Tron Control Panel (continued)

Finished up the CPO install, and put the new Joystick plastics on. Installed buttons, joystick and temporary spinner. Going to run Mame on this until I find a board and the right spinner...

Build your own Apollo Landing Computer

Older article, but still kind of neat...

Would you like to own the computer Neil Armstrong used to land on the moon in 1969?

Well, that's possible now, because a geek named John Pultorak created a working reproduction of the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC), wrote a complete manual that will allow you to build your own Apollo flight computer clone and released it in the puclic domain.

My other Blog

Figured I'd plug my other (seldom updated) blog here:
http://redwolfjc.blogspot.com/
Basically it covers anything non arcade related in my life (gotta keep em separated?)
On this blog you may find things like stories I wrote (or am in the process of writing) crap going on with my family, Sports, music, and a bunch of other useless nonsense that nobody will read :D

...And Another Thing

The Ultimate Tron Experience 5 Disc set arrived today... Pretty cool packaging:


Yes the Identity Disc does glow... It's pretty small though, just slightly larger than a DVD/BluRay.

Wait... What did that say? The Commodore 64 is getting a reboot? That could be interesting :)

Lots of pics...

Something's coming:





Had to get the gameroom ready :D
