What can you do with an 8-bit, 0.985MHz computer from 1982 with 16 hard-coded colors? You could do this. FUN FACT: The graphics artist here — PAL from Offence — is currently working with us on an upcoming version of AmigaVision. www.youtube.com/watch?v=11tL...

And then there's this:

I couldn't get TZX files to load on mine. Wonder if I need to change a setting or if it is just not compatible with them.

That's pretty cool. The only thing that triggers my inner pedant is what looks like a playstation controller! (But maybe you can use one with a C64 Bluetooth do-dah these days?)

1988 but what was people buying and playing on their c64 and speccy …….and what was people listening to on their Walkmans ? ( well its what i was listening to anyways lol )

Love these Chart Show countdown videos, Daphne, with the brutally honest commentary! I guess Ghostbusters was a budget label re-release to be doing that well in '88?

Good to hear Sabrina's Summertime Love again. She had a couple of big hits, apparently...

The Joystick that came with The C64 maxi. The stick has detached from the base.

The Joystick, clear plastic version.

Same thing happened to mine. I guess it's a design flaw. It keeps happening now. There's a clear plastic version available, is that any better?

Copilot AI lied to me again today. Repeatedly.

I was naïve to think it could write some code.

But no. It's like trying to interview an idiot sociopath.

I only had California Games out of that lot. That was a cool TOTP / Chart Show mash-up though. Was that the original Chart Show captioning software they used to use?

It's cold today, but 1541 disk drives are a useful auxiliary heat source. #C64

Nice work!

Back in time with the Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition - Retro to Go An old school console that will certainly catch the eye. The Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition is now available to buy.

That's a nice looking console.

Good album that.

If slightly depressing!

Stig of the Dump. Threads.

Yes.

I found mine much quicker after it was upgraded to Windows 11.

Of course, the Windows 11 user experience is in some ways even worse than Windows 10.

They giveth with one hand and taketh away with another.

Cambridge Computer's mailing address (Sussex Street) is a five minute walk from The Baron of Beef. 🍻

Played this for the first time the other day. Couldn't get past the trolls. I never was any good at adventure games!

That's what it says. And who am I to argue?

The serial number on my The Spectrum is 00070666. If that's not a bad omen I don't know what is.

Oh-oh... It's got the serial number of the beast. #TheSpectrum

RGL's The Spectrum. Minty fresh out of the box.

I caved in and bought The Spectrum. Time for nostalgia overload! 83 to 87 were my speccy years. #TheSpectrum

Yeah, got a lovely 2007 Sony Bravia in the kitchen. 👍

A print ad for NASCOM 1. It doesn't have a case but ours did.

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!

Not for me, but it's great that people are still passionate enough about the Amiga to undertake these projects.

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?

All these years have passed and I never knew there was a Battle Chess 2!

Absolutely wasted on catnip.

It is odd that Commodore thought that the C128D would compete with the Amiga. I would have thought they'd have different markets.
