Saturday Jun 02, 2018
Saturday Jun 02, 2018
Episode 60 of CoCoTALK! gave us a peek at CORGSCON the Columbus Ohio Retro Gaming Society Convention, and it looked pretty cool! We also got to see a little bit of Nick Marentes' updated Music composer and player software he's working on to add sound to future games.
We got to see and hear from Javier Rivera the "other Apple guy" and see some projects he's working on with retro brite, package reproductions, and more, and we asked the question "Why does the Palette and ATTR command in CoCo 3 BASIC completely blow?" All this and more on this week's episode of CoCoTALK!
On the panel: Brian Joyce, Grant Leighty, Jason the CoCo Man Reighard, D. Bruce Moore, David Ladd, Hugo Dufort, James Diffendaffer, JAvier Rivera, L. Curtis Boyle, Mark D. Overholser, Nicholas Marentes, Jim Brain from Retro Innovations, Rick Adams, Ron Delvaux, and Simon Jonassen.
