My software can now be found at this website. tubeula.pages.dev Updated releases:- Atari Missile Command : Acorn Electron, bug-fixes, speed improvements and improved keyboard/joystick handling. Atari Battlezone : BBC B/Master 128, improved 3D pipeline, new service menu and POKEY audio emulation.

Tardis has landed. Looking better than ever with a full restoration. Also has a new Dolby Atmos sound option by @markayresrws.bsky.social that sounds great even on my limited system and very challenging audio area.

Testing Atari Missile Command on the BBC B, keyboard and joysticks (analogue/switch) okay. Some refinements to be back-ported into the existing Electron version. Trackball uses a SmallyMouse2 and Nulea M512. Heart stopping moment when a duff USB lead decided to melt! Thankfully no damage was done.

Never knew there was such a thing as amateur rocketry until I saw this featured on the front cover of Countdown. Sure wish there had been something like this near me when I was growing up back then.

As part of Gerry Anderson Day 14/04/2026 The Secret Service is getting a Blu-ray release. Poor uptake of the show by ITV regions meant that it wasn't until The Secret Service Convention, Griffin Hotel, Leeds 30/10/1988 that I got to see the show nearly twenty years later. youtu.be/G_7wM-jTh2s?...

UFORIA 2, 08-10/09/1989 Manchester. Fanderson VHS of the convention in four parts captured from my copy 20+ years ago. Forgive the quality and enjoy the content. Original Nosey Parker is Go! at start of part 4. youtu.be/hdQRhSmZjRE youtu.be/cA0DF-No7rw youtu.be/Y8n2gM57BwI youtu.be/rZ64plfAyo4

Jeff Smart rocked up at the Uforia 2 convention with this affectionate gem tucked under his arm completely unannounced. Fanderson squeezed in several screenings over the weekend to the delight of all in attendance - myself included. Here it is restored and extended in HD. youtu.be/-dAkg_bK24Q?...

This has the makings of quite an original game on the Acorn Electron. Watch it and let a shiver run down your spine at the very simple yet highly effective animation on display.

Issue 3 of this great comic from yesteryear. This really fired up my imagination back in the day.

More retro goodness in a new game for the Acorn Electron that has just been released. Very smooth animation, great graphics with wonderful game play. There's still life in this 40+ years old micro and long may it continue.

UFORIA, 18/06/1988 London Some photos of the convention guests for this over-subscribed one-day event organised by Fanderson. George Sewell, Dolores Mantez, Shane Rimmer, Derek Meddings and Ed Bishop. I have read that this was the only convention that Derek Meddings attended.

Second great issue in newsagents, four more stamps to cut out, lick and stick to the wall chart on my 70's bedroom wall. Twenty years ago I managed to buy an unused wall chart/stamps from the first 3 issues. A few years ago, issue 5 stamps turned up. Very rare.

One of the finest comics to ever grace a newsagents shelf. Still being actively traded today on Ebay fifty-five years after publication. An eclectic mix of fact, fiction and fun.

Thunderbirds 60th anniversary Blu-ray box set has landed and is looking very impressive on 11 discs. Also contains the 3 Kickstarter funded 50th anniversary episodes previously unreleased on UK disc. This is going to be the definitive release outside of a full 4k Blu-ray restoration.

UFORIA 2, 08-10/09/1989 Manchester. A gorgeous looking Lady Penelope artwork board on display along with other original artworks and a shot of the model table.

Fascinating and rare footage of factory production for Atari's Battlezone.

UFORIA 2, 08-10/09/1989 Manchester. Some of the gorgeous TV21 artwork boards on display, these photos don't do them justice. First and only time I've ever seen them in the wild. Prices around then were an eye-watering £150 to £250+ a board - if you could find them. @gleanniucha21.bsky.social

The Sentinel, classic game on the BBC micro (and other machines), joins the list of class disassemblies from Mark Moxon. I'm sure there's a great deal for all programmers to learn from this when the deep dives are fully fleshed out.

Repton 3 Redux Final sneak peek coming next year. Features:- integrated editor, attract/demo mode, high score, collect earth for points, cracked eggs behave like rocks, freeze spirits/monsters enable quick getaway, different screen walls including last level mirror. Electron version video.

Latest version of BeebEm available. Without such great work as this I don't think I'd even attempt any retro development as such.

Three ultimate versions of Elite for the Acorn Electron in a single compendium. Elite has been really well served here by the efforts of Mark Moxon.

Recognisable and programmable speech on the Acorn Electron? Quite amazing to behold.

Outstanding piece of work that gives Acorn Electron owners the ultimate Elite for their machines. Also with an added speed boost from the original by using sideways ram to run time critical code in.

Fascinating insight into the inner workings of a computer game, particularly those where you're left wondering how a great technical effect was achieved. A must-have feature to have in any development environment of this kind.

Some top tier work that's going to bring out the best possible performance on the Acorn Electron playing Elite.

Atari Missile Command for the Acorn Electron + 16k of sideways RAM. Progress remains good, moving as much as possible out of the main memory map into the SWR memory space to get the fastest speed possible. No sound at present, going to be a challenge to emulate a POKEY chip on here.
