The kind of character portraits that write their own stories.
A motley crew of NPCs you'll run into in 'Beast City', one of the last cities remaining on Earth after WWIII, where 'screamers' descend into the depths of the bio-monster infested BIAS zone to hunt them for credits and score.
One of the earlier sci-fi/cyberpunk dungeon crawlers I've played.
📺: The Screamer, MagicalZoo, 1985 (PC-88/98)

I am pleased to announce that the pentagon is now running Fuzix
No.. not that pentagon, the soviet era Spectrum clone 256K and 512K machines.

Another part bites the dust
10MHz Z80 CTC joins the "end of life" brigade.

I find myself in the odd situation that by day I lead projects on #augmentedreality and work on topics related to #automatedvehicles but by night I mess around with #retrcomputing kit like #atari #c64 and #zxspectrum . There is something elegant about there elder beasts and seeing how they can be pushed and brought almost into the modern era e.g. via #fujinet

Fancy some shmupery, #Amiga fedinauts? Then give a gander to The Sales Curve's conversion of Jaleco's SAINT DRAGON.
Saint Dragon is one of those games that still have a bit of a zing of arcade excitement about it for me and is a long-time favourite. There's a neat mechanic with using your mecha-dragon's body as a shield, curling it around to block shots at the head. And it's got a pretty damn cool chrome and biomechanical aesthetic going on.
The Amiga version is a very respectable port in an era of less-than-great miggy conversions like UN Squadron. For one, you get music AND sound effects - always a good start. And aside from a few areas where the framerate gets choppy, the scrolling is pretty smooth.
Lovely stuff!

Mornin'. Fedinauts!
Today's greets come with an amazing ad for one of those bold attempts at the ultimate all-in-one PC controller. Mouse and joystick all in one and endorsed for FPS ass-kicking by none other than John Romero!
I wonder if this was actually any good to use?

For those who enjoy using Winuae for #Amiga emulation, I'll recommend something I've used for some time now and definitely enriched my emulated 'miggy experience and made it feel more authentic.
It's a carefully designed pairing of Reshade presets and CRT-Guest-based Winuae filter designed to do as good a job as possible to replicate the experience of using a Commodore 1084S/Philips CM 8833 monitor in terms of mask and colour correction.
There's a step-by-step guide and examples of what he tries to achieve and yeah, it's been really nice to have something for Winuae like this in addition to Retroarch.

It’s so close I can taste the epoxy casing. I don’t quite know where in Canada Post’s system it is, since the tracking number I have is for some Chinese outfit that is regurgitating CP’s feed with no details.
But I *might* have my Z180 CPUs on Monday… we’ll see!

"I've seen things out there you people wouldn't believe. Pirate ships on fire off the shoulder of Lave Station. I watched bioships birth their young and hurl them to alien worlds. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
Three of my favourite space adventure simulators of the 8 and 16-bit era, with Captain Blood easily the weirdest - as was par for the course for EXXOS.
A writer and gamer getting sucked into his own created universe filled with clones and bioships and rampaging pac-men and using emoticons to communicate? Just a Tuesday for the lads and lasses who formed Cryo and crafted things like Kult and Purple Saturn Day.
