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.
In brief, the way the Vectrex draws vectors is:
1. Set the Y velocity
2. Set the X velocity

EricBall's Tech Projects > Skyward Sword
Posted 28 December 2011
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.
I've played about 4 hours so far, so consider this a very early review.

I told myself to avoid the games on...

As part of the "Welcome back" program Sony has given every PSN user a free month of PlayStation Plus - which gives discounts on downloadable content and some exclusive content. 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...
