<br>Thanks again for everyone's feedback on the Atari Party a while back.<br>I've scaled back a little, and received some generous donations from<br>a few people to cover most of the costs.<br><br>The event is scheduled! On Sunday, March 14th from 12pm-8pm<br>we'll have about 30 or so video game consoles and classic computers<br>hooked up, with 500 games (300 titles to choose from) for the<br>public to come and play, for free.<br><br>We'll also be screening two films during the event: a documentary film<br>made by a programmer who worked at Atari back in the early 1980s<br>called "Once Upon Atari", and the Disney live action / 3D graphics<br>movie from 1982, "Tron". (It will be a rather humble viewing<br>arrangement, brought to you by LUGOD's own video projector.)<br><br>There'll also be a prize raffle some time during the event.<br>I've received a collection of retro-gaming and modern game<br>programming books from O'Reilly Media, three $100
gift certificates<br>from <a target="_blank" href="http://ThinkGeek.com">ThinkGeek.com</a>, and have been promised a set of retro-Atari-style<br>USB joysticks from Legacy Engineering.<br><br>It'll be at the Redwood Park Community Building,<br>1001 Anderson Rd here in Davis. For details (and the huge list<br>of games to expect), see:<br><br><span> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/atariparty/">http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/atariparty/</a></span><br><br>Thanks again, and I'll quit talking about it here now. :)<br>(But feel free to help spread the word!!!)<br><br>-- <br>-bill!<br>Sent from my computer<br>_______________________________________________<br>vox mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:vox@lists.lugod.org" href="mailto:vox@lists.lugod.org">vox@lists.lugod.org</a><br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox">http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox</a></span><br></div></div>
