10 Year Anniversary of the VCSp

Photo credit: Kim Keyes Photo.
Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since I completed my first portable the VCSp but it’s true. Many things have happened since then, including the Xbox 360 laptop, Commodore 64 portable and of course, Possumus Woman.
In honor of this momentous occasion I’ve prepared some fun stuff for our visitors to enjoy:
The Atari 2600 Portables Site – Explore the site as it appeared back in the olden days. Most of the navigation works, so have fun!
VCSp Making Of – The very first story about portables I ever published to the web
SNESp Making Of – A classic, completely overdone ‘making of’ from 2001.
Plus you can check out a bunch of classic Benheck videos after the break. Enjoy…

As someone with a similar hairline… I hope you bare no ill will against me for saying… but seeing your hairline from 2003 really makes me pine for my youth.
Remember being carded when you buy beer?

Sadly that is so true. I only get carded now if I’m wearing a hat.

On the upside, you look more and more like a mad scientist with each passing year. Given enough time, you’ll be the Doc Brown of the Nintendo generation. :)

Hey Ben– don’t forget about the article I wrote for RetroBlast– I was one of your first portable 2600 sales! (I think I was #5?)… :)
Here’s the article from 2005: http://retroblast.arcadecontrols.com/articles/phoenix.html
I have it safely stored away– to sell on EBay someday for millions. As a matter of fact I call it my 401(k)2600.
