So, who wants a Top Cat ? (Video's !!!)
« on: January 07, 2009, 04:09:42 pm »
I was going over Jed Margolin's site again and was surprised that he added some pretty interesting info about Tom Cat recently !

http://www.jmargolin.com/tomcat/tomcat.htm

Be sure to scroll all the way down for the newly added part called:
A New Chapter in TomCat History

Maybe posted here before, but he uploaded three video's of the "game" in action. It looks pretty impressive.

Amazing that he gets sued by a real avionics company for some patent he got in the 80's !!!

Also take a look at the test-screen. That's the test-screen I'd wished for on my SW, no more flipping through menu's with the hard to reach test-button, but simply "point and shoot" with the yoke.

Be sure to watch that test video all the way, funny War Games reference at the end !!!

Also nice to see a vid of the creator playing his Star Wars game.....funny to see all high scores as "JED"

The best thing of all: he's considering SELLING it !


P.S. I googled around a bit using that court-thing-nr. and one article says that Honeywell Licensed this Patent to use in real aircraft :D
