Matt Makes Games Console
I meant to post this last month but it somehow slipped through the cracks. My friend Jeremie recently made a mini-PC for playing my games on a television set! He named it the Matt Makes Games Console.
The MMGC resides in a hollowed-out XBox.
A fancy custom MMG-themed desktop by Jeremie's wife, Martha.
First we sat down and played some An Untitled Story (I got Jeremie through a part of BlackCastle he was stuck on). Then we tried some Jumper Three for a while. FLaiL worked best, though - Jeremie had modded a few XBox controllers and had them hooked up, and 2-player on a TV set with console controllers was a lot of fun. FLaiL also suits analog stick controls the best out of my games.
I am clueless when it comes to hardware, but it looks impressive.
For all the technical details (and a video!) on the MMGC, as well as Jeremie's other projects, check out his blog. Seriously Jeremie, this thing is awesome. I'm flattered you decided to use my games for this project.
