hi there,
i've started programming for retro consoles, starting with the nes. i'm using c, but hope to do some 6502 assembly at some point. as a kid i spent a lot of time with my family's atari 2600, and later with my own vic-20 and commodore 64. spent many, many quarters in the arcades of the 80's.
i'm enjoying doing homebrew, because it let's me program, design boxes/manuals/labels, solder (lol) and work on music too!
my one person company is called shallow enigma, currently with only one product, LION Mancala.
i will probably develop another couple of board games for the nes, and then port them all to the atari 7800. then perhaps work on an arcade-style game of some sort.
i worked as a professional programmer for a number of decades, but am now retired. fortran,c,c++, smalltalk,java,and c# mostly. dos, windows, os/2, mac. i love unix, especially the command line and the way all the tools can fit together. emacs forever!
i'm amateur musician, playing keyboards (piano, organ) and guitar (electric,acoustic).
i have a nes, a nes clone (gamerz tek 8 bit hd), a c64 clone (The C64 maxi), an atari 7800, an xbox 360, a wii, and an xbox series x.
i am excited to have been introduced to this forum, and look forward to participating.
