Seriously awesome. Plugging proper controllers into the MiSTer for some real low-latency fun!

This is awesome! You really should be able to buy booby-trapped packages as gifts for local thieves. Although I'm sure there's some law against stopping criminals these days... 🙄

@Uncle_Jody That is awesome! The Sierra adventure games were a massive part of my youth and I still love the old EGA art from LSL1 / SQ1 / PQ1 era. It's amazing what you could do with 160x200 graphics!

That's a bit sad. As much as I wondered about the legalities of this, it's such a unique thing to have original, commented source code for such an iconic game.

New things just keep appearing! Where the hell have they been hiding all these years? 😮
Yes, that's an Amiga 500 in a SX-64 case, called SX-500, apparently created by Hedley Davis back when working at Commodore. It truly was the Wild West of the computer age.

Did you know there was a C65 without a floppy drive, called C65CC? Even in 2018, Commodore still has surprises for us. Amazing! @jeriellsworth

Quick first attempt at some pixel art. 64x64 using NA16 palette. Strangely relaxing. 😆

Look! A proper floppy drive emulator for the X68000 machines! The Japanese to English translations from Google are pretty good, and there is hardware available from the link below. Requires some kind of proxy ordering though, as they don't ship internationally.

From nothing to this level of pixel-hackery in 12 months?! Wtf? Hmm, I feel this could be a challenge for myself given this kind of inspiration. Although with my drawing abilities, I'm not holding my breath. 🤔

Looking good! The Lynx could do with a decent RPG. Amazingly capable bit of hardware.

So many Atari ST games I missed! I've never seen this one before, and it doesn't look bad. A bit of a Bitmap Brothers palette going on.

Nice! I'm getting obsessed with nixies again. Planning my clock in my head. I have the in12 tubes and drivers, need to actually build this thing!
Thanks to @BadDogDesigns_ for my new nixie clock, love it!! Also hats off to @Lord_Arse for posting his and helping me discover something I knew nothing about till now

@giz_graham @elininis @RetEvents @RetroGameSearch @retrogaminggeek @RetroDetect @RetroGamersClub @RetroGamer_Mag @Retromash @retrogamergirls @MEATliquorLDS Used to love Chuckie Egg on the CPC, not sure if I even played it on the Speccy! 🙂 I remember Movie being a favorite on Speccy, along with Knight Tyme and Frankie Goes to Hollywood. A lot of fun was had on the Speccy!

Is it just me, or does seeing artwork like this just make you want to write ZX Spectrum games? 😬

Wow, that is beautiful. 😍

If those buildings are dumb, I have to say I must love dumb stuff. Looks bloody awesome. If I ever manage to pixel anything to that level I'd be over the moon.
Still dorking around with top down buildings... They're dumb and should be banned.

Cor, @imranyusuf actually worked in testing on two games I worked on with Super Monkey Ball Adventures and Squeeballs Party. He is one of an elite bunch who played Squeeballs Party on the Wii, I don't think there were that many pressed. Good game though! 😀

And on tonight's theme (so it would seem!) there are some die shot canvas prints for sale from Quazar. I was actually looking for a link to this earlier, and failed, then a tweet just showed up. Magic. Christmas presents? Hmmm. 🤔
@DatassetteUser Now that looks brilliant! The SID is a wonderful soundchip. Back in 2003 (and revised in 2014) I released an interface to use SID on the SAM Coupe computer. Also recently had one decapped to photo the silicon for canvas prints > /

I'm a big fan of Easter eggs, and also find chip die shots amazing... combine the two and you get things like this! Super miniature art. Sweet!

I'd forgotten about this! There's a version of PacMania which is running, although a bit chuggy in places. Would make a very interesting base for a Jaguar version @CJ_Reboot... 🤔
