I do like the Lynx 1... it's bigger than a house brick, and about the same weight, but it's strangely alluring! That one looks in good condition. Mine is rather worn, to say the least -- it's nice to know someone got good use out of it though! Top piece of hardware.

Awwww, yeah. Those Russians sure do know how to make a sexy looking glowing number tube. I've got some nixies (like those I think) and some driver chips. Must make a clock! The only thing I worry about is burning them out...

Lol, first the X68000 update, now the SNES?! Unintentionally I'm MiSTer whoring like crazy tonight...

The Sharp X68000 really was a legendary computer. Basically an arcade machine in a box masquerading as a computer, and it looked bloody awesome. Why did we never get it over here, Sharp?!

This is no lie! The McWill modded Lynx screens absolutely transform the Lynx. It really makes you realise how ahead of its time the graphics capabilities of the Lynx were. Sadly LCD displays just couldn't do it justice at the time!!

Argh! The evil!!

Looks quite nice, though....

If you're not familiar with GadgetUK's work and like a bit of retro hardware fixing and modding, take a look at his YouTube videos, and then stop by his Patreon! Top bloke and voted person most likely to fix anything which broke, ever. Especially if it was made by SNK...

There is something really special about single screen games. Not quite sure what, but they just appeal to me. In so many genres too -- Bubble Bobble, Pac-Man, Super Sprint, Rod Land, Lode Runner... A lot were multi-player too, which helped! Super Sprint is a favorite though.

I did enjoy playing this. It was two player as well I think -- or was that Super Cars 2? Still doesn't come close to Super Sprint in this genre for me, though! I spent so many hours playing Super Sprint on the ST in two player mode...

Now that is a sight to behold. Weirdly it looks a bit like a crap sci-fi movie... they were more accurate than I gave them credit for!

Cool, I had no idea there were compressed ROMS on the SNES! I must read more into that... I assume you must specify pages or something and it decompresses to a memory range? #rtfm

Hah, I like this. I've got a bucket of old eproms which would make some interesting looking bugs... that's Christmas presents sorted out, then!

Another funky bit of hardware I've never seen before. The MegaPC from Amstrad I know. But it seems the PC and Mega Drive portions of this computer could interact? The MegaPC couldn't do that. Does that mean you could do sortof PC / Mega Drive hybrid games? Funky thing.

I remember this fondly on the Amstrad CPC. It had very nice mode 0 graphics, and the memorable "low score" table. Ahhh, the days where having decent graphics in a game was actually unusual!!

The real Treasure

Jeez, you know you're an old-school coder when it pleases you to see numbers which are 2^n and can be expressed with just a single bit being set. Or maybe just odd? One of the two. But thanks to the 2^9 (and growing) of you who may find something interesting in my tweets!

@ZXSpectrumDev It's been so long now since I've done any development on the Enterprise, but it's an extremely under developed system. Very flexible graphics hardware and the sound wasn't too bad either! Would be nice to see more for it.

I've always liked The Spectrum Show -- It doesn't get as many viewers as it should in my opinion. If you've not seen it before, give it a watch!

Magic Pockets was ace. I still remember seeing that first on a kids TV show being played over the phone... going live? I don't think I got any further than the jungle levels. I'm better at writing games than playing them.

Phew, I thought it was just me! There's drawers full of the things... and boxes in the garage... and boxes in the attic... I may have some kind of cable hoarding problem.

A good read about the style icon that is @mrbiffo. I'm completely with the pushing your limits approach to life. You only live once, do everything you can and more besides.

Very nice, Bad Apple, Jaguar stylee.

Wow, more awesome console rarities! Gotta love tiny CRT's. Sir Clive would be proud... or something.

Power computing scsi drivers?! That's where they went. I never thought to look there... Seriously, talk about a time capsule!

Now this is a thing of beauty. It makes me want to buy brass tubing...

Never heard of the Mega Jet before now! So many odd niche gaming devices out there I didn't know existed. I always love to learn about more exotic incarnations of gaming tech.

@Lord_Arse A quick little update video on what's been happening here at the RetroHQ in recent months, where we are currently, and aspirations for the future! #CreatorsUnite

Very cool! As Smokey says, hugeness is upon us. You can't have accurate hardware simulation without accurate timing!

The phrase "you can't unwatch it" springs to mind! Seriously surreal, and actually had me laughing out loud several times. It's like retro gaming meets Reeves and Mortimer, on acid.

Is it just me, or is he the guy from NES Jekyll and Hyde?!

Working hard on getting copies of Treasure Island Dizzy and Defender of the Crown for the #AtariJaguar built so we can ship them out next week! #Dizzy #OliverTwins #Cinemaware #Atari #ClassicGaming #RetroGaming

This reminds me of Virus (or Zarch if you're an Archie user) with a car. Very cool! Someone do an ST version quick...

Aww, man. ANOTHER @bitmap_books publication I'm going to have to buy, now. Stop it, you're going to bankrupt me!

Oooh, ooh, ooooooh! New sexy looking Atari STE game! Want want want.

That is the wrong-est thing I've seen in quite some time...

Mmmm, clicky keyboards! I still have my original old clicky keyboard back from my first PC in the mid 90's. Still working perfectly. Keyboards were made to last back then...

Infinikey-CPS2 prevents Capcom CPS-2 Arcade boards from self-destructing when the battery dies.
