Added the Hoi re-release for Windows and MacOS to my Itch repository.
What? You haven't played Hoi yet?! Go get it right now! 😉 It's the 1992 Amiga prequel to Moon Child.

If you suddenly find yourself in a conversation with a 3D artist, and you want to seem knowledgeable, just pseudo-casually throw the Utah teapot into the discussion… 🙂

Made this in the mid-2010s for an Amiga demo. This is the 24-bit high-res version. For the Amiga, the image needed to be downscaled and reduced in colors.

Ah, the cutting-edge tech of yesteryear is back with a vengeance—floppy disks are apparently still a thing, and #recycling them is the new eco-warrior badge of honor. 🌍✨ Who knew that saving the planet involved hoarding what should have been buried in the tech graveyard of the 90s? 🦖📀 If only my grandma’s attic was as environmentally conscious! 🌱💾

… Already altered something in a list. 😅
Replaced the Rambo game for the Commodore 64 with Henry's House, also for the Commodore 64. Such a charming little game, entirely made by a sixteen years old solo dev in 1984. 💪

🚀 Oh, finally, Microsoft Word for Windows 1.1a has been resurrected and slapped onto x64, because who doesn't crave vintage word processing with a side of extra research features? 😂 GitHub's latest adventure in digital archaeology might just be the solution to a problem no one had, but at least now you can write in style like it’s 1989—on your 2023 machine! 🤦♂️

Voxel impressionism of a scene from our 1992 Hoi game (level 1), with a bit of weathered texturing. I would have digged this as Hoi's box cover art. 🙂

Amstrad PcW16 🤭
Il y a des décisions d'ingénierie qui méritent une médaille d'audace. En 1995, Alan Sugar a validé un PC à processeur Z80 8-bits poussé à 16 MHz pour faire tourner une interface fenêtrée monochrome.C’était le synthétiseur analogique à l'ère du CD MP3. Inutile, brillant, et totalement légendaire. 📟✨
Et aujourd'hui, c'est un superbe collector. Le connaissais-tu ?

Another minimalism experiment (± late 2000s). Less is more, or "KISS" (Keep It Simple, Stupid!). 🙂

@madcollector I'm running a 2007 permacomputer laptop. Linux gave it a new life like 10 years ago and it's still going. I use it almost every day. It rocks.

🎶🕹️ Ah yes, because nothing screams "cutting-edge music production" like using a 1960s-era mathematical model to make tunes. Why waste your time with a DAW when you can have a fun game of 'musical token hopscotch'? 😂🔄

Ericsson T29
(2001)The unsung hero of the Swedish mobile giant and the spiritual savior of the famous "T-series" design language. While the ultra-slim Ericsson T28 captured the world's imagination in 1999, it was plagued by fatal hardware flaws, particularly the notorious "no transmitter" power management issue and a fragile flip latch. Released in 2001, the T29 was engineered specifically to address these structural vulnerabilities, offering a beefier, incredibly rugged, and highly reliable chassis that became a favorite among business professionals.
Technical Specifications:
Display: Monochrome graphic (101 x 33 pixels, displaying up to 4 lines of text with a retro-futuristic green backlight).
Dimensions & Weight: 95 x 49 x 22 mm, weighing in at 95 grams.
Battery: High-performance Lithium-Polymer 850 mAh (BHC-11) pack, offering immense standby endurance.
Software & Connectivity: WAP 1.1 mobile browser, EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service) allowing users to send basic formatted text and pixel art, voice-activated dialing, and voice commands.
Entertainment: 4 built-in games (including the highly addictive Tetris and Solitaire), custom ringtone composer.
Hardware Features: Active physical flip cover, external stubby antenna, proprietary Ericsson bottom system connector.
The physical interaction with the Ericsson T29 was its absolute selling point. Pressing the small mechanical button on the side of the phone released the spring-loaded active flip cover with a distinct, incredibly satisfying "clack." Flipping it open instantly answered incoming calls, and closing it ended them a highly tactile UX design that remains unmatched in the era of flat glass rectangles.
Structurally, the T29 was noticeably thicker than the T28, but this extra volume allowed Ericsson to fit a more robust internal magnesium alloy frame and a vastly improved radio transmitter. It was also one of the first mainstream devices to heavily push EMS messaging, bridging the gap between basic SMS and modern MMS. It stands as the final, refined monument of independent Ericsson engineering before the landmark joint venture with Sony in late 2001.

I love this old behemoth. It's the Stag Solar ROM burner. I also have one of them crappy and lame USB burners too, but this is just so much cooler.
It runs with StagCom 95. The 95 meaning it's not any of those tired old Windows 3.11 programs, but the new 32 bit Windows 95 ones! And in 2026 it runs just fine under Wine in Linux, although from the last time I had used Wine, it had gone through an evolution of being split into 32 and 64 bit versions, so I had to recover the StagCom installation.
