September 1984:
PCs get upgraded,
#MSX comes to Europe &
Coinop goes cartridge
These stories and many more on the latest episode of the VGNRTM!
I recently saw someone here who wrote a #snake game in basic for the #c64, but unfortunately I can't find the toot anymore. Thought I could try that in Amstrad CPC locomotive basic too. Doesn't run very performant, but it was fun. but I haven't programmed Basic for at least 25 years.

Edit: by the way, i used this to convert winApe .avi screendump to .mp4:
ffmpeg -r 50 -i input.avi -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset slow -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4

Come and lurk with us! There's also the occasional chat that you may love too; likely will share some of the development of my new MSX2 project.

Polishing off the second revision of the #Amstrad #CPC464 #MechanicalKeyboard
* Key bed repositioned by a few fractions of a millimetre.
* Diode footprint tweaked for easier hand soldering.
* Moved a couple of diodes which were uncomfortably close the connectors.
* Patched up all the traces affected by the above.
I still have a couple of minor items on the todo list but this is very close to being ready for the fab.
Noch ein ganz altes Fundstück: #StarWriter 1 für den #CPC. Quasi der Vorgänger von #StarOffice / #OpenOffice / #LibreOffice. Und natürlich auf 3 Zoll Diskette (wir machen keine halben Sachen 
). #Schneider #Amstrad #Retro #StarDivision

Jeu d'aventure textuel illustré comme dans le temps sur #Amstrad mais modernisé, #gratuit, cherche joueuses et joueurs susceptibles de l'apprécier en dehors des cercles initiés.
Les augures prédisent un échec de buzz. Déjouons-les ?

Ooo, just a dodgy cable. Phew.
6128+ and a C4CPC is proper Amstrading. I was even able to load one of my old pack discs from the internal floppy

The CPC 6128 was my first computer!
I've always been a fan of z80-based releases of Gauntlet. However, both the original collection of mazes and those in the "Deeper Dungeons" add-on were a bit limited (most dungeons were duplicate of others).
Now I've created a tool that allows adding your own mazes and creating a new collection that can be loaded from the original game.
