Other projects...gaming or not

[Tengen Games North]

Well some of you have shared other gaming projects, my two games aren't really worth sharing but both have interesting stories.

I did some comedy promoting some years ago, don't have any video of it but it was with Mr. Lahey and Randy from the Candian series Trailer Park boys. Was a great experience. Then I worked with a Swedish band and did some music promoting.... was fun, the band was great but I lost a lot of money. I think there is a video of one of the shows on youtube but the band is Baskery and you can check them out here - https://www.youtube.com/user/baskery/videos

Then I tried to promote women's wrestling and lost every cent I put into it... long story but still fun times, mostly. I arranged one tournament in the US but got cheated of the video, sponsored three matches in Scotland, and sponsored a tournament in Canada. Here is the youtube channel for that. https://www.youtube.com/user/IWIWrestling/videos

I may be most proud of an audio horror series I have been working on for three years, it is here - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuUTYb0iShkG2ZiFNTvqsXw

And sort of in relation to wanting to make NES games I've wanted to make custom Raspberry Pi cases and my first one is a knock off of the new Atari VCS scam, yes I think it's mostly a money grab and am sad to think it will further sully the Atari name but the design was cool, now I think it looks sort of flat but a solid prototype is near completion, will be making silicon molds this week and plastic copies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuxhUbUb8bQ

Great idea your Atari VCS styled case for RPI. I love my RPI for retro gaming, it’s every convenient and quite cheap (I have a NESPi case and my iBuffalo snes controller).
Please share some video / photo of definitive version

I definitely will, hoping it looks great in black plastic with maple grain detail, real maple base and front plate.

Also thinking of making custom controller cases and using the guts of some cheap usb snes style controls for them, only because I think using regular controls defeats the purpose of making a custom case. Amazed how well it's come along as I have no real experience with this type of woodwork.

I bought a small silk screen business a few months back for a decent price... had learned it in high school and then worked at a medium sized shop for about six months after high school. Hadn't done it in a while but most errors come from silly mistakes so I try to avoid them. I made a half dozen or so shirts for a youtube channel and sent them to Japan as a gift.

I also burned an NES Maker logo (1 colour) into the screen just in case I ever decided to make myself one.

Then Joe mentioned the thought of having some printed in the last update and I thought I'd share.

I guess the proper phrase was "NESmaker can't do scrolling." but it sounds like it can, and does, and will be able to do more.
