I'm a transplant from Holland and have lived in the US for eehh, 20+ years or so. Started out on a ZX81, Vic, etc. I've been in the games industry for my entire life (33+ years.. Yes, I'm old!) and have been fortunate enough to live and work in many different countries (including the UK).
These days, time permitting, I spend whatever time I have working on my own retro creations. Mostly using old FPGA's (Altera MAX, FLEX, etc) and stuff you can buy on eBay for next to nothing. Still hold a place in my heart for my first computer, as many of you probably do as well. I remember typing in listings when I was a kid (C&VG, Your Computer) with awesome art / drawings which made the simple games just so much more vivid. There's still something to be said about creating fun experiences with minimal resources.
So anyway, looking forward to sharing things here!
Nice to meet everyone!
. A little off topic but I'm interested in your FPGA projects. I have DE0-Nano and a DE10-Lite boards and trying to get into FPGAs so PM me about them sometime. Thanks!
