Black Chopper Classic Console Adapter to Debut | July 22, 2003 |
|
| |
 Today's classic console emulators are fast, sound flawless, and are freely available. But they are all missing the one key element... the actual controllers! Austin based, Black Chopper Electronics has the answer: the Classic Console Adapter. Modular in design, and OS independent, the CCA allows the actual controllers to be used through your USB port. Black Chopper Electronics will be demonstrating NES and SNES controller modules for the first time at AGE, and modules for many other systems are presently in development. |

Atari 2600 Thrust+ Platinum | July 16, 2003 |
|
| |
 XYPE programmers Thomas Jentzsch and Paul Slocum have joined forces up to create Thrust+ Platinum, an updated version of Thomas Jentzsch's Atari 2600 port of the Commodore 64 classic, which itself took cues from the Atari coin-op game Gravitar. Thrust+ Platinum is now enhanced with a great title theme (listen to it here) composed by Paul Slocum, as well as several other audio enhancements. These audio enhancements add further polish to what was already one of the finest homebrew games on the 2600. Additionally, a new label and manual have been designed by David Exton, who has been the creative force behind artwork gracing many other homebrew games, including the upcoming Star Fire 2600 game by Manuel Polik. |

Cuttle Cart 2 Revealed at AGE | July 15, 2003 |
|
| |
 Hot on the success of the original Cuttle Cart, Chad Schell is ramping up for production on its successor: The Cuttle Cart 2. The Cuttle Cart 2 is a cartridge for the Atari 7800 that allows you to easily load game binaries into the cartridge for play on the system. The Cuttle Cart 2 uses an MMC (MultiMediaCard) that you load up with Atari 2600 and 7800 games. You then insert the MMC card into the CC2, power the system up, and select games to play from an easy-to-use onscreen menu. The Cuttle Cart 2 has many other improvements over the original, and you can learn all about it at Schell's Electronics. The Austin Gaming Expo will be the first public appearance of the Cuttle Cart 2! |
