Mastodon: https://oldbytes.space/@confusedbunny I recycled the banner from an account on a Lemmy instance which closed down, but the Lemmings seem to have a blue sky, so it's relevant. In the other place my avatar was a knitted lemming...

The IDENT countdown page. Showing what I think are timings for trailers.

Feeling at a loose end now that #ChunkyFringe is done and all the TVs are packed way until the next event, so I went picking at an old scab, and figured out how to process a hidden internal channel 4 teletext service called IDENT from a file that's been lurking on my hard drive since 2021 πŸ‘€

Me too! I vaguely recall Last Story but the screenshots don't ring any bells at all.

This is an adventure game using the fasttext colour buttons on certain televisions. Once you begin your adventure, you will undertake a fantastic journey. Mistakes may force you to retrace your steps - only perseverance, wit and courage will take you to the end of the Knightmare trail...

Two new teletext Knightmare adventures have been recovered from VHS tapes by @neilsmiles.bsky.social! It appears to be the first Eagle Quest in the series, and Swamp Quest. I have cleaned them up and made them available for intrepid adventurers to try... andrewnile.co.uk/tt/ @mrbiffo.bsky.social

Apart from maybe Inaccessible Island, which by its nature, is inaccessible.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are approaching Blue's little brother, bringing a present.
Blue: Hi little bro! Happy birthday!
little blue: Hi!

Blue and Green watch as Blue's little brother starts to enthusiastically shred the present's wrapper.
Green: How does it feel to have a birthday this close to Christmas?
little blue: Hard to say. This is is where it always is.

Blue and Green watch as little blue digs his way further into the gift box.
Green: Yeah, fair point. How does it feel to be sixteen?

Little blue, now sitting inside the box with wrappers strewn all about, looks out at them.
little blue: I don't know yet. I've never been sixteen before.

In a dark, abandoned arcade a bunny stumbles on an arcade cabinet called "Bunybius", a parody of the urban legend "Polybius". Although the game is not plugged in, the screen is lit up and glows an ominous blue color, with the outline of a bunny face visible on the screen. The rest of the room is dark, and is decorated in faded 1980's patterns and colors.

Rob Hubbard's Commodore 64 games music was so good I used to have a compilation tape of it in the 80s and tell people I was listening to Now That's What I Call Music.

Also, who is waiting at the postbox for letters to arrive, is this some lost in translation thing or is he really hanging around waiting for the postie to collect the mail, and knows which postbox was used to send it?

Does he still live at the same address when they were at school? The perpetrator seems to know that he is married and his current address, so is there some weird stalking here?

It would be nice if they were socketed. I guess it's cost-cutting, and maybe not recognising that people might want/need to replace their controllers - the bit of the system which gets the most wear and tear! Perhaps they expected you to buy an entire new unit instead.

I have a MPU1000, which has what look like exactly the same joysticks. Mine are fine FWIW. They are a bit of a pain though as they are hard-wired.

Hello. I'm not sure if I'll use this much yet, I'm currently primarily on Mastodon (@confusedbunny@oldbytes.space - add me there if you like) since Twitter went down the drain, but we'll see!
