And you can keep your fancy ultra high def 4k Blu-rays. This is the only version I need.

This is a fantastic thread on the making of The Empire Strikes Back. I remember watching this at the cinema in East Grinstead on its UK release.

Ugh.

Watching Race Across the World and pretty sure this Mongolian coffee shop has ripped off the 80s video game Elite’s logo.

Inspired by @janbeta.net 's excellent repair-a-thon video, I'm happy to report I've finally got this 1531 working again. New belts, bit of WD-40 and cleaning an unbelievable amount of filth off the pinch roller. Should be good for a few years now. #C64 #RetroComputing

A goldmine of computer gossip in 7.5 minutes. The Source and CompuServ fleecing the world, Jack Tramiel flogging defective 20 MB hard drives as working 15 MB hard drives, and Sinclair pissing off QL owners. Again. #RetroComputing youtu.be/7TLVcXjPpBI

Just when you thought it was safe to make a cup of tea... It's the most brutal Space Invaders clone ever released. #C64

I have done my civic duty. #LocalElections

I just typed edit in Windows 11 command prompt as instincts are hard to kick, but this time something magic happened. Edit.exe is back! Apparently it returned in May last year but I’m slow at updating!

This is brilliant. Steve Furber, Roger Wilson and Herman Hauser appear in it, talking about the Acorn Atom and BBC. #RetroComputing youtu.be/JZjNHnYFqOA?...

As much as I love the breadbin, I've always preferred the C case. This is the one for me. #C64

Are you a (Molecule) MAN or a (Micro) MOUSE? #C64

I always thought Airborne Ranger was released in '87 but the disk label suggests otherwise. But why? 🤔 #C64

Interesting comparison between 6502 and 68000 efficiency. As Shakespeare said, 'To CLC or not to CLC, that's going to start an argument.' #C64 #Amiga youtu.be/uAK9vAZOo3U?...

Found a great #C64 copy of The Bard’s Tale, complete with hand-drawn dungeon maps from the previous owner. Graph paper was a staple for us in the #80s. If you didn't have it... you didn't survive. #Commodore64 #RetroGaming #BardsTale #RetroComputing #GenX

Morning brew.

all the crew members have exited the vehicle, feeling well, and are even eating a little food.

Happy Easter.

Not bad for $250! Meanwhile Barry Scalper over on eBay UK will sell you an untested Microprose Pirates! (tape version) for £250... #C64 #RetroComputing

This semi-serious look at modern tech grind is pretty funny. And very 'The Day Today'. youtu.be/0tLEszJs7hc?...

We went wrong as a society the minute we abandoned the idea of ass printers.

Legendary Amiga demo scene musician interviewed about his career and transition to game music — Assassin’s Creed, Hitman, etc. Check out his demo scene productions on AmigaVision today!

I wonder if this unofficial Jetpac remake is going to be litigated out of existence. www.timeextension.com/news/2026/03... (via @timeextension.com)

Fantastic. And the replies.

Shufflepuck Cafe soon coming on the #C64 I love it when the stuff I do helps others do cool things 🙂 https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=88997 #Retrocomputing #c64

Excuse me, can I interest you in a dodgy copy of Workbench 3?

Good morning to everyone except the worst computer industry promotional pin.

One of the best dramas of the 90s is starting a run of repeats tonight, and here's the very 90s theme. #ThisLife youtu.be/czjk5h4XiYc

Today in Petty Annoyances: Some people at work need a good talking to...

Just read the sad news that Commodore engineer Hedley Davis has died. I always remembered his name courtesy of The Deathbed Vigil. The silly “Memorial Disk Drive” summed up what it was like to work in IT in the 80s & 90s. Passionate people who really gave a monkeys about what they were making. RIP

Only recently did I learn that Emirikol the Chaotic ran amok in the Street of the Knights, Rhodes. #AD&D

Might play some JetSet Willy today. Had a copy of this on the ZX Spectrum BITD (on a Microdrive!) Having watched this video, I think the Speccy and MSX versions are the best. It's surprising how many ports had bugs making them uncompletable. youtu.be/idDsa-fTNPU?...

Nostalgia Nerd has made another video starring my old #C64 Terminator 2 bundle. youtu.be/-yBYfd-Q2l0?...

Happy birthday to the ZX81, 45 today. Mine is long gone but I still have some remnants.

The (Attribute) Clash

I was expecting a breadbin but I found a loaf.

Has anyone replaced the belts on a Commodore 1531 datasette? I've changed the belt but had to loosen the two screws at [2]. When I tightened them the eject button [1] stopped working. Something is stopping the metal bar from pushing the eject [1] all the way back. Any ideas? #C64

Well, that's disappointing.

I'm sure manufacturing a lead for the TED computers that was incompatible with the 65xx computers made perfect sense to Commodore, but the logic escapes me. I guess they never thought they'd have to ship it with a few hundred thousand C64s. #C64

Absolutely the best scene, especially if you remember this episode of Blue Peter: youtu.be/PpiPEWDwK_Q?...
