Stayed up a little later than I wanted to…and got it done. The Cube is now done done, at least as far as #VCFSoCal is concerned. I’ve got some work to do on it before West but we’ll cross that bridge later.

Will be showing this Amiga 500 along with an Amiga 1200, Atari 1040 ST, Mac Classic II, & a Mac LCIII to celebrate the Motorola 68000 CPU at @vcfsocal.bsky.social in a few weeks. Will work this weekend & next getting everything ready for the show! #vcfsocal #retrocomputing #amiga #amiga500

@8bithe.art’s delightfully cool C64 tower at @vcfsocal.bsky.social, along with his fake advertisement.

I created a retro 8-bit animation for this 4x4 CRT display at @vcfsocal.bsky.social Each screen features a different character in a different game, until they eventually connect for a final boss. #pixelart #animation #8bit #retro #crt #videogames
