Andre Lamothe Launches XGameStation

Posted by michael on from the everything-old-is-new-again dept.

TheAdventurer writes "Andre Lamothe, author of many popular video game programming books, has released his XGameStation. The initial offering, the XGameStation Micro Edition, is a retro level hardware platform, similar to the old Atari and NES systems, designed to teach enthusiasts and students the elements of console hardware design and effective low level programming skills. The unit comes with an e-book written by Andre on how to develop on the platform using its assembly language IDE (included) and how to make your own extensions to the device. It is priced at $199."

    Wow, I went to Timbro.com. You aren't kidding. Check out the average square foot per person. The US poor have better houses than the average in most European countries (more square foot per person, higher percentage of appliance ownership, higher percentage of home ownership). Crazy.

    The spooky part is that the US recession years would be considered growth years for most of Europe.

    On the plus side, Ireland looks like the place to be in Europe. They are growing fast and have competitive numbers. Go Irish!
