SNES envy was very real.

I understand your needs

CONTROVERSY

Ok, but which one is best?

The C64 Games System was designed to compete with Nintendo & Sega. It did not.

Released in 1990, it was behind the curve even then, selling only around 2k units.

Nothing cleanses the soul like a fresh install.

Imagination made games like this far scarier than anything we have now.

3D Maze - 1982 - BBC Micro

Awesome to see the Spectrum Next issue 3 is going nuts. Over 5k backers!!

You're thinking of an earlier model just before the C came out.

This is the one exclusive to Germany, and sold nationwide.

The OG Start Menu.

Before Windows had a Start Menu, the ZX Spectrum 128+ had it's own, back in 1986.

The definition of "ergonomic"

The best version of the best Commodore to ever exist. The Commodore 64G.

Running Organism no less. Fantastic game.

To this day, I still get cravings to play 1993 Doom

You knew you were in for a good school lesson, when it started like this...

Just as a refresher, let’s remember this investigative piece @nostalgianerd.com did at the time about the Commodore brand: www.nostalgianerd.com/commodore-he...

"Nimble"

The original GTA on a Libretto 100CT is quite an experience.

Sometimes things don't work out. But trying is always better than doing nothing.

It's pretty simple. It didn't sit right with me.

People come to the channel to get interesting content, not for me to bleat on about a side project.

Absolutely. There's a lot to cover.

The Acorn A7000 was their entry level RISC PC, released in 1995, designed for the classroom.

By the way @damienmcferran.bsky.social, in the nicest possible way, you can just email me if you want to ask anything, or even just message me on here.

I don't tend to interact with random trolls on the internet, but I'm all for actual fact based journalism.

Would I "change a thing"? No, but I also wouldn't put it without context in the title of an article.

Was it a vanity project? I'm not sure you could count mopping up piles of vomit on a regular basis, and shouting at people for punching Mortal Kombat, a vanity project, but whatever you want to push?

Was I "angry" about it? No, just disappointed in certain parts of the human race.

Did I delete "negative comments? If you mean, did I block some obsessive weirdos from projecting onto my social accounts every single day being personally derogatory about me and my audience? Yes. Absolutely.

In the same way, I also wouldn't invite these folks into my house for a "chat".

Are people waiting for rewards? All rewards were sent, plus a final call was put out last year just in case anyone hadn't received theirs. Anyone who is still missing something, please email me.

Allow me to clarify a few points for them;

Where did the Kickstarter money go? Into the business, as per the Kickstarter page intentions, along with a whole load of other money. Business is expensive.

Did the staff get paid? Yes. For every single shift. Right until the last day.
