Here is something interesting that our friend Steven is doing, check it out!

I think I figured out how to do my S.A.M.E. Skee-Ball Arcade Machine Emulator and F.A.M.E. Football Arcade Machine Emulator by using a I-Pac and using Q-Basic for my program. I might be able to get away from using a I-Pac with the F.A.M.E. By using a keyboard in the back and when a target "sign" is hit either Long or Shot Pass it will move the target "sign" backways and the bar attached to it will have a rod sticking out at the bottom which will hit a certain key on the keyboard. Only problem with that is I couldn't do a 2 player becasue it would be hard to tell when a Incomplete pass was made. Now I just need to find a 386 and 486 computer.

Well, sounds like a new project is afoot, we'll keep you posted on the findings.

The first step is to clean up the game room. It's a mess. The Chase HQ I got from yall is right in the middle and behind it parts for the S.A.M.E. I am in the process of trading for a P-233 Laptop and 2 I-Pacs. Probably going to start the F.A.M.E. first as that most intrest me. The code for it will be much longer than for S.A.M.E. a sit will have different options and levels. Hopefully I will have a 1 player, 2 player and a 1 player championship mode.

Thanks Steven

Well I start some of the programming of F.A.M.E. I wanted to go with a 386 computer so I could play some of my other games that run the right speed on them. Which searching Google for qbasic stuff I found the code to make my old games work on faster computers and also the other qbasic stuff I was looking for. I found the code to do the time so now I can have a timed game. Maybe 1 player will be 2 minutes, 2 player 4 minutes and each game on 1 player tournament say 4 minutes. Not sure how many minutes the orginal Football throw in the arcade used. Got to get my Nintendo Boards in so I can see which 2 I am going to trade for the P-233 Laptop that will run the code. And also get the I-Pac and figure out how it works. Then put it together. The S.A.M.E. will be last.
