I finally got an afternoon to dig out the NUON dev system and get it working. Somewhat surprisingly, it boot right away.
The Samsung monitor pictured seems to be on its way out so I switched to a USB video capture device. It's actually more convenient that way to not have an extra monitor...
I'd like to announce another recipient of a NUON Community Award. Chris Brockman, or The Helper as you know him, is the host of this website and forums. He also has been hosting NUON-Dome for a while - K3V can probably give better insight into that.
Chris has given NUON fans a home long after...
I'm cleaning out my closet and figured you lot might like first crack at these.

Not NUON related, but some of you might be interested in what I've been doing. Like I said my previous post back in November, I started making games full time.
My first game was just released yesterday. It is an iPad board game called Mother Lode.
Here's the trailer...
Figured some people here might be interested to know that I quit my day job a while back to do game development full-time. I'm targeting iOS devices at first.
I've moved my blog updates from my DragonShadow site to my company's site. Pay a visit to Order of Magnitude Games if that interests...
I'm selling a bunch of my NUON stuff on eBay. Of note there is an N504 (rare European NUON player with Aries3), two copies of Iron Soldier 3 (one is a test disc), Next Tetris, and SIXL test disc.

I have a bunch of NUON pens and would like to give them away to the community. These are nice Cross pens (black ink). Photo attached. Also see Kev's post on this page for another shot.
I'm only asking you to pay for the cost of postage and PayPal fees. For US residents it will be $3. For...
Whoah. I come here only to find a delightful Haxor message instead of the forums. Then I try again and all is well. Did I just happen to hit it when the forum got fixed?
I just found out that Greg LaBrec passed away yesterday the 26th. Greg was in the developer relations group at VM Labs. The past month he had been fighting an aggressive, resistant form of Leukemia.
I didn't know Greg very well, but he always struck me as a good guy.
Whew! Finally!

There are a few minor errors in the video, but oh well. And despite what I say at the end this...
I should know better than to post important things on my blog without giving a link here. :)

If you remember way back Riff won an eBay auction for a bunch (I mean a *lot*) of NUON controllers. Close to a hundred in all I think. I think he intended to use the polyface chip for something, maybe a PC-to-NUON communicator. Too bad nothing came of it.
His dad obviously doesn't have a use...
It's finally ready. And only a day late ;)
link is gone because google videos died
I am in the process of fixing a couple minor things and will update when it's available.
Earlier today I received word that Mike Perry, Riff as we know him, died of a cranium aneurism on August 1st. He was 32. His father got in touch with me presumably because I was in Riff's contact list or someone that he had recently emailed.
Riff was the author of the Nuance emulator. I'm...
Finishing up the play through with commentary, here's the medium and difficult levels.

It's up. It's long. I'm takin' a break.

Of course to get back on schedule I'll need to start working on the next post like now. Thankfully the next one will be much easier to edit.
Edit: Gah! I didn't review the movie before posting. Looks...
I just posted the first in a series of video blog entries dedicated to NUON. I hope you find these interesting and fun.
