https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GjTJt40VRY here is a good documentary video on the guy who made the games

y

it was for @Eccles

It's quite interesting that of those very early video games, the most successful software publishers are those who developed decent "engines" and then re-used

*cough cough Ocean software*

The more things change, the more they stay the same

Was thinking Ultimate Play the Game from 1982/84, Fred

oof ultra boomer vidya talk

THeir Isometric game engine, though Manic Miner/JSW is the same

ocean ye

it's awkward being between boom and zoom

team 17

😛

the only reason JSW 2 was made was so they could fix a game breaking bug

That isometric game engine was used right through to the late 80s with Head Over Heels and Batman

The game-breaking bug (THAT) game breaking bug was only present on the Spectrum, and could be patched

by using a poke

member the time CD Projekt was a shitty publisher

member the time CD Projekt was the only publisher in pl

benevolent monopoly 😂

(not really)

oh shit
im sorry

When i've got one of my Spectrums repaired, i'll make a loading screen for AA

I'm sure it'd amuse him

remember when the Commodore Amiga had a chance in the end to succeed against IBM Pcs

yeah i dont

hahaha when i worked in localisation

i was talking to a guy

and someone mentioned arcanum

and i was like 'oh the translation was ok but it broke the game ffs'

and one guy is like

'awh ok... i made that'

lmao

poor guy tbh

orc idol wtf

@Eccles one of your Speccys?

is it a 48K, a 128K, or an Amstrad Version?

They're both rubber-keyed 48Ks, got em about 10 years ago for spares, finally got round to trying to fix em

i would love to get a Speccy

to bad i live in the USA

I'm using them to practice repairing on before moving on to some of my rairer stuff to restore

THE FUCKING PLOT

LMAO

this is 80s hour now

Looks like a badly tuned C64 screenshot in polish, Svar

or similar eastern language

Yeah, I remember the Maxwell incident

One Protect, Rest Attack

*Clive Sinclair, Jack Tramiel, Alan Sugar, Chris Curry*

mfw english octave is two quatrains 😂 whilst in polish it's a sextine with a two line punch line

*when the Welsh make a microcomputer*

It was possible to increase the speed of the computer by using POKE 65495,0 which accelerates the ROM-resident BASIC interpreter, but temporarily disables correct functioning of the cassette/printer ports

i understand *some* of it! proud 😛

The Dragon's main display mode is 'black on green' text (actually the black was a deeper, muddier green).

omg the matrix

funny enough

some games used that poke

and when they made a new model

the CPU was made of shitter components, so it couldn't do the poke.

so that meant a good chunk of games wouldn't work on certain models of the Dragon computers

fuck you

switching to light mode

just to spite you

Joke's on you

I stole this

OH GOD

MY EYES

OH GOD

OH FUCK
