Small retro-computing milestone: after many hours of experimenting, testing, breaking things, fixing things, and trying again, my Jupiter Ace emulator (build with AI assistance) has finally loaded a game on Build 30.

It is not playable yet, so this is definitely not a launch announcement, but getting a real game screen to appear in the browser feels huge.

I never actually owned a Jupiter Ace, but it has always fascinated me. Also, obviously, it has a very cool name.

🚀 So, we're supposed to believe that the Jupiter Ace could have dethroned #BASIC with its Forth language magic? 😂 Spoiler alert: it didn't. Meanwhile, BASIC is over there sipping tea with #nostalgia, laughing at its wannabe competition. 🍵

@deadblackclover I wrote some #forth back in the day (first on the #JupiterAce when I didn't really get it, and then for my first paid gig after uni). However while the tiny #runtime and in-place development was nice it was still fairly low frills compared to the #elisp I'm used to now. I seem to recall I had to do a lot of manual tracking of the stack - perhaps later forths had better plumbing for that?

Well a few recognised the machine from a pic of just 2 keys, so here she is in all her beauty.

@deadblackclover I remember these, mainly as they were being sold for about 20 quid in bargain bins in the end. A bit sad really #jupiterace #retrocomputers

Did I mention the Minstrel 4D (#JupiterAce Compatible) computer kit currently has £72 off?? (inc UK VAT)

I'm mostly sure I'm making a loss. But times are hard and I need to buy Jelly. https://www.tfw8b.com/product/minstrel-4d-turbo-jupiter-ace-compatible-computer-kit/
