Qwak Reborn - wishlist now on Steam store.steampowered.com/app/4704570/... mrqwak.com/2026/06/qwak... Who doesn't love pigs and fish?
Qwak Reborn on Steam
Cute looks. Brutal gameplay. Qwak Reborn is a frantic arcade platformer packed with action, power-ups, secrets, puzzles and traps. Simple to learn. Impossible to put down. Even better with a friend!

I was hoping to demonstrate this last weekend at RetroFest 2026. A true 8-bit Pocket Computer running CP/M on an 8Mhz Z80. On board storage, USB-C or battery powered, internal module bay and full RC2014 expansion bus. It runs Microsoft BASIC and Zork. So it's called the Zorkulator. Please share.
Love this photo of Robert Smith of The Cure, playing an early demo of Technician Ted on the BBC Micro.
All set up ready for the hoardes! Come say hello if you’re here.

Seeing as I’m awaiting the delivery of faster chips I thought i’d get on with designing and printing the case for the Lynx recreation. This is the test print of the top used to refine any issues. Printed in brown as it uses about a 1/4 of a reel of filament & not enough grey left. Needs tweaking.
Just look at this beauty! Few machines look as gorgeous as my Dragon 32. Why not come and see her in action in person at this year's DragonFest in Cambridge!! Come on! You NEED to have more 6809 and 6847 awesomeness in your retro life! www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/76704/Dr...
What witchcraft is this?! A long lost prototype? a re-imagined Dragon for the 21st century? Well, I'm not going to tell you. All I can say is that it's not mine (although I WANT IT) and you'll have to come to the Dragon Meetup on SUNDAY to find out - www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/76704/Dr...
Do you repair ZX Spectrums? If so, here's a raffle for charity for a SteamCard pro diagnostic board.
