		<description><![CDATA[In addition to the 2600 & 7800, I have the desire to program the Vectrex.  I grew up in the golden age of video games and vector games were part of the magic.  The Vectrex also uses a 6809 - the processor I first programming in ASM.<br />
<br />
In brief, the way the Vectrex draws vectors is:<br />
1. Set the Y velocity<br />
2. Set the X velocity<br />
3. Turn on the...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For Christmas I got Skyward Sword.  Unfortunately, my wife didn't get my email about the game+controller bundle, so I had to pick up a Motion Pus controller before I could play it.<br />
<br />
I've played about 4 hours so far, so consider this a very early review.<br />
<br />
I will say there's been an awful lot of dialog in the game so far, on top of the...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Warning: if you have addictive game tendencies - don't start playing Glitch (more on why later).<br />
<br />
Glitch is an odd game - and not just because you squeeze chickens to obtain grain.  It's a free-to-play game which you can play without paying.  Unlike a typical FTP games, you can't use real money to buy in game resources, reduce action...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I signed up for Google+ I was happy to see that the games (and their notifications) were segregated from the main feed page.  Although I didn't join Facebook, my wife did, and her feed was clogged with games related posts.  She spent a lot of time on Facebook playing games until she quit cold turkey.  I told myself to avoid the games on...]]></description>

Well, I activated my free month and proceeded to download as much free stuff as I could, including several full games (including Oddworld Exodus). They might only...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There's a free Angry Birds beta available via the Chrome App Store.  I've played through the first 21 screens and I can't understand why it's so popular.<br />
<br />
This isn't to say that I don't enjoy it.  I certainly had fun with this physics/puzzle game.  But I also found the gameplay somewhat frustrating, and my tolerance and...]]></description>

The Parallax Propeller is a pretty cool chip.  Eight 32 bit cores running at 80+MHz with video output capabilities.  A lot of people have said, that's cool let's make an emulator or videogames!<br />

The design point is to make a 120 roll film cyclindrical panorama camera.  My original idea was to make one with a 90 degree vertical field of view & 135 degree horizontal FoV, with the idea that a full 360 degrees would be covered in 3 shots. ...]]></description>
