![]() ![]() Just to say, since i'm not a resident of the U.S., the next best thing was to order 3 of them from Ebay, which will be sold by Jso i you're not an U.S. You can read all about it " HERE" and check the pictures of the coin " HERE". The design of the coin is also symbolic of an arcade token." “IN HOME VIDEO GAME SYSTEM” and “RALPH BAER” encircle the outside of theĬoin in a text that is meant to pay homage to Ralph Baer’s Odyssey The left side of theĬoin features “New Hampshire” and “Player 1” on an incused background. This design depicts Ralph Baer’s brownīox game “Handball” on the right side of the coin. The New Hampshire $1 Coin recognizes Ralph Baer and his creation of theįirst home video game console. Yup! You are seeing right! Check out the description on the U.S. Since i still have a few (old) computer parts, i've built one so i could at least surf (surf ? who the heck says that now ?) on the net.By chance, all the data for the OdySim is preserved but it will take some time before i can retrieve it and re-install all the software so in the meantime, enjoy summer folks! ) so the rest of the carcass was good to throw (literally!!.MOUHAHAHAhahahah!!!!!!). Well this post is gonna be short and sweet as my computer totally crashed (for the ? time) and i mean crashed as before i threw it away by throwing it as far as i can with my right arm (think i may have broken the world records for throwing a desktop computer ** if that exists **) as Sunday my $%"! of computer has tested my patience to it's last drop.Īfter having so many lags and "not responding" over the last three months, it has displayed 3 times the infamous "blue screen of death" in less than an hour, so i retired it for good (permanently) but not before i pulled out all the hard disks, video card, ram, etc. So have a Happy Xmas everyone and a great 2022! =) I will not close this blog as i wanted to post some upgrades, mods and hacks so starting next year, this blog will be hosting "Tweaking the Odyssey" and i can't promise that i will post often but will post whenever i can in between work and life. So thanks to everybody who supported the OdySim (comments, suggestions, bugs, etc) but it is time to leave it in other capable hands (and of course, imagination). That would be so nice as i still have a lot of ideas and unreleased games. Maybe the OdysseyNow team could pick up where i left ? And i could help out from time to time. But for now, let's say the OdySim is on "pause" for many months. I'm not saying good-bye forever for the OdySim, it's that it's difficult to update/maintain a project when you have almost no time to spare. So i'll be posting/uploading all my source codes of the OdySim by the end of this year on my Archive Library. them, it's a total knock-out! I have NO budget, almost NO spare time, a simple printer and a 8 years rebuilt old computer. Due to personal problems (health in the past and now economics), i have now 2 jobs so that i pay up the bills and all and a father of two kids, that doesn't leave me with a lot of spare time.Īlso, with Zach Horton and his students (OdysseyNow), how can i compete with a bunch of people, a good budget and a top-notch laboratory with 3d printers and all ? Me vs. With what happened this summer (see previous post) and the damn pandemic that won't quit which affects us all in a way or another, finally has taken it's toll. It is with regrets that i have finally decided to stop any new updates for the OdySim until further notice. It's people like him (as many others) that we are preserving the history of video games! ) So a HUGE thanks goes to Nicholas Broetzman for sending me the 3 pictures of the ad/flyer.
