed to happen.
