Warren Davis

Been laying low the last few months, but it's time to come out of hibernation... I'll be a guest at the SoCalRetroGamingExpo in June! First time attending a show in the Los Angeles Area! Hope to see you there! socalretrogamingexpo.com

@thebrokenlaser Thanks for the kind words!

Warren Davis appreciation post. Not only was he a creator of the amazing Q*Bert, but the digitizing system used for a little game we know as Mortal Kombat and other popular Midway games. Thanks @WarrenDavis29!

One of the most wonderful happenings at this year's #PlayExpoBlackpool was meeting and getting to chat with the great John Romero, a true gaming legend and super nice guy. We traded memoirs and I can't wait to read his! @romerogamesltd

Gave a talk at #PlayExpo Blackpool to anenthusiastic crowd! 😄 @ReplayEvents

I wrote the foreword to this cool new book, "CONTROVERSY - Downright Despicable Games". As you might expect, it's a lot of fun. Currently only available through gooddealgames.com. If you mention my name, you'll get $10 off and have it signed by the author for free!

Just released a new mobile game, Hungry Tribbles. For iOS and Android. And it's FREE! Check it out! #StarTrek #mobilegames #tribbles tribblegames.com/hungrytribbles…

@SeamusBlackley @VancityReynolds When you give it back to him, say hi for me. (We did a partially improvised murder mystery dinner theatre show in Chicago in the early 90s.) 😃

Jon Favreau didn’t just jump into #DeadpoolAndWolverine for a quick one night stand as Happy Hogan. He gave us the 360 degree vision of an innovator, foundational Marvel forefather and ace storyteller. And if I have his number right, he is WILDLY uncomfortable with everything I’m writing in this post. But fuck it, I got what I needed out of him so he’s gonna drink the medicine. One of the many things I love about playing Deadpool is that he’s a fan. Like me. Deadpool LOVES Marvel. So, working with Jon who’s one of the original creatives who built an empire, was somehow BETTER than sitting with one of my heroes. And almost better than being cradled in Thor’s powerful arms while he sobs like a fucking motherless child who lost his binky in a house fire. Jon is one of the greats. Yeah, the movie benefitted from his incredible performance, but we got something more important: his generosity of time and energy to talk story and brainstorm larger themes and ideas. I’d drop everything to show up for this guy anytime or anywhere. Thank you, Jon.

@GrooCheeseDip @PrimeVideo Yeah, can't complain. I was terrified I'd blow it on the first few questions but they actually pretty easy. Until they weren't. 😆

@WarrenDavis29 @PrimeVideo Well hey you got pretty far.

My episode of the 1% Club airs Mon Jul 15 at 9pm PDT on Fox, then moving to Prime Video the day after. Will you see me? Did I win? Who knows? But the show is lots of fun! The questions are all puzzles/brain teasers. Check it out! #the1percentclub @PrimeVideo @AmazonMGMStudios

@GrooCheeseDip @PrimeVideo I messed up the 20% question. 😥

@WarrenDavis29 @PrimeVideo I didn’t see you. How far did you make it?

@ITweetBBQ Wow, I wish I could give you a definitive answer, but I don't have the source code. What I recall is that the truck getting hit reduces its speed, and when it takes enough damage it explodes. There could be more to it, though.

I've decided to dive into the opcodes and figure out what makes T2 Judgment Day's (ARC 1991) truck level tick. Best as I can tell, it uses the crosshair's XY vars to seed an RNG that determines whether the truck takes damage? @WarrenDavis29 , might I impose please?

Spotted on a Salt Lake City TRAX system train. Guess they aren't fans of #qbert. 😀

@VoltFan @chigamespace It's what we called an "engineering sample". Basically a prototype, and the swearing marquee was our beloved VP of BizDev's idea for how to name the game before we chose Q*bert.

@chigamespace @WarrenDavis29 Is that an original cabinet, before the name was officially changed to Q*Bert?

TOMORROW you can meet THE CREATORS of Q*bert, Warren Davis @WarrenDavis29 and Jeff Lee! chicagogamespace.com/exhibitions/-t… Sign up for our special opening event to see the new exhibit and mingle with some amazing guests!

There's a sneak peek at The 1% Club on Amazon Prime this Thurs May 23. The show officially premieres Mon June 3 on FOX with episodes dropped on Prime a few hours later. You might see me in an episode, but I don't know which one yet. Still, it's a fun show! #The1PercentClub

Q*bert (1982 Arcade) and Faster Harder More Challenging Q*bert (Unreleased Arcade) Review indiegamerchick.com/2023/12/08/qbe…

Only two more weekends of the Q*bert exhibition at @chigamespace . If you're in the Chicago area, you should check it out! chicagogamespace.com/exhibitions/-t…

@IndieGamerChick @paulhamx @ParkBarringtonX Aw, thanks Cathy! What a nice thing to say! If anyone's interested, the story of both Q*bert and FHMC Q*bert is in my memoir, Creating Q*bert and Other Classic Video Arcade Games.

@CalvinW16229482 None planned, I'm afraid. I just got back from California Extreme, in Santa Clara. Are there any other shows in Northern CA?

@WarrenDavis29 Hi I was wondering if you'll do any appearances or book signing in Northern CA in the remainder of 2023? Thank you.

Although I cringe at being described as a "Titan", you might find some interesting tidbits about the videogames I worked on in this interview that dropped recently... youtube.com/watch?v=77lfAs… #qbert #retrogaming #arcade #videogames
