Image generation from 1983 - Random Landscapes by Michael Batty was a type in program for the BBC Micro published in Acorn User - creates a random landscape and cycles through the seasons at the end. Found this mesmerising when I was little!

It's an MTV simulator with almost 30,000 videos, organized by decade, with special sections for Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps. This is so good.

This is a brave decision and reading all the support for you I’m sure there are plenty of scientists who’d love to do a podcast with you. Just needs a name.. (internet do your thing)

Good morning 😊

Yes, Sir Clive hated that the Spectrum was popular because of the games and a C5 could never go this fast, but I had a lot of fun making this tribute to Sir Clive Sinclair ZX Spectrum πŸ‘

Animation made in Blender, sountrack made in Studio one
