+Lathe26 Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 The trick is finding a good "pre-name" like so many of the Super Pro games have, like Chip Shot, Slam Dunk, Body Slam, etc. Billy Idol Super Pro Lip Curling! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 The trick is finding a good "pre-name" like so many of the Super Pro games have, like Chip Shot, Slam Dunk, Body Slam, etc. Hurry Hard! Super Pro Curling is the most obvious name, but there may be better ones. I should emphasize that I've never done Intellivision development, but I was a huge fan of the system in the 80s and I've considered jumping into it at some point. Super Pro Curling might be a good first project, but it's really hard to compete with all those great sports game on the system. To be clear, you've already found the perfect title. And yes, while there are so many great sports titles for the Inty, this could be a really neat one to add to the list. There are a lot of very helpful programmers in these forums who I'm certain would be happy to help you make the leap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I plan on having something...to demo...maybe sell...you just never know...I have the empty cart shells and baggies ready. Will what you're selling involve the underground parkade as usual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefPepper Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I'm hoping to make it this year! Not sure of which dates, but definitely the Saturday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I'm on the fence about going this year due to finances. What's the latest 11th hour anyone has successfully attended? In other words, if I only discover I can afford it but not until Oct 1st should I forget trying to get a hotel at that point? I booked a hotel super late last year. I probably overpaid for a plane ticket, stayed in a shady motel far away, and had two consecutive late night 3 mile walks back after the light rail ended service. It worked out though and I had a great time. Booking early is cheaper, closer, and nicer, but last minute still works. I say go for it! Who wants to look back and say, 'glad I played it safe'? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenetixJ Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Will they be for sale to the rest of us after PRGE? Well due to a rough work schedule I may just debut Jr Pac Man, Moon Blast, a few others at the convention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LiqMat Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) I wont be going this year as I said earlier, but I forgot to mention what happened to me and my wife last year at PRGE 2016. As I was wheeled in (pulled my back out just in time for the event) I went up to the counter where you pick up your badges and I told them our names. Some prick must have posed as me because they told me I had already checked in and our badges were picked up. I showed them a photo ID and they were shocked and issued me and my wife weekend long badges and apologized. They didn't check ID apparently when issuing the badges and they should require ID at time of pickup. The only forum I visit that I mention even going to this event is the Intellivision forum here at AtariAge and very few people know my real name. So take it for what it's worth, but an FYI of what happened to me. Luckily it did not spoil any of my plans at the event and I had a great time. They were very cool about it and I hope they check IDs this time around. Edited August 15, 2017 by LiqMat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Any chance you have a vaguely common name? I find it very hard to believe someone would do that, especially from this forum. But I guess there are assholes everywhere. I always thought you had to show them the e-ticket or whatever. I've never just tried using my name - pretty crappy security if they allow that.

Just telling it like it was. Just the messenger. Like I said, they handled it perfectly, but I think better to tell people just in case it happens to them and it's not a surprise. My wife and I were perplexed for sure since I don't know anyone personally or very well from this forum or anywhere near Portland even though I lived there for a year. It could have been just a random event where they handed out the wrong badges or crossed off the wrong names. Who knows, but it happened regardless.

+Lathe26 Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 Another possibility is that they came up to the counter, got a peek at your name on a list for attendees (or saw the badges themselves). They might not have had anyone picked out beforehand. Just a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just weird and VERY unlikely anyone from this forum would do this since I really don't know any of you on a first name basis. I just wanted to make it clear it's the only forum I visit where I stated I was going. You are probably right, though, it may have been just a localized problem. Still, I thought it would be good just to give a heads up this happened to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
