Astonishing to think that Nigel Alderton was a mere 15 years old when he designed and programmed Chuckie Egg. What an iconic and thoroughly addictive 8-bit #microcomputer game of the early 80s!

‘People still remember it 40 years later’: the making of Chuckie Egg

April 11th, 1976 - The #Apple 1 is released🍎

1MHz 6502, 4kB of DRAM (expandable to 8kB!), and a 40 by 24 character display.

#Woz was able to fit a simple hex editor in the limited 256 bytes of ROM in the machine, which allowed the user to enter, read, and run programs/data in RAM.

The schematic was interesting too. Woz had made his own TV typewriter terminal, similar to Don Lancaster's, and the Apple 1 was just a simple #microcomputer bolted onto the front of it.

Happy 50th to the Apple 1🎉

#retrogaming and #vintagecomputing #archive #Myrient is shutting down due to rising costs in hosting and hardware. This is indeed a very sad development in the preservation of vintage software.

If you're into this sort of thing, hurry up and mirror the things you need before it shuts down on March 31 2026.

I'll be sure to grab anything related to the #Enterprise #microcomputer, as well as some old #NES stuff.
