Darth, I got in a few of your questions, if not all of them, so check this out.

Comment by Jeff Rothe on February 7, 2009 at 4:52pm: I am going to transcribe the 28 pages of text into something nice for people to review early next week at Rotheblog.

Comment by Jim Graham on February 5, 2009 at 6:35pm: Couldn't stay online untill the end of the chat, and I think someone was saving it.

Comment by Berzerk1 on February 4, 2009 at 11:06pm: I remenber playing at Silver Cue arcade. Cinematronics was nearby and
brought their games over to test them. I really like War of the Worlds.

Comment by ChaseTheChuckwagon on February 3, 2009 at 5:40pm: Looking forward to this. Star Castle is my all time fav arcade game. It was the first game I figured out how to excel at on my own -- the up and down pattern. What a brilliant game!

Comment by Chris A (driph) on February 2, 2009 at 12:25am: Just a reminder, the chat is 6:30pm PST for those of us near the left coast. The time above is EST.

Comment by Hyde on January 30, 2009 at 7:55pm: I'll definately be attending this. It'll be interesting to learn some more about Tim Skelly and the early vector games industry.

Comment by Montgomery Gabrys on January 27, 2009 at 10:08pm: I'd like (if I'm unable to attend) someone to ask about his book "shoot the robot - then shoot mom" and whether he still enjoys cartooning.
