  1. 1980's computer game maps always fascinated me. I regularly used to draw them myself when I was playing a game.

    One game, however, was very difficult to map. It was a game called Fantastic Voyage published by Quicksilva.

    Just look at the map and you'll see why - there are many wrap around passages and jumps from one room to another; plus a few rooms look the same.

    Yes that is supposed to be a human body - I don't think they did a bad job to be honest; although calling the room Duodenal rather than Duodenum always annoyed me.

  2. Being a giant nerd has never been easier. Look at all this nerd shit everywhere! I love it! Anyways, here’s a very, very nerdy thing on Kickstarter for us nerds of a certain vintage and those who have an affinity for the early days of home computers.

    Yeah I’m on there. My nickname is ‘Debt Set Billy.’ 😂

  7. IS BASIC from the #Enterprise128 is the foremost advanced #BASIC dialects for #8Bit #HomeComputers. But it is very(!) slow. The "Creative Computing Benchmark" took nearly 5 minutes to run (comparable to the #SinclairZXSpectrum and the #TRS80 Model 100) but produced excellent results: "accuracy" is quite good (comparable with #BBCMicro) and "random" is the best of all computers measured in the contest from 1984:

  12. IIRC Software Projects got into some amount of hot water for using the NCB (National Coal Board) logo on the boot at the lower left in this image. I seem to recall a conversation w/Alan Maton (Software Projects MD) about this when I mentioned to him that I’d done my basic underground training at various South Yorkshire pits, in a previous life. IDK if anything came of it or if the image was ever adjusted because of this. #manicminer #ncb #nationalcoalboard #sinclairzxspectrum #zxspectrum

  17. What about ending the year 2023 with another #RetroWeekend? 😀​ Yesterday I got a #ZXSpectrum128 that I am going to restore now. This model is nicknamed "Toastrack" because of the shape of the heatsink on the right side.

    The Toastrack Speccys are a bit hard to find today, especially in a good condition. But this model here is even harder to find...
