OK, this is a longshot, but: have you ever run the 90s version of the FirstClass BBS server *or* did you use it back in the day? I'm trying to figure out if something is a standard feature and could use feedback from someone who might know.

On the bench today.. possibly the most gorgeous Commodore ever made. I present my Commodore MAX. A rare beast, with a chequered history.

The TS2068 is an odd beast - a very well spec'd 48K Spectrum, but with a better (albeit less colourful) keyboard, joystick ports and the ability for 64 column text.

Changed to an underwater theme. Still not added the colours but picking some random objects for the surface (not all correct images at this stage).

Ooof! Top notch non-swear expletives. Demonetised in 3... 2... 1...

I can't tell you the number of times I've been in Lidl trying to collect ALL the items and escape through the exit before closing time, only to be murdered by another other shopper.

Fairly typical Saturday morning really.

Challenge for @futurewas8bit.bsky.social.

Psycho Shopper - LEVELS 1 to 5!

Level 5 is insane. What's the furthest you can get at each difficulty level?

Level 1 = Hard
Level 2 = Very Hard
Level 3 = So you think level 1 is easy?
Level 4 = You having a laugh?
Level 5 = You're not gonna leave sector 1

The difficulty levels are insane.. Back in 1826 I might have got to level 3.. but did I get anywhere new the supermarket? Probably not!

Two old school joysticks.

Two old school joysticks.

Mr Rod kindly gave me this Vic 20 themed joystick a while ago, it's wonderfully clicky. I've also got the one on the right, which looks like a dog's dinner but is probably the best joystick I've ever owned. The second fire button can be set as the up direction making platform games a dream to play.

Don't say maybe, you gotta play Crazy Cavey.!. And King Tut.. I really like that one. Very simple, not a lot going on.. but somehow it's still aces!
