The Lounge • SEA-CCC #74 Recap

Last night I hosted the 74th meeting for SEA-CCC (Seattle Commodore Computer Club). We had a great time. If anything, it seemed to fly by way too quickly.

Highlights:

One member showed off an amazing KITT (and KARR) voice device he created. Hopefully he'll make a video about this soon to show how he did it.
Another member got the dual-screen C128 game "Nybbles: Legend of the Drunken Snake" going, which was hard and kind of but fun. More than anything it was very unique!
He also brought his highly kitted Ray Carlsen C128Dcr, which was very cool to see and use in-person.
Another member got the chance to do a deeper analysis of my StarDrive R2, which he hopes to reverse engineer. Chris Brenner would be so pleased!
At long last I was able to find the backing of an Amiga director’s chair (for $10) that actually matched a chair I acquired last year, which was missing its backing. Putting that chair together was a total joy. I also wore my Member’s Only style Amiga-branded jacket, which I picked up a week ago. It was originally purchased at an Amiga conference in Arizona approximately 35 years ago, stored and never worn. I washed it once and line dried it and gave it the attention it deserves.
I brought a big box software, manuals, several disk drives and printers for donation to the club. Almost everything was taken.
I brought my Vectrex, which got a lot of love from various members. We played homebrews of Star Wars, original Web Wars, and watched some fantastic demos.
We tested out my Silver Label. It does appear that the Silver Label has a buggy video chip with produces fuzzy video. Not that surprising but good to replicate and verify using 2 different cables.
