๐ Yes, damned dwarf with an axe randomly popping up in Sphinx Adventure and taking you out is infuriating. I think myself & Chris had a similar journey, Elk got me into programming. I was always underdogs... Oric Atmos, Acorn Electron, Sam Coupe.. But then the legendary Amiga500, 600 & 1200 ๐๐ฏ
Wow, that looks insane! Will keep an eye out for the release ๐ฑ๐น๏ธ
I was expecting Pres Games Disk 1 but I overwrote it with your demo ๐ It's super smooth on the CRT. Been playing one of your games too, just revisiting my Electron after a while ๐
I have no idea how @0xc0de.bsky.social achieved that on the #acornelectron - it's some kind of voodoo ๐ฑ #retrogaming
I honestly think Pengi is the best conversion of an arcade game on the #acornelectron along with Arcadians #retrogaming
Classic #retrogaming ๐น๏ธ #acornelectron Mikie from Imagine
Having a chilled Saturday with the #AcornElectron, what should I play? #retrogaming
Chris has inspired me to get the Electron out and try some of my favourite adventures, yes Sphinx Adventure is here & Countdown to Doom, although my favourite as it also has the graphics, Twin Kingdom Valley. A chilled Saturday ๐
All the fun you can squeeze into 64k! youtu.be/PM18XTdua8s
We look at the international sensation Jet Set Willy and 1984's explosion of open-world adventure gaming. Plus a full Quake-style FPS in just 64k, and new flow coding and game engines for classic hardware.
Wow, I forgot about that ๐ Blast from the past.
Company I used to work for created on disk brochures for businesses that had to work on Windows 3.1, I remember having to make cars looks good in "windows 16 colours" to cater for the lowest denominator ๐ Not any 16 colours, Windows 16 colours, it was fun ๐ . Renault Megan never looked so good.

I saw Delphi and thought of Borland Delphi, didn't realise there was a Delphi internet service, like CompuServe/AOL I assume?
There's an alternative called Neocities today, I found it the other day ๐
Nice, We now have Neocities

It's the history of shoot 'em ups with TWiR and @slopesgameroom.bsky.social. Then we ask whether 1996 changed computing history forever and explore handheld retro tech vs. the doomscrolling scourge. Plus news in classic Z80-based tech from the 80s and 90s on Episode 256!

I was never into Elite, not my kind of game but the technical skills to fit that onto the Acorn Electron have to be applauded ๐
Crazy that I remember using the site when it looked like that, I feel old ๐คฃ Don't mention that I started with Gopher and WAIS ๐
Loved the title music on this game on Amiga ๐ I often used to load the game just to listen to the music ๐
Hereโs the latest episode of Better Offline. Iโm joined by @junlper.beer, @birdrespecter.bsky.social and @arif.bsky.social to talk about prediction markets, silicon valleyโs billionaire whiners, and how Anthropic defines โprofitable.โ

Absolutely over the moon, I have been trying to get the English version of Styx for Oric for literally decades, was my favourite as a kid - and finally got one cheap (ish) in great condition, including instructions and English version ๐
