Dang... bummed that I can't go this year. (Bummed that I haven't gone for over a decade, actually).
From today's news:
Major Havoc - The Homeworld Is Near!
Owen Rubin, Jess Askey, Scott Swazey
This ROM Hack (owner modification) of the original Major Havoc game released by Atari in 1983 attempts to include and improve several aspects of the game. Notably returning a Star Castle space battle and a homeworld final challenge that Owen had originally envisioned for the game before it was pushed out the door by Atari. Other improvements include; new levels, speech, new enemies, improved self-tests, game statistics, special warps and more. This session will describe and show some of the new features, give instructions on how to modify your original Major Havoc PCB to support the new game and instructions on how to patch your existing ROM's to play the game. We will also talk a bit about Scott Swazey's Major Havoc hardware FPGA implementation and some details around that project along with the Major Havoc Level Editor.

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
