others' houses when we were kids. You can't beat four-player _Warlords_ on

Yow, Bill! I might come to the event, even though
I belong to the other "camp". ;)
Would be nice to visit my university town,

We've got a 2600, 7800, 800, 800XL, Jaguar, 3 Lynxes and a 520ST
(as well as an Atari Flashback II and TV Paddle Games), which will all be
running simultaneously!
Expect to see Tempest 2000 and Star Raiders up on a video projector. :)
We'll also have some educational displays (specs on the systems,
"how do sprites work?", etc.), as well as some guest speakers!
* Paul Cubbage, manager of Atari Program Exchange back in 1982-1984, will be
doing a short presentation on APX and Atari (before 'the fall').
* Lx Rudis, creator of music on countless Atari Lynx titles, will talk about
his work on Lynx games. (Still waiting to confirm whether he can make it)
* Yours truly, creator of the homebrew Atari XL game "Gem Drop", will talk
about "Super IRG" graphics mode used in the game, and other software-driven
graphics modes.
I'm also happy to welcome other speakers, so if you want to come talk
for a few minutes at this event (or know someone who might be able
to make it), please let me know!
This event is free and open to the public. Children are welcome
(but please keep an eye on them!)
When:
Saturday, March 28th, 2009
6pm to 9pm

Bob Woolley, Atari 1200XL hacker extraordinairre (who also at one time
resurrected the print magazine "Atari Classics") has also offered to
speak at this event, as well as bring some of his hacked 1200XLs for
people to look at.
(He'll also be bringing an 800, 130XE and 1200XL to play games on,
bringing the total number of systems that we'll have, up and running
simultaneously, to 14! Spanning all Atari platforms[*],
from 2600 to Jaguar!)
[*] Well, no Pong, Portfolio palmtop, or IBM PC clones. :)
