Pictures from Seattle's Classic Gaming Weekend

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-fun-to-check-out dept.

Cyberroach has pictures from last week's Classic Gaming Weekend in Seattle. The pictures include an "Obsolete Media Festival" with a guy who makes music with an Atari 2600, Commodore C64, and a dot-matrix printer; old hardware from the NorthWest Classic Gaming Enthusiasts' Meeting; and the 6th Annual Atari Championship.

    Pictures? I think I'd rather have Mp3's of a guy who makes music with an Atari 2600, Commodore C64, and a dot-matrix printer. .....Well, perhaps not.

      Wait til that little pacifist turd Moby gets a load of this. We'll be hearing old negro spirituals sung over beats made from Swordquest sound effects.

    They should of used one of the C-64's instead of IIS. It might of stood up to the slashdotting (@ 15 comments???) better. I know my TI-99/4A could handle that many BBS users back in the 85. How Far we've come... *sigh*

    Retro? These seem like the latest techniques in avant-garde electronic music. Maybe this guy should adorn himself in Marc Jacobs clothing and send off a demo to Warp Records.
