Let’s see what Commodore themselves say.
Alas, it was not to be. Just a USB C cable for a hard drive. Maybe tomorrow!
Did yours have S-Video? Or is that a dumb question and all non-HDMI ones have S-Video and I’ve been too wrapped up in myself to notice…
Community initiatives… I am talking about products.
I’d like a gold-standard Retrotink, but I also discovered last night that to get the roof fixed on the garden shed-come outhouse so it’ll have to wait!
There’s nothing about a product roadmap there…
Any news on a post Commodore 64u roadmap?
Only just now. Heading home to Pasty. Heading home to a package that may or may not be a video capture thingy. Yes, I have caved in.
And the correct condiment for the sausages!
God it’s making me hungry - I’ve not knocked off yet!
Hello and welcome to my unboxing video
That there is a sequel and a third has seriously surprised me. I was blissfully unaware. I probably have seen trailers for them or ads and just mentally filtered them out. I am the same with Marvel films.
They are all just “there”.
This is one of those movies that because it was sci-fi and therefore “for kids” that slipped under the radar of parental censorship. Which became a controversial decision, late in the film.
It’s not Citizen Kane, but I still love it to this day.
Saving it all for a Type-In stream, I take it…
The only kid in our class with a NES was obsessed with WWF and used to get into massive arguments (and I think once even a fight) because he maintained that the bouts on Sky were “100% real”.
His demeanour didn’t dissuade anyone of the opinion that the NES was a toy.
It’s Apple. Their hardware has always attracted a premium, even if now it’s less a premium and more a gouge ☹️
A proper OS, but not enough memory to run it properly.
8gb.
In 2026.
This really is being aimed at people who live in a browser, or as I read elsewhere, want a fancy laptop for ordering pizza.
So certainly not for me, but I think it will shift units too. Has the vibe of an iPhone 5C about it.
But then again. You get Thrust. It’d be easy to criticise it in comparison to its C64 brother and indeed I would not play the C16 version for preference, but it’s genuinely a good translation, IMHO.
You’re right. It’s the same for any low spec system - it’s fair to call out bad games that are just bad as opposed to aged poorly.
For example; Beach Head on the C16 is terrible because it’s so cut back it sucks all the fun out of the game. It could have been better. It really could.
Sounds good!
Will you be looking at what you’d say are the best too, if you have not already?
I honestly think Ghosts’n’Goblins, while utter mince was an ambitious statement by Elite. It wasn’t backed up by a great game, but it was ambitious.
The reboot we may not want, but the one we deserve.
That would explain why Paul Shane was on “last year’s” with b his new album…
I know Hootenanny is filmed early in the year, but surely not this early*.
* it is, isn’t it. It’s going to be filmed in Jan/Feb to keep Roland Rivron fed for another year.
It’s in my National Record of Achievement next to my red swimming badge, that certificate I got for 100% attendance for the summer term 1989 and the letter of reference the newsagent wrote for me when I left my paper round.
Title card from “The Adventurer” starring Gene Barry. Picture of the man himself looking like he’d rather be anywhere but filming the show.
I’ll take your Munch Bunch and raise you the finest shoving-not-fighting that ITC money can buy.
Was it just me, or did the machine receive some basic Vic 20 ports? ACE springs to mind, plus a mixed bag of early Mastertronic titles that graced both machines.
But then again. Trailblazer…
For me it’s the source material. Facts, lies, misunderstandings, conspiracy theories - it’s all muddled up in there and the models probably can’t distinguish.
LLMs have disproved Douglas Adams’ hypothesis that if you give an infinite number of monkeys typewriters they’d come up with Shakespeare.
That said, now in a Bone Temple twist, I can’t unsee Hacker as Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal and Bernard as Spike.
Or, how little has changed…
The story behind it is also incredible - if it hadn’t been for Alan Wilder and Flood it would have been quite different and maybe considered a forgettable mid-album filler. I’ve respected Martin L. Gore for letting it go and blossom into something quite different from his original vision.
The cover of the ZX81 game “Espionage Island” showing. Man hiding in some rocks, holding a gun, while helicopters search for him.
Sinclair’s cover sold the game far better…
