I decided to set up a vintage gaming console that's turning 20 this year! It had just been collecting dust in my storage, but for today's RetroGaming Day, I felt like it was appropriate to dig it back out and see if it still works!
And it did! After some touching up (and de-dusting, most importantly) it actually spun up after all these years!
I played some of its – now admittedly quite archaic – games, and contrary to what I expected from gaming hardware this simplistic, it was actually kind of fun!
It's crazy the length people had to go to back in the day just to play a video game. It uses digital video disks (DVDs) to store software. I was only a toddler at the time, so I hardly remember these times…
;)

"Today, one of the 1960s machines still plays music, headlining a fascinating annual tradition – every December, the PDP-1 restoration crew at the Computer History Museum in California invites visitors to sing carols with the computer older than most of them."

Yo #RetroComputing peeps,
I’m buying a grey ZX Spectrum +2 that’s been modified for composite video output, but my monitor only has VGA and my TV only has HDMI and component (tho composite works.
The seller says in their description:
"It is pretty much ready to go, all you need is (preferrably) CRT TV with either Composite Video or SCART inputs, then either Composite or SCART cable (can be purchased from UK in online shops - make you sure you ask for +2 grey model cable, as black model cables are incompatible), then you need audio cable, probably a joystick (with joystick interface, such as Kempston) and some games!"
But I’m confused about what exact cable/converter setup I actually need to at least see it on my PC monitor.
What’s the best option here? And what specific cable should I buy for the grey +2 itself? Preferably I would like to able to see it on a spare monitor I have that has VGA.
Or maybe I am overthinking it all ^^;;
(More info in a reply post)

“Gavilán” repasa la VCF LATAM 2026 en Amiga Wave
La intervención de Sebastián “Gavilán” en el programa de ayer de Amiga Wave permitió entender el alcance real de la VCF LATAM 2026, un evento que ha logrado integrarse en el circuito oficial tras cerca de dos años de gestiones con la Vintage Computer Federation, responsable del sello Vintage Computer Festival.
Celebrado en Bahía Blanca, el festival se repartió entre Espaciotec y el Espacio HUB, destacando especialmente el carácter interactivo del museo, donde decenas de equipos estaban operativos y disponibles para el público. La asistencia, cercana a las 400 personas, incluyó visitantes de toda Argentina y también de Uruguay, evidenciando el interés creciente por la escena retro en la región.
Entre los invitados, sobresalió David Crane, cofundador de Activision, que presentó Poseidon’s Grotto y protagonizó uno de los momentos más concurridos del evento. También participó de forma remota RJ Mical como jurado en el concurso de desarrollo, reforzando el vínculo con la historia del Amiga.
El programa combinó charlas técnicas, talleres y competiciones, con especial mención al campeonato oficial de Tetris y al concurso de desarrollo para sistemas de 8 bits. En el apartado expositivo destacó una Virtuality de 1992 basada en una Amiga 3000, restaurada para la ocasión, junto a iniciativas de preservación de hardware local como las Talent o las CZ Spectrum.
Gavilán dejó claro que esta primera edición sienta las bases para una cita de mayor escala en 2028, coincidiendo con el bicentenario de la ciudad, con la intención de consolidar definitivamente a VCF LATAM dentro del panorama internacional.
