My dad got rid of our NASCOM 1 at some point in the 80s. It was feeble and pointless, but an interesting curiosity. The one I regret selling was my Amiga 500. Doh!

All I really want is someone to make a time machine to take me back to 1988 and my Amiga 500. I mean is that too much to ask?
That's no moon. That's a 9,023 piece lego set. (Not to scale.)

Does Bryce have one in Max Headroom, or did I imagine that?

Posted the same question in the appropriate Facebook group and got 20 replies within an hour. Must be a much bigger retrogaming crowd there. It's a shame because I hate Meta's business ethics and Facebook's UX sucks.

Anyone used a SCART to HDMI converter to connect an Amiga with a modern TV or monitor? (Via an RGB-to-SCART lead, obvs.)
ยฃ30. Bargain or too cheap to be good? #Amiga #RetroGaming
It's OK but not perfect. I don't think it has a comb filter? Great for the price, and RetroTinks are difficult to get hold of in the UK.

My cat trying the delete key on my Amiga, unaware that I'd already switched it off.
However! I can't get a picture from the Amiga 1200 out of the RetroScaler. Composite worked for the C64 but for some reason not for the Amiga. Alan tried to help but frankly he's useless. Any ideas how to get it working? #Amiga #RetroGaming

HDMI output on my LCD monitor. Text of various colours on the C64c BASIC screen. Photo taken at a jaunty angle to reduce moire patterns.
Terra Cresta loading screen. I need to try this with a flat screen TV that lets me change the picture aspect ratio to 4:3.
More colourful text on the knackered breadbin BASIC screen. Typos ahoy and the spacebar has stopped working since I last used it.
I bought one of those cheapo upscalers, and you know what? It's not as bad as I was expecting. There's a ringing endorsement! Tried it with s-video and composite on a stock C64c and my oldest breadbin with its Copperdragon modulator replacement, which did look better. #C64 #RetroGaming

I remember a cheat for this: stand under the 'stairs' on the First Landing and type writetyper. You can then teleport to various rooms using number combinations (e.g. 9 for the off licence).
