BBC = BreadBoard Computer 🙂. This is my 6502 based homebrew computer, plays a decent game of Tetris too 🕹️

Are you sure we’re not twins 🤣 likewise. Dad got me a specky 48k. We had a 2600. All started the obsession. Same money was tight. I got my garage converted into an office end of last year and that gave me the space to start collecting properly 🥰

A new video showing tools to allow Oric to play Protracker 3 files in the background from C language. The Oric has a decent sound chip, I think it does a good job here, and now super easy to add high quality tracks to your games! youtu.be/tL4VNIIHSW4

My uni mate (Stu) who I met in 1989 came round this weekend. Bought some photos of us back in the day. This is circa late 1990 or early 1991 - my Amiga A500 with A590 HDD. Can just make out him playing a Tetris game I wrote in C. We were addicted to it! #amiga #a500 #tetris

#Sharptember A chance find among a bunch of tapes I won in an auction turned up something pretty interesting, a compilation tape of games written by Col Needham (the creator of IMDb) and likely his master tape from which he sold his mail order games. Here's his game "UFO Attack".

You can view the FujiNet Game Lobby from the web, if you want to see if anyone is playing a given game by pressing "Game Lobby" on the fujinet.online website. :) #retrocomputing #retrogaming #atari8bit #trs80coco #apple2 #colecoadam

Programming in C for the Oric is possible thanks to OSDK! Here I ported a program from dflat (see elsewhere about this) to C. Despite my handle, I do like C - learnt it back in early 1989 on my Amiga A500. As we know, C is still used extensively today! youtu.be/wLsLQ_LsYGU

I've modded my homebrew - too many peripherals makes it unstable I think. So no more real time clock, but kept the 6551 ACAI for serial. This video shows a custom file transfer protocol to get files from the PC onto the homebrew! youtu.be/ms-w9NC0ubs

Who knew saving tiny LCD people on the Oric could be this addictive? Here’s a gameplay demo of my almost-finished Manhole port! #retrogaming #oric #8bit #gamedev


It's been ages since I did anything with my 6502 homebrew computer, so here is a video about benchmarks against classic machines from back in the day - always a controversial topic!😂 #homebrewcomputer #mos6502 #basic #80s #6502cpu youtu.be/pQFLyB10Uj8

After sitting in my archives for 4 years, I finally revived my fan port of Nintendo's Game & Watch – Manhole (1981) for the 8-bit Oric! The project is now almost complete – classic LCD gameplay reborn on a retro home computer. #retrogaming #oric #8bit


Random post, first in ages but I had to appreciate this video shared by my mate just now! #ZXSpectrum #thehobbit #hobbit


Can I generate 8-bit graphics for a niche 80s computer (Oric-1) using Copilot? Sort of is the answer - due to the contextual sensitivity of Copilot, the experiments in this video aren't as good as when I tried earlier! youtu.be/Vf9Gvi1Y3II

I got new-old stock Oric-1 tapes and tried to load it on my battered 42 year old WHSmith player into my owned from new in 1983 Oric-1. Surprised to report that it actually worked, I was convinced it would be a disaster! youtu.be/4QyK8Ecp6k4

As we approach our 20th anniversary, we're reflecting on what makes #TNMOC special. One visitor said: "TNMOC is a marvelous repository of computing history." For two decades, we've preserved the stories of those who shaped our digital world. What does TNMOC mean to you? 👇

Since apparently the rules encourage sharing C and assembler resources, here is the complete source code of the game I released last December, which is pretty much all in C and 6502 assembler😅 Feel free to ask any question! github.com/Dhebug/Encount…

I have been loaned a "Frob" ATARI 2600 development system courtesy of the NVM, so I can demonstrate it. But the disk is in terrible shape. I will attempt to clean it, but I am putting out a call to anyone who may have a copy, please get in touch with me!
