Time Pilot time! But first, during my regular bit of vanity surfing, I found I’m #1 on google.com for “classic computers blog” and #5 for “classic video games blog”. Pretty cool, eh? I always thought Time Pilot was a really tough, complicated game, totally unlike my thoughts on Frogger a while ago. Well, at least […]
I’ve got a bit of writer’s block re: “Car Battler Joe” (aka Car Battles at Joe’s Repair, thanks Richard 🙂 I played that game like crazy for a week, and I think I’m worn out with it now. Quick review – it’s a great game, very much a modern remake of one of my favourites […]
Richard Pepper and I played together at a coffee house in the basement of his church building last night. I played bass for the first three songs, and then switched to guitar for the last song. While switching instruments, Richard commented that I was a “multi-instrumentalist”, to which I replied, “Yeah, *2* instruments – and […]
While checking out how I rank on google for “Computers and Video Games” I stumbled across this fascinating transcript from 1982: fascinating transcript It’s somewhat laughable, but also a neat glimpse into the concerns some had about video games in the early years.
Midwest Gaming Classic continued… In one corner of the vendor’s room was a guitar amp and microphone, and from time to time the “buh-bing!” sound of a Gameboy Color powering up could be heard.

Boy, lots of stuff I talked about earlier has now happened, or is in my possession, or whatever – got lots of blogging to catch up on. Okay, the Midwest Gaming Classic was pretty good. I drove down to Madison on Friday, and managed to go down the wrong highway in northern Wisconsin on the […]
Weird – my blogger.html file that you’re reading right now was gone this morning – it’s almost like blogger went in and deleted it overnight! Well, it’s back for now, obviously. I’m just about packed, and about to jump in the van and drive to Madison, WI now. Got all my geek gadgets – Gameboy […]
I accidentally tried to go to blooger.com today, but stopped myself. Not sure I want to know what it’s about. I’m heading off to the Midwest Gaming Classic this weekend, near Milwaukee, WI. This is possibly even geekier than the Commodore Expos I go to, but I’m not sure. I’m really looking forward to going […]
I play too much video game hockey. It’s been a ten year addiction, introduced by my friends Victor Wong and Dean Barker. Most of the hockey has been played on the Sega Genesis with EA’s NHL series of games. I briefly played with NHL ’94, then joined in the competitions hosted by Victor, working our […]
I wonder what it looks like when I post twice in a day? Anyway, I think I’m finally going to buy a Gameboy Advance. I have the original Gameboy from 1989, a Pocket Gameboy I bought around 1996 or so (I should look into when it was released) and a Gameboy Color from around 1999 […]
