The computer that looked futuristic in 1977… and still refuses to look uncool today.

80s micros were so fleeting, yet made such an impact. The QL’s OS actually had multitasking; you could run multiple jobs while SuperBASIC handled the foreground. For a 1984 home-business machine, that was unusually advanced.

Owning an Amiga was like owning a Betamax. You knew it was better, but no one cared.

A BBC Micro… that wasn’t a BBC Micro? Meet The Dolphin. Built by Cumana in the mid-1980s, it offered the same feel and compatibility, without the price.

The Amiga 1000's keyboard garage is a source of constant joy in my life.

Fun fact: Toasted Sandwich contents was used to test the Space Shuttle's heat shield.

To be this good takes an Amstrad Mega PC with matching control pad and Sonic 2... No, genuinely, it does.

Ok, but why game when you have an entire file system to explore?

This wallpaper SLAPPED.

Hey man, you got a serious attitude problem.

To be this good takes a Sega 60th anniversary jacket. No idea how I got it 🤭🤫

An Apricot is the perfect evening snack.

We need to talk about the Amstrad PC1512 again soon. Trust me, it's important.

EGX WAS ATTENDED. SOCIALING WAS ATTEMPTED. JOY WAS ATTAINED.

New phone WHO DISE? My Pixel 6 broke weeks ago, so I've been using my Nokia 7610. Set up a new insta for its pics @mynokia7610

Grateful to have a 🤏 hangout with Naoki Hamaguchi-san, director of Final Fantasy VII Remake 🤯 before the upcoming Xbox/Switch Intergrade releaseeee! As someone who enjoyed the PlayStation OG & The Remake, it was cool to chat first hand.

S Q U A R E E N I X

Going live on BBC Breakfast in about half an hour 😬

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

This is fairly good advice.

This article just reminded me of this old tweet

When dead flesh feel controllers weren't just available. They were desirable.

Just posted a new video discussing THIS https://youtu.be/S8a...

A little D*Fuzed for Game Boy Color mention on the latest @nostalgianerd.com video. Go give it a watch www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8a3... @incube8games.bsky.social @zombiworkshop.bsky.social @andylemon.bsky.social @kirstybrinkman.bsky.social @quangdx.com #DFuzedGBC

I miss long, drawn out, installation processes. They gave you time to ponder, to feel, to dream.

Happy #TillysGameversary 🎁 to Windows 95, released on this day, 1995. Windows 95 was the most expensive meta advertising campaign in history. An ‘operating system’ built only to market the Weezer single, Buddy Holly, Windows 95 was actually a serviceable OS in its own right, proving quite popular.

Thanks for all the help on this ~ I shall obtain and feature some of these in my next video.

There was a time when operating systems were fun.

Help me out. Name some essential Windows XP era games.

Just opened up a brand new XP machine. Mr. Sheen ain't got nothing on this.

When every PC had a lock, but you never really understood why.

Only rich kids had Office. Everyone else used Microsoft Works for their homework.

I've missed having space to record to camera so much.

Name a better soundtrack. I'll wait.

Super pleased the ZX Spectrum Next smashed all of its goals. @olifiers.bsky.social and the team are such excellent folks. Truly deserved.

Arcade Club. Always a pleasure, never a chore.

Name a better logo. I'll wait.

The computer you got when one of your parents worked for a Japanese company.

Absolute wideboy of a Philips ProLearn AT. Complete with built in LaserDisc Drive! This 286 based colossus originally cost £5k in the 80s.

A splash of colour can do wonders

I was there 3,000 years ago. I was there when the strength of Mavis Beacon failed.

Homestretch time for the ZX Spectrum Next campaign, with 72 hours to go. Licensing games on the go to feed the non-stop unlocked stretch goals has been... An adventure. Out Run was the one that got away, but we manage quite a few gems for the backers to enjoy! www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

It distresses me that Tanglewood - a "new" Mega Drive release - is now 7 years old.

There's something incredibly comforting in the absolute slab design of the BBC Micro.

Hear me out. These buttons on the Jaguar pad were genius. Just needed the right games. PC games always had the advantage of more inputs. This *could* have levelled that playing field.

The +2. Chunkier, greyer, but still packs a punch. RELATABLE, TBH.

Loading Mega Drive games from floppy disk? No problem! The Super Magic Drive was a piracy device that lets you dump and load games with floppies.

Last 4 days of the #ZXSpectrumNext @Kickstarter, so if you want one - now's the time. We think this'll be the last one, so it's now or never! The new Magenta one is looking AMAZING! A truly unique Next that will look stunning on any desk. kickstarter.com/projects/spe...
