Acorn Electron / BBC Micro - Chuckulus - WIP Friday night change of pace - working on the title screen. Very WIP ! Have a great weekend 😎

Q - Where does a pirate store their software? A - all at C:\.

I reposted a bunch of games I typed up from books and magazines today. This one is special though. It is literally 11 lines of BASIC code and it is addictively fun. It was created by 田垣勝久. The people who create these are amazing and I feel honored to be able to bring their games to life for others.

Wow, a state visit that included the CEO’s of some of the worlds largest tech companies. There goes any copyright lawsuits in the UK for AI training. 🤔

Happy birthday to the MOS 6502! It was 50 years ago today that people were able to buy their first samples of the chip from a jar in a hotel room at WESCON. Here's my oldest 6502 from the 52nd week of 1975. Still works perfectly!

NES game development on a Commodore 128. At Software Creations we used C128s for some of our early NES games - Solstice, Fast Break, World Games. The C128 based development system hardware and software was written by Mike Webb. This video shows me loading up the NES Magic Johnson's Fast Break code.

I would like to once again bring awareness to the excellent Virtual Boy emulator for the 3DS, Red Viper. It works incredibly well. A fantastic way to play these actually great games in a palatable form that both retains the 3D effects without the headaches.

Just spotted it's the X-files 32nd birthday, so did a scribble

I’ve just completed the final season of Mad Men, my favourite characters is Peggy. Underestimate her at your peril. A strong, clever, witty woman. I wonder if rewatching the series in the future Don becomes the bad guy from the beginning like Walter does for me in Breaking Bad rewatches.

My cat Luke always lives life with zero fucks. It’s a mantra I’m jealous of.

Drop someone SCREAMING 😱

Indie Retro News: Donkey Kong - A famous 80's game has just got a rather awesome Arcade to ZX Spectrum AY conversion [UPDATE] www.indieretronews.com/2024/11/donk... #retrogaming #gaming #zxspectrum

A bullshit urban legend would have you believe that Golden Axe’s voice samples come from death row inmates. In reality, two come from Conan the Barbarian and two from Rambo: First Blood. I want to find the rest! www.thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/blog/golden-...

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Our park bin gets more like a poor quality vhs Star Wars scene with each passing year.

@annierat1.bsky.social The little Classic Car show in the next village had a few Morris’s on show.

I got a Alienware 350Hz QD-OLED from my brother, rather than fire up the PC I thought I’d have a game of GB Tetris to test the 0.03ms refresh rate😜

Last day. Don't miss out.

This conversation made me laugh 🤭

"Pioneer LaserActive becomes reality..." One of the most droolsome pieces of early 90s hardware. Laserdisc was a popular format in Japan, so it made sense to Pioneer to combine one with gaming hardware: in this case, plug-in Mega Drive and PC Engine modules. 📖: EDGE Issue One, October 1993

Holy shit. This guy saved a PNG to a bird. (he drew a bird into a spectrogram, played that sound to a starling, and the starling reproduced it back to him with enough accuracy he got his bird drawing back in their call's spectrogram) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQC...
