Dad, jazz enjoyer, video game maker, baseball umpire, nerdy tinkerer. I made Tetris Time Warp, now available in Tetris Forever and on Netflix Games. I work for Digital Eclipse/Atari as a designer/engineer and I love/enjoy it.

Gotta hand it to him: he made a really nice GameBoy Color clone that I will never buy.

Good news! Woah Dave! Deluxe! is coming to Playdate as a FREE UPDATE! REALLY SOON! It's got almost everything the original arcade and home console versions had. Boss battles, bonus aliens, rideable UFOs...the WORKS!

And yes, the CM story gets more complicated. Tweakbod identified this 1978 commercial for a Breakout and Pong-style game table by Bally Japan (which itself is a crazy story as it is NOT affiliated with Bally Mfg). So be careful when you say "first" folks.

First time umpiring with a plate coat. I like it! No more fiddling with ball bags on my belt and you stay pretty warm once the sun goes down.

I decided I wanted the Berzerk Coleco ”Revival” tabletop to look more like the prototype presented in the 1982 Coleco catalog. I could really only keep it 1 player, but It looks GREAT now! (pre-mod image included)
Prototype pictured in 1982 Coleco catalog, never released. After modifications. Single button, white control schemes, new labels matching prototype, proper bezel added.Before modifications.

Thank you! It only displays in the square format just as the original Woah Dave! does. The platform placements and distances from wall to wall are locked in so the game plays the same.

@adriansdigitalbasement.com Was so impressed with your Intellivision repair video! Was curious: would you have any interest in taking a stab at repairing one of the rarest video game consoles in existence?

Tournament season around here! Nice to work in 4-man crews with my dudes. That's me on the right ready to work 1st base. I called abandonment in one of these games, which I may never get to call again. So weird.
Four baseball umpires around home plate for a pre-game plate meeting.

Baseball is the perfect sport for ADHD people like me who can just watch a few highlights and feel like you watched the entire game.

Solder in a little USB C power board where the old power connector was. Set it for the proper voltage. They’re like less than a dollar. Done-zo.

Bro no joke. I converted nearly all my classic game consoles to USB C power. Changed my life.

Boy, did I have a humbling evening umpiring behind the plate. Baseball has a way of doing that to everyone involved. An effective reminder that complacency is insidious.
