Finally got this classic back in my fold. If I recall, this was our 2nd boxed PC game bought for our late 1991 386SX/25, probably around its time of release in 1992. This RPG series is revered among C64 (for the early ones at least) and PC users alike. This was the first entry into VGA and broke...

A covox was a pre-adlib/sound blaster, cheap device that plugged in the parallel port and was released around at the end of 1987, before people massively adopted the adlib at first, then the sound blaster for their sound and music gaming needs. It provided low quality audio signals that occupied...

I wanted to do this for last winter, but I got sidetracked. Right now, I haven't even completed the proof-of-concept, but my goals are: phase 1: -Have a nice little demo program with a winter snowfall theme in the same vein as the famous C64 christmas demo, possibly with music out of the 4-tone...

If you're not already familiar with it, I heartily recommend the youtube channel 'Classic Mac Gaming'. The man behind the channel has restructured his youtube content recently and is picking up momentum in 2 channels rather than one big unfocused one. AKA 'gruz' or 'insanely gruz', he's...

...makes for a very strange reunion of tech! In my video (which I filmed after a succesful connection of MIDI IN and MIDI OUT of all this gear together as a test), it's not extremely clear, but I'm layering the default percussion instrument over a playthrough of Canyon.mid, played with...

David Murray, aka 'The 8-bit guy' is building an EMPIRE of ports for his latest game 'Attack of the Petscii Robots', originally released and sold as physical media for C64 + Vic-20 + PET (all 3 together) computers. Check out the current progress chart posted over this weekend. The x16 platform...

Back in 2019, I bought this iconic piece of gaming history with the hopes of using a passive converter (spoiler: doesn't work, it would need a microcontroller solution) to the old serial connect of a Mac Plus since of course, it doesn't have an ADB port. Still, I have plenty of machines that...

A few months ago, I saw this video from Adrian's Digital Basement, where he added HDMI output to his Mac Classic 1: It's something I'd like to do - both for the immediate payoff of the geek factor, but also to future proof my Mac Plus (computer I kept from my childhood) should its CRT ever...

In June 2021, I ordered someone else's PCB project, sourced all the necessary components with some local help and built my own extremely small, (think smaller than a NUC pc) Vortex86DX cpu perfectly x86 compatible PC. The project is called 'Weecee' and was shown earlier this year by youtuber...
