If I'm remembering he's moving and getting stuff out of there ? Or has the move already taken place, not always remembering who's who some days. August 28th at 6 pm? Nice! I will see if I can swing by. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cx2k Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 Some more fun homebrews, hacks and prototypes that will be available for people to try out if they haven't already done so... Thanks to @ndary for many of these. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I'm getting ready to move and I am finding a lot of various retro this and that. Boxes and bins of it. Would love to pass a lot on this on to others at the August 28th meeting and I hope quite a few can make the meeting. Most of what I don't pass on I will probably e-cycle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: the meeting starts at 6, which I believe is when the museum closes. My wife and I are interested in seeing the museum, since we've never been to it before. Will we be able to access it after 6, or should we get there earlier? Would like to know so that I can figure out departure times for driving.

Would like to know so that I can figure out departure times for driving. The meet-up is being held in our classroom which is inside the museum, so Yes, the museum will be available for people to check out. While I listed 6 as the start time, I envision that people will be setting up their buy/sell/trade stuff and wanting to look around the museum, so actual meeting might start at 6:30 or 7. Since it's our first one, we'll be really flexible to see what works best. P.S. There is no museum charge for people coming to the meet-up obviously so if you'd like to get here a little early like 5 or 5:30, just tell them you're here for the meet-up.

I'll be looking for feedback from the attendees as to how often they'd like to meet. Maybe quarterly, who knows? Really depends on interest.

I would like to see some of the art you did while you were doing that during your time with AAAUA and after. Atariart, that could be a whole sub-section of a future meeting. Love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cx2k Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) Yet another update... Rebecca Heineman, author of Racing Destruction Set and Mindshadow for the Atari 8-bits will be joining us at the meet-up and will be happy to talk about her work which goes way beyond these two titles. Becky was the 1980 National Space Invaders Champion and has been developing games for over 35 years. The list of games she worked on is huge and though this list is probably incomplete, you can see some of her titles here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_Heineman#Games Edited August 19, 2021 by cx2k 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cx2k Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 More updates... Just confirmed that the amazing Jennell Jaquays will be attending the meet-up. While she didn't work on Atari 8-bit computers specifically (that I know of ?), Jennell has a fascinating history starting with her work at the Judges Guild & TSR. She got into videogames at Coleco where she had her hand in multiple titles as well as their 2600 ports. She later worked at Epyx, Interplay, Electronic Arts and id Software just to name a few. Bring your questions and she'll be happy to answer them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And quote a few video gaming and other nerdom in T-Shirts to look through, most X-Large or bigger. Tell a friend, make the meeting you won't want to miss this, and the awesome guests lined up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
