Don't forget to leave a bowl of water out for your gran.

You got an AY chip. And you got the ATeam music. What have you done with it? Nothing. Shameful. That alone and I would have excused that the scrolling is bad and the control is bad and it's clearly mostly a rip off of opwolf. The ATeam never used blue magazines AFAIK. Just cabbages. #amstradCPC

Mmmm. Melty melty

Retro Hardware Discord 2.0 is online. Originally 1600+ members before it was compromised a few days ago. Please join and help rebuild the community. discord.com/invite/szcYa... #RetroGaming

3D Starfighter #CPC Presentation is good: like the gfx, like the sfx, especially that whopping great sample. But does it do this forever? Kinda like space harrier. But in space. Gave it a fair crack, but didn't sense any impending progression. Maybe it suddenly turns into a feisty platformer🤷

The cpc has a monitor output which has some lovely colours in it, but it don't have no meaningful voltages, so you can't whack it straight in a scart socket cos TV don't get wassapnin. I've been thinking of all clever ways to get juice from the strad, but no need! You can get ⚡ from telly instead.

Ok. I am gutted and really sorry to say that the servers are all gone. Over 1600 members on RHD and some lowlife deleted it forever with a click. Also stole a bunch of money from my account. I will make an update video and post that here when I get home. Whatever happens we are going to rebuild.

This weekend I will mostly be inhabiting 70 feet of 130 year old rivitted iron work.

Happy Friday folks. This week's challenge is Gunlock (arcade). All are welcome to come and play, repost to invite friends. Scores can be posted in this thread and/or here: mycrappygames.com/highscores/D...

Releasing June 26!

L👀 K! RARE!

Boom. (as in 'yay!' not 💥)

At the Reflecting Pool, and guys, this doesn't look right.

Just detoxing with my new retro flip phone. That is also fkn cool.

Fool proof. Store the red LEDs on the central line....

Commodore phone? Pah! I've got the Amstrad CPC one...

If I was gonna hazard a guess, it's a reskinned Easyphone t300. No stub antenna. But button layout is good, hinge looks about right. Battery specs the same. Stock image orientation suspiciously similar. And it's got an sos button.🧓

This is exactly what they should be doing. Partnering with people that are doing their job already. Let's have j-cia/cpu <$15. Kwari <$30. Build your own c64. Cbm zx next iec port out now. Cbm case mod for the next. AMIGA Fpga boxes. There are dozens of full or fledgling products waiting to go.

The wait is over!

Seeing the artists and the programmers interpretations side by side like that, and I'm yeah why not. Count me in as a believer.

#tetris #csharp I never wrote a version of tetris. Today takes care of that.

they believed there were around 100 anti-immigration protesters. This is a large increase on the number who turned up to the 2024 protest. But he added that there were at least 2,000 counter-protesters present. #brighton

Whoar. Was starting to pick up a few bronze and silvers along the way there. Luckily it's got one of those persistence timers embedded in it where you don't actually have to get better. The game ultimately just feels sorry for you on the 50th rage quit and lets you through.

Time for another chart show. …. No football yet but trust me 1990 World Cup was all over the place and is on it way …..xx enjoy and have a super weekend xx youtube.com/watch?v=IzUy...

Congrats to Imanok who will soon be enjoying this awesome blue @pixelfx.co Morph4K with analogue bridge. The prize is for the new MSX2 game Chikubi Ninja! This game won third place overall in the recent MSXdev25 competition. Check it out here! - www.msxdev.org/2025/12/27/m...

My Favourite #C64 Two Player Games – No. 15 Ikari Warriors This brilliant but tough-as-nails arcade conversion really comes alive with a buddy alongside you. Stomping through the jungle, spraying bullets, lobbing grenades and nicking the tank makes for cracking two-player Commando co-op action.

On a 6502 is phi (out) the same frequency as clock in?

This looks great. The music in the name entry screen is a bit harsh, but the rest of it is great. This is a good looking port. You can find a link to the ROM in his YouTube video description.

Do you have an USBSID-Pico? Go ahead and give the pre-release version of the all new multiplatform Configtool a try! (MacOs still buggy, sorry!) github.com/LouDnl/USBSI... #usbsid #retro #chiptunes

"64 Problems But A SID Ain't One (C64)" - the little tune I wrote for the X 2026 C64 party that happened the last weekend, is now available in CSDb and SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/armagon/warl... & csdb.dk/release/?id=... #c64 #SID #8580 #chiptune

Are you fed up with buying NOS CXAxxxx video encoders, only to find they're an unreliable and expensive waste of money? Fret no more, FuzzLabs has you covered. Just solder an AD724 and a THS7316 in the same hole. No extra components required. (and they will fit on the same pcb eventually)

Programming my wife's loom. Now that's one I hadn't thought of.

Now available. ALTAIRIS. Probably the toughest version of Tetris you will ever play! loudscotsbloke.itch.io/altairis-mat...

Top tip: Spotify isn't great for pass the parcel. Too much buffering, see.

Piggy 18 Team have just released a three world demo of their upcoming #C64 game titled 𝑃𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑃𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑐. Download here: piggy18.itch.io/petal-panic

I have put together a SAM Coupé program for importing Spectrum BASIC from disk, including variables, auto-run etc. The translation is based on BTRANS from the MGT Utility Tapes to which I (after hacking it to bits) added variable importing and disk support.

17600bps or thereabouts. If there was ever a time I'd break out into maniacle laughter it would most definitely be now. 🥳

LEAKED NEWS NuCommodore releasing cost reduced model. Peri has been quoted as saying "most people hardly ever use the advanced sound and graphics capabilities of the 64u, so by removing these well be able to get this under $300" He continued "we have however improved the keyboard"
