The Cave (Neil)

After some Basix typed out of BRADSONIC POWER! @visitthecave.bsky.social I got the TV CARD working on the Bradsonic. I gave it a test & dialled into the world's first ever Retro Computing Museum's BBS *@retrocollective.co.uk* #WishlistWednesday the game here: store.steampowered.com/app/4179570/...

Before Sensible Software there was…Sensible Software

Fancy a game? Let me grab my spare joypad for you…

I hope your morning starts better than mine!

Cats and dogs living together! This should be fun to explore.

Working today on a BBSs to feature in my game. In this alternate universe @visitthecave.bsky.social's @retrocollective.co.uk was already a thing, and had its own BBS! I just need to figure out the old landline format for a phone based in Stroud,UK in 1989 🤔 #GlyphisIOBBSTheProxyTapes1989

Video: youtu.be/sIoOehM2wYI The #MiSTerFPGA Multisystem Pocket prototype is now working! See our latest update on the design and development of this and other exciting new products. #retro #retrogaming #fpga #emulation #handheld

Reuniting Ultima VI with its missing “Orb of the Moon” to complete the box. Feeling virtuous.

Before the sleek, GPU display cases of modern PC builds we had the era of jank. My mounting of a fan on a PSU bracket to cool an accelerator in this case from 2000 celebrates the jank. That’s my excuse anyway.

@retrocollective.co.uk is back as a guest! A legendary joystick returns, thanks to @commodoreofficial.bsky.social. Dave and Neil discuss the evolving world of collecting and the Need for Speed goes Jaaaag. All this and more on this week's show!

Turned an old Cherry G80 from German to UK layout as my new daily driver. 👍 or 👎?

No exceptions, no discussion, no excuses. I liked “Guru Meditation” better.

32 years ago Kick Off 2 was still the best football game around.

A happy 1084s but I don’t know, it just doesn’t sit right on an A600. Does it need a 500 here?

New Video: youtu.be/d_gRYaEoDg8 He-Man never got an arcade cabinet, so we built the machine we'd have loved to see in an arcade in 1983! #retrogaming #gaming #arcade #diy #3dprinting #heman
