I've got it hooked up to a NES, SNES, N64, Xbox, Dreamcast, and a laptop for Dosbox and other PC games. I hope to add an Atari 2600 in the near future.

It's kind of weird. I've totally embraced the digital comic age, but I can't stand playing emulators.

Wicked.

Found this new iPhone 360 degree photo app (well it's new to me).

As you can see the Atari has been added thanks to my brother-in-law. We had a blast playing Combat and River Raid last night.

Cool. Is it the VCS or 2600?

I LOVED Combat. And for some reason, Adventure is still close to my heart.

Have any of you guys tried using third party systems that play old school games?

Ex: A system that plays NES and Super NES games.

Zynga COO John Schappert Resigns

Fortune is reporting that Zynga COO John Schappert has resigned. The news comes just a few weeks after Zynga stock tumbled nearly 50% following lackluster quarterly financial results. Schappert himself reportedly lost significant clout following the company's recent reorganization.

"We can confirm that John Schappert has left Zynga and its Board of Directors effective immediately," Zynga CEO Mark Pincus said in an emailed statement. "John has made significant contributions to the games industry throughout his career and we appreciate all that he has done for Zynga. John leaves as a friend of the company and we wish him all the best."

Ouya Assembling Developer Muscle: 'In Talks' With Namco Bandai

When the open, hackable Android-powered console Ouya first hit Kickstarter, the video gaming community seized on it immediately, showering it with enough funding and money to hit the project’s lofty goal of $950,000 in under 12 hours. Those that have been watching the video game industry for a long time, however, were cautious. “Developer support” was and is the question on everybody’s mind – who would make games for a console without piracy protections?

Ouya appears to be doing everything it can to answer that question. First, Square Enix signed on. Now, it appears that the company is in talks with Namco Bandai.

I tried one that plays both and it was alright but even though I hadn't played the SNES for years the system controller felt unnatural.
