  1. New blog post! Have you ever seen a cable this bad before? The Sharp X1turbo keyboards are all melting from old "soft-touch" plasticizer. To fix this, I made the cord detachable, just like today's modern cool-kid keyboards. Am I cool yet?

  2. Goodbye gross Sharp X1 keyboard cable. Now you are detachable! #retrocomputing #sharpx1
  3. RetroGaming Shorts Part 083 - Square Garden 1983 (Sharp X1)

    Square Garden feels like a hybrid of Asteroids and Robotron, but it also has some similarity to another 1983 Hudson game - Cannon Ball, which was cloned into the better known Pang.

    Could be useful for game design inspiration ... maybe do with Square Garden what they did with Pang ...

  4. Basement Brothers Xanatalks About Xanadu
    Falcom is possibly the greatest Japanese game publisher that's barely known in the US. Recently Ys sequels have changed this a bit, but their earlier titles are still a hole in the knowledge of even some Western RPG fanatics. At least, I never had much of a chance to learn abou

  5. #retrogaming #retrocomputing grazie all'intervento di @zanmarco e per intercessione dI san @bisboch sono riuscito ad ottenere il dump del mitico "Dr.Slump Hashire! Senbeisan" .Dopo un po' di lavoro sul software per poterlo caricare da cassetta sono riuscito ad eseguirlo sul mio #sharpx1 cz-801c.La cosa non è stata semplicissima in quanto il loader che definisce i caratteri è in Basic e immette in memoria tramite POKE il caricamento unicamente da disco. Non resta che preparare la quarta puntata !

  6. Another dead CRT for the project pile. This one is a CZ-850DE. It was meant to go with my Sharp X1 turbo, and features composite, digital RGB, and RF. It might support more than that, too, but I can't find a manual.

    Right now it powers up (and degausses) but doesn't seem to draw a raster or respond to buttons. Probably shorted standby rail holding down the microcontroller, like with the PC-TV151. #retrocomputing #crt #sharpx1

  8. #adventshow #retrocomputing #sharpx1 Puntata numero due del 5 Dicembre del mio personalisismo Adevent Show X1...ovviamente anche oggi è successo di tutto come il fatto che il Mac Mini mi si sia piantato perchè con il disco pieno... e che solo in "corner" sia riuscito a caricare il tutto su Youtube.... ad ogni modo se volete vedere un vecchio mascherato da "front Man" di Squid Game che blatera di fraggnacce "Retro" accomodatevi pure e buon divertimento!!!!

  10. RetroGaming Shorts part 010 - Cloud Kingdom

    Cloud Kingdom 1983 (Sharp X1)

    Remember Joust, the game where you flew using a "flap" button? Well, there were tons of Joust clones but hardly any scrolling or flip-screen Joust action games. _Cloud Kingdom_ is one of those rare ones. Anyone know of others? Like ... any that were actually good? This one looks sluggish, due to the platform's limitations.
