This single sentence in the #AmstradCPC manual has been haunting me for 30 years.

@gmc For my #amstradcpc I had the #epson lx-86 #dotmatrix printer with 9 needles.
Had much fun with trying out many of the ESC-p codes
```
print chr$(27) + "W"
```
to turn double width printing on or off.

@gmc Wow!
It was the printer which was part of the #amstrad #joyce system?
I remember, that there was also a black version of it for the #amstradcpc (DMP2000?)

The successful launch of the #Artemis II rocket is a great opportunity to reminisce about the intro to the game Tintin on the Moon! 🚀 🌕 🥳

I used to play it on Atari ST ❤️

You can configure all that flicker, noise and distortion.
Nice #emulator also for #amstradcpc

Holy mother of fuck, codemasters. I may need to get a gotek, a PSU for my CPC6128 and play it.
