#homecomputerhistory — Public Fediverse posts

It is April again. And it's #AmigApril again. Actually for the fifth time. Can you believe that? Started in 2022 on Instagram and since last year I try bring it also to the Fediverse.

You know the drill: Join in and post your fondest memories, your hottest 16-bit tech or just enjoy the month-long Amiga-awesomeness :)

The Hashtag is #AmigApril

I love the smell of fresh floppies in the morning 💾

It has been more than 30 years since I used X-Copy. How magical the waiting time was while copying a floppy. Will the game work? Are there no copy errors on any disk?

I just discovered this. Does anyone know Scala MultiMedia? This looks quite awesome for 1994. I want to do all my future Powerpoints with this 😀

I don't want to do any Powerpoints at all, but if I have to, I want to do it on a 40 year old computer with a 30 year old software on a 14'' CRT.

Day 7 of #Amigapril

Here are some stats on the PiStorm-powered A1200. I think the number in picture two right of the individual Amiga models is the factor how much faster this one is compared to the specific model. This is of course only the CPU crunching power and doesn't affect the graphic capabilities. But this thing can now do 1274 times as much maths as my A600 from back then 😄

The Great Giana Sisters. And the famous main menu music from Chris Hülsbeck. Make sure to wait til 0:50 to listen the glorious metal version from Machinae Supremacy for the Giana Sisters sequel Twisted Dreams.

(It's quite funny how the autofocus of the camera tries to keep up with the beat 😄)

I still have a few 90ies RPGs for #guessthegame. 😀 Hint: It is a late tile-based "dungeon" crawler. Can you guess it?

Round 3: Name this classic RPG. This game is the first part of a series. Can you guess it? There is nothing to win here but fun 😉

Another one: Name the game! This is also an early nineties CRPG.

I modified my joystick a little bit. I think now it is a perfect match for this LED-illuminated C64.

It turned out that you just can buy LED-illuminated arcade parts. Only downside is that I need an extra power source. But I think about a mobile solution with a so called "battery" 😄🔋
