It's nice to see a movie not only doing genuine code, but code that does something cool if you copy it. C64s at the ready 😉 bsky.app/profile/cabe...

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

There is so much in this image that depresses.

If you've ever played Cannon Fodder, you'll be familiar with the "recruits" screen where new recruits come over the hill and get accepted. Did you know the music that plays there is a love song? It's called "Narcissus" and was written by Jon Hare in 1984. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMqO...

A couple of fun facts here. Sonic 2 came out on the Sega Master System slightly before it come out on the Genesis/MegaDrive. The Game Gear out almost immediately after, still beating the 16-bit version by a week. 1/2

It's the same game. But different. That make sense? No? Go watch this then: youtu.be/of_cZ-_Nsao

We're just saying... that June 20th feels very retro this year.

To borrow a line from Life, The Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams .... A NEW PLEASURE! (we'll get this on our BBC Micro soon)

Ultimate Play The Game's 'Cookie' for the BBC Micro. Visually ported by Paul Proctor but not released. However, a copy of the game was leaked at some point and the game became public! Here's Cookie assembling and running from Paul's original development disk - 6502 M/C. Music/SFX by Martin Galway.

CHUCKULUS - for the Acorn Electron Version 1.0 now available ! 🥳 github.com/Snuggsy187/C... Download and play on an Emulator or real hardware ! ....or play online in Electroniq - an emulator by @0xc0de.bsky.social

At last! All four Outrun cabs have fully functioning sound! We've replaced no less than 3 amplifiers in 24 hours. Just in time for our legendary event 😁

This is a heinous (though justified) attack on our volunteers and visitors.

Jeri Ellsworth@jeriellsworth.bsky.social · 6mo ago

How do you like the self-help guides for retro collectors that @amylherndon.bsky.social and I made for @vcfsocal.bsky.social?

You have our attention. We have a couple of BBS-contacting capable machines that we'd like to get talking. We're considering using some serial-to-TCP/IP adapters (WiFi) for the task.

EVERYBODY wants to shoot the dog though. That snarky laugh when you miss ...

Doing a little exhibition refreshing. We've put the Videopac G7000 away for a while, and brought back an old favourite, the Sharp MZ-80K:

Battle for Asciion Is A New Gradius & R-Type-Style Shooter, Created Entirely Out Of ASCII Text. (Repost)

Very nice 😊 We don't have much need to have SPARC stuff on display, but there is a lot of love. In storage we have a SPARCServer 1000E 4-motherboard beast. We'd love to get it doing something useful one day.

BigBadBiologist@bigbadbiologist.bsky.social · 6mo ago

SPARCstation LX all up and running off of BlueSCSI. Used a CD image and reinstalled Solaris 2.3. Still a lot to learn about Solaris.

You asked for it many times, it's finally here. You can now switch TV channels between BBC1 and Channel 4, the latter of which will now let you play Bamboozle!

A nice little addition is coming to RCM this weekend. We'll keep it quiet for now, to keep you BAMBOOZLEd. Watch this [ASCII 0x20] !

Wait.... SEGA PlayStation!? Lady Arcade explains how after Nintendo sent Sony packing, they offered the PlayStation to SEGA.... who then made the same mistake. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-4A...

Just saying, we still don't have an Apple Lisa 😭 We'd take a barn find that refuses to boot any day!

CelGen Studios@celgen.org · 7mo ago

Poor Adrian. 😂 I warned you, man! The Lisa has been the one computer I've worked on by a wide margin that would throw me the STUPIDEST of roadblocks in an attempt to _just not stay running._

We can't wait to see this finished. Our visitors would love to play this.

Acorn Electron / BBC Micro - Chuckulus - WIP Maybe I'll try a thread instead of quote posting stuff !..... Fixed the flashing egg and bouncing off ladders bugs - thankfully quite simple stuff.... Time for some proper level design, as some are just too damn hard/impossible (even without the DUCK !) 🙄

Does anyone have the ability to comment on this video or otherwise contact Perifractic? www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgpW... At 21:20 he incorrectly states that our Astro Wars cabinet "runs MAME". This is not true. 1/3

Absolutely amazing game. Some at the time might have said it couldn't be done. Geoff Crammond said "hold my beer" (or something similar). Now if someone could write a version for our virtuality machines....

Mark Moxon@markmoxon.bsky.social · 7mo ago

I am delighted to announce the release of my latest project: Fully documented source code for The Sentinel, Geoff Crammond’s 1986 masterpiece. Here’s the repository; deep dives coming soon. See thread for details. 1/9 github.com/markmoxon/th... #retrocomputing #retrogaming #bbcmicro #c64 #8bit

Oh come on - there's always room for Wogan in the chip tunes, surely?

Got a couple of Macs that would run better with these. What we lack of course, is display space 😔
