Games That Weren’t: Two Long Lost Commodore PET Adventures Recovered After 45 Years. “The original Commodore PET editions of Brian Cotton’s Catacombs and Goblin Towers, published by Supersoft back in 1981, have been recovered after being considered lost for around 45 years thanks to Marcel Lansing.”

👴💻 A tale of epic proportions: one man's quixotic journey to revive a saltwater-soaked relic, because apparently, there's a shortage of working tech from this millennium. 😅⚡ Imagine spending more time and money on a corroded, ancient computer than on therapy—oh wait, it's the same thing. 🙃🛠️

Retrofest 26 and Zzap! Live - A Fortnight of Retro FUN!

Special thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video. https://www.pcbway.com/

Join me for the highlight of the year, Retro Fest! It’s an incredible weekend packed with vintage computing, rare hardware, and the amazing retro community.

Before diving into the main event, we take a quick look back at my recent trips to Zapp! Live, a fantastic Commodore-focused event where I spotted a brilliant “Amiga in an Amiga” mini build, and then off to the Retro Collective Museum.

Once we hit the show floor at Retro Fest, the sheer variety of retro tech is staggering. We get up close with some truly fascinating machines and modifications, including:
• A 4G-connected OPL browsing Ceefax
• A vintage PERQ 2 graphical workstation from 1984
• A Victor 9000 business computer • A Sun SPARC industrial ATX board running inside a mid-2000s gaming PC case
• An incredible custom ZX Spectrum video chip upgrade capable of 848x480 resolution
• A beautifully engineered Z80 CP/M pocket calculator
• A 1958 Siemens T100 Telex machine operating on the modern i-Telex network

A massive thank you to Tony and Pete from Short Circuit for organizing such a stellar event, and to everyone who stopped to chat. I walked away with some amazing new project pieces to tackle in future videos, including a Jupiter Ace recreation, an Acorn Electron reproduction board from Mark71, and a stack of RM 380Z boards from the RM User Group. I also managed to get a special signature from Lemmings creator Mike Dailly!

Be sure to check out Seb’s Place TV for more on the Roaming Spectrum featured in this video. https://youtu.be/uOpcmWpkS4o

Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you in the next one!

If you’d like to help keep the lights on (and the tools plugged in), my Patreon is the best way to do it. Patrons get ad-free early access to videos, behind-the-scenes updates, and entry to a super secret Discord channel — plus my sincere gratitude, which is worth roughly what you’d expect.

I also have another channel called More Fun Fixing It, where I try to coax life back into things instead of building them from scratch. Same shed, different end of the workbench.

There’s also the Retro Hardware Discord, where people who enjoy this sort of thing gather to talk about it. It’s better than it has any right to be.
