Ok, here's some of my pictures I took at PC5, I have video's but no hosts for them, plus they need to be flipped, check the other topic I made.

Varkon.jpg

The first picture is Varkon, it's a pinball machine, but it's backwards, and displayed on a mirror so it looks like your playing it on screen. You have to see this to beleve it! (I have 2 videos of this)

TheBrownBox.jpg

Every person should know what this is. This is a repoduction of the BrownBox, the first video game. It was so awesome to be able to play it, a shame so many people just walked past it.

NickNputer.jpg

This is me next to the mainframe computer Atari used to make the 2600 games on. I'm 6'2 and this thing has less memory then proubly a GameBoyAdvance, hard to beleve we can do this on smaller computers now.

Nintendo3.jpg

There's Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong JR all there lined up in a row. But I said, "were the hell is Donkey Kong 3?!"

DK3.jpg

Well, it was at the rest stop on the way home! What are the odds? I think this must be the third Donkey Kong 3 game I have played in my life.

skydiver.jpg

Here's a cool older game called Skydiver. The controller was a metal handel like a rip cord. You pulled up on it and you could move your character by going left or right.

Gorf.jpg

Here's Gorf. I've heard about this game, but never played it. Think if Galexan, Space Invaders and any other old 80's shooter had a threesome and this is the child. Awesome game, I loved it so much, I got the 2600 verson!

Well that's about alot of the pictures of the obsure games, I don't think you need to see pictures of StarWars and Zaxxon.

Till next year! Have a good one!

Sweet pics Yuckmud. It was a great time, even if there wasn't much NEO gaming to be had.

Very cool! I think I read about this annual convention or one just like it. If there's anything like that near Michigan, I'd be there in a heartbeat.

Cool pics man. Thanks for sharing the goodness :D :drool_2:. I am a little concerned that you actually cared that Donkey Kong 3 was missing, but to each his own I guess :D.

Nice!

That would've been so fun.

Do want that picture of you and the mainframe in the Photo Album? it would be a nice picture with that info.

If so, PM me.

Heh, now I feel kinda dumb, I was talking to you for a few minutes and didn't even realize it.:emb:

Great pics though, especially the 3 Nintendo cabs with the artwork.

I think I ended up getting the high score there on Q-Bert, and somehow racked up a score of 922200 in Duck Hunt, even though I haven't played it in about 10 years.:D
