  3. Setting up a custom CRTC resolution, for fun and for profit (and for horizontal overscan, going for 384 * 168).

  4. @gmc For my #amstradcpc I had the #epson lx-86 #dotmatrix printer with 9 needles.
    Had much fun with trying out many of the ESC-p codes
    ```
    print chr$(27) + "W"
    ```
    to turn double width printing on or off.

    Ja, die Info steht auch im englischen Wikipedia-Artikel über #alansugar, aber so richtig Wirkung entfaltete sie bei mir erst in eurem Artikel:

    "Alan Sugar wurde 1947 in East London geboren. Der Sohn eines Schneiders lernte schnell, wie man nebenbei zu Geld kommt."

    Sohn eines Schneiders! Genau mein Humor.

  6. After our recent post on the 16/8-bit editions of Bushido Warrior, remains of the #AmstradCPC version has been found and released today on #GTW, thanks to preservation efforts of Steve Brown. A neat oriental themed Gauntlet clone due for release in 1988.

  7. This weekend's #Retrozock brought us some nice battles with Power #Tetris (by Face Hugger) on the #AmstradCPC.

    Btw. if you connect two CPCs via the printer port four players can play simultaneously. Very funny!

    Soundtrack in the background today by #InstantRemedy and #WelleErdball.
