Well I’ve finally started getting the first batch of VCSp Rev 5.1’s made. These are the finalized versions compared to the prototypes shown about a month ago. They include more features and actual PCB’s designed by myself for the support circuits.

And Todd Frye so loved the world he programmed his only begotten game for it

For more information and photos see the rest of this article. If you’d like to buy one of these please shoot me an email. Cost is $350+trade of an Atari 2600 4-switch. I’ve got to build the first batch of about 10 orders first, but it’s good to keep adding people to the list.

Be sure to attend the Midwest Gaming Classic!

Every summer there’s a swell classic gaming expo here in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin called the Midwest Gaming Classic. Taking place on the weekend of June 9th and 10th, it has become quite the show and, in my opinion, surpasses the Classic Gaming Expo out west. Here’s a handy visual reference of the location:


The heart of the Midwest, as seen from space.

The show is a lot of fun with many great vendors, a museum, food area, demonstrations and – last year at least – cheap beer! As an added bonus I will be speaking and doing a panel at the show, so if for some strange reason you’d like to see me “live, in person, one night only!” here’s your chance.

If you’re anywhere remotely close and like videogames you should think about coming. Did I mention the loads of arcade machines and pinballs, all set to free play? Check out their site for more details, and we’ll see ya there!
