Apologies for the lack of content these days. My employer is struggling with the current economy and is laying off people every few months. I'm fighting to get enough work and generate revenue so I can keep my job.
Don't know how much longer I can stay in overdrive mode.🤷‍♂️

I went thrifting yesterday and stumbled over this beautiful couch table that someone made out of an old #flipper glass.
At 35 Swiss bucks I just couldn't pass this up, so it came with me.
Looks good in my #mancave

Rate my new T-shirt.
Does this ring a bell?😉
#Retro #nostalgia

Europe's oldest haunted house ride is currently operating at the autumn fun fair in #Basel #Switzerland.
It dates back to the 1930s and was lost for some years.
Thankfully brought back by a nonprofit organisation with crowdfunding.
That's some childhood memories right there.🥰

I went thrifting today and scored these. #Tekken 5 and #RidgeRacer were 5 bucks a pop and the #Matchbox Battle Kings vehicles were 4. They are a little damaged though. I wonder if I can fix them.🤔

One of my all time favourite games.😍 Oh the hours we spent on the arcade cocktail table of this game. Left most of my coins in there.

Wow, this is seriously cool stuff!Congrats.👍 Can you also read old bank switching cartridges with the programmer board?

This is really awesome!👍

Commodore 64 Cartridge programming tool - V2 YouTube video by Martin Piper's mostly Commodore related memories

A new 2 megabyte #Commodore64 flash cartridge and a Raspberry Pi hat programming tool, with software running on the Raspberry Pi that can erase, write, and read the cartridge flash memory. #OpenSource

I remember being green with envy when the neighbours' boy had one of these and I "only" had a VIC-20. Still fond memories though of playing "slingshot" on it. Hours of fun.

#LastNinja Caps are now ready to be worn by you! Very high quality caps with embroidered NINJA logo: shop.system3.com/products/the...

This is the way!

It's actually not an XT, but a 5150.

I spotted this #IBM XT in the wild at one of my customers' meeting rooms.
Beautiful machine with two floppy drives and a tape drive.😍

Interesting.👍Where can you even get this produced?

Show me your getaway vehicle.
(OK, this one might be a bit tight).

Atari seems to make some good profit again, thanks to new backwards compatible consoles (2600+, 7800+) and their cartridge sales.
It would be insanely cool if you'd have a similar approach, or at least a kickstarter.🙏🙏🙏

I clearly don't have enough shelves for all my boxed consoles and computers.🤔

I love the C64 cartridge version and the fact that it runs on a C64GS.
You could probably make a ton of money by re-issuing cartridges for the C64.
Btw you still owe me some releases from back in the days (Vendetta, Last Ninja 3).😅

I went thrifting today.
Here are some pictures of what I *didn't* buy.
Resisting the urge to buy that little crt TV for 45 quid was particularly hard.😄
VHS tape for size comparison.

Isn't that the Italian "How can I forget those days" guy who:
•Claims to have some rights on the brand.
•Creates fake products to keep those rights.
•Sues everyone, which is really his only revenue stream.

I use Paint dot net.
It has the spirit and simplicity of paint but is way more powerful.
Plus there's a host of great plugins.

Great work.👍
Tagging @agnpaints.bsky.social on this. You guys have something in common.

I believe the term "expectation management" is appropriate for that. At least that's what I call it.😉

Happy to report, that further testing was successful on this modern hardware, the #Atari7800+.
Once I got the hang of it, the game was quite fun and addictive.

Yeah, except the Mega65 has an established fan and developer base AND it supports a variety of alternative FPGA cores.
As much as I love the Ultimate64 inside the C64U, it's missing some critical functionality to take this anywhere beyond an (excellent) C64 fpga implementation.

Well, maybe we could start a support group "Joystick collectors anonymous".😄
Don't get me started on controllers, lol.

Wow, congratulations!🥳
You really have come a long way. Great Job!👍

Not a criticism to Sean or Gideon by the way.
They both did a great job at keeping people in the loop with full transparency of the status.
