I love the smell of fresh floppies in the morning πŸ’Ύ

It has been more than 30 years since I used X-Copy. How magical the waiting time was while copying a floppy. Will the game work? Are there no copy errors on any disk?

I just discovered this. Does anyone know Scala MultiMedia? This looks quite awesome for 1994. I want to do all my future Powerpoints with this πŸ˜€

I don't want to do any Powerpoints at all, but if I have to, I want to do it on a 40 year old computer with a 30 year old software on a 14'' CRT.

Day 7 of #Amigapril

Here are some stats on the PiStorm-powered A1200. I think the number in picture two right of the individual Amiga models is the factor how much faster this one is compared to the specific model. This is of course only the CPU crunching power and doesn't affect the graphic capabilities. But this thing can now do 1274 times as much maths as my A600 from back then πŸ˜„

It's day 6 #AmigApril

Some weeks ago I got a little upgrade for this A1200. I had an RasPi3 laying around, so I bought a PiStorm extension board for the Miggy. And this thing is wild.

It is like every other turbo card for the A1200. It is placed in the trapdoor and replaces the CPU, extends the memory and does a lot more stuff. But instead of a faster 680x0 CPU or a FPGA (both very expensive) there is a Rasberry Pi, that emulates a super fast 680x0 CPU in software.

Think about it. There is original hardware, but the CPU is software-emulated by another computer. And that emulation is faster than any original CPU ever has been. That's completely wild.

A completely normal Saturday night, isn't it?

Atari 400 (Mini) appreciation post.

I have owned this one for a while now but I haven't played very much yet. I just listened to the latest @stay_forever_podcast about the Atari 8bit computers and now I'm highly motivated to explore this system πŸ˜„

The Great Giana Sisters. And the famous main menu music from Chris HΓΌlsbeck. Make sure to wait til 0:50 to listen the glorious metal version from Machinae Supremacy for the Giana Sisters sequel Twisted Dreams.

(It's quite funny how the autofocus of the camera tries to keep up with the beat πŸ˜„)

I still have a few 90ies RPGs for #guessthegame. πŸ˜€ Hint: It is a late tile-based "dungeon" crawler. Can you guess it?

Round 3: Name this classic RPG. This game is the first part of a series. Can you guess it? There is nothing to win here but fun πŸ˜‰
