+SpiceWare Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Panel videos are showing up here. Watched a bit of The Story of Q*Bert last night, didn't know about Faster Harder More Challenging Q*Bert prototype. The ROM's been released for use with MAME, though you'll have to find it as it's not with the other free ROMs on the MAME site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I knew about FHMC Q*Bert back in my MacMAME days. But I was always pretty terrible at Q•Bert, so I didn't need it. Looking forward to watching some of the panels though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gauauu Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I was bummed that so many of the questions on the homebrew panel were just directed at Howard. I would have loved to hear more from you guys -- Howard had his own talk later :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
