During the Video Game Night that I hold for my friends once a year (but not for the last two years sadly) it'll definitely be part of the festivities and I'll try to stream or record it with 8 people! Assuming there's a PRGE this year and an AA booth, I plan on attending and will bring my QuadTari (along w/4 paddle controllers) so we can get an 8 player game of Vroom! going. @Albertcan get first dibs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, crowding eight people around a small Commodore 1702 display will be more challenging.

That's nice, especially as it supports S-Video, which I use with the Commodore 1702s (with the split chroma and luminance). Amused to see the Radio Shack name, though! For an eight-player game of VROOM!, I could temporarily co-opt a row of four 1702s, with two people in front of each display. Would need a bunch of joystick extension cables as well. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the categories had numerous worthy candidates.

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees. Most of the categories had numerous worthy candidates. Indeed! I can only imagine how exhausting putting together the award show is. While James was very gracious about the contributions of homebrewers and the committee, the planning and follow-through is pretty much all on his shoulders, and what a fantastic job he does of it. Thank-you James! I'd also like to say congrats to all of the winners and nominees - without exception, I found when I tried to cast my vote I'd struggle with an internal debate on the merits of all of the games. Tough picking when everything is a standout! 4 hours ago, Pat Brady said: EDIT: when you started talking about Lifetime Achievement Award, my immediate thought was: @batari should have one of those. I agree, and It's well-deserved. Fred said some very kind stuff about 7800basic and my work, but 7800basic wouldn't have existed without Fred and his vision with bB. We'd all be so much poorer without his contributions - Harmony, Melody, Concerto, Hokey, Banksets, etc. So yep, while there are many deserving people up for that award, there was nobody higher on my personal list. I'm thrilled that so many people on the committee agreed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sohl Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I really enjoyed the interview with Andrew Pauley on Friday's steam when I caught the replay today! It was great to hear him explain his thought process for using the relative strengths and managing the weaknesses of the 2600 to make a great game with the elements he wanted to include. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
