Modified NES Project to begin soon..

I am soon (possibly even tonight) going to begin on this new project. A circuit bent NES that is able to output some awesome glitched-out 8bit visuals by patching cables across the different sockets. Combined with my modified (for music) Atari 2600, C64 and Gameboy projects the end results should be pretty manic! The legend behind the project above + countless other circuit bent toys and instruments can be found at Casper Electronics...

R3PLAY - Blackpool

R3play is worth shouting about, even though it is not until early November... this is set to be one of the biggest gaming conventions in Europe this year. Covering the full spectrum of gaming from the earliest of home computers and coin-ops through to the latest generation consoles. There are to be literally hundreds of machines all on FREE-PLAY and is sure to be an absolute haven for anyone with even the slightest interest in gaming or computer technology. Of course The Hand Baked Arcade are going to be there with an installation, 2 days of gaming, be silly not to!

Game Gavel

Game Gavel is a new UK based computer game auction site. You may ask why this is needed when there is the almighty Ebay but these guys have had Game Gavel up and running in America for a while now and are clocking up a healthy amount of computer game related listings and sales.

I have an account on there for Hand Baked, check out my listing HERE.

Moddified Commodore 64s

This guy certainly knows his way about the classic C64 and it's modifications for music use. Ryan, based in London creates the most amazing 8bit synthesisers out of the famous home computers from the 80s. He is currently finishing off a project for myself (E:LF) and I can not wait to receive it! Check out his website: http://blog.re-64.com/
