P.S. if you haven’t heard about DLSS, it’s another technology to massively upscale digital images, in short https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Learning_Super_Sampling

Way back when..
we had crude graphics..
I have an early book on graphic programming.
I remember being amazed when Soundblaster arrived and we could make sounds and then music and digital audio became a big thing..
I knew about Pentiums and a bit about early core CPU's..
Now all this is far beyond my old addled brain power..
But I do have a good sized modular synth hooked up to my 2018 PC and still capable of doing "de busuness" with that ;-))
Viking ChieftainDon't forget about Rob Hubbard and what he managed to squeeze out of the C64 and its MOS 6581 SID chip...

@VikingChieftain Oh heck.. yeah..
There are still guys doing the SID thing.
Which reminds me.. I think it was 1974 I was a service engineer for a fruit machine company and remember when we got into the pub gaming machines.. first was a very basic "tennis" thing then was it astroids.. and all the bleeps.
Oh boy.. that's several lifetimes away for me.
Your "tennis" game was most likely Atari's Pong:

I played Pong and Asteroids on an Atari 2600 in the late 70s. They were great for their time. They were totally addictive.

@VikingChieftain Hmmm maybe..
Althought I recognise the cabinets from many pubs..
knowing the company I worked for it's also quiet likely it was the rip off version this guy mentions (1974).
I was never really into those games..
it was in order.. girls/playing live music and recording/being too stoned to care hahaha ;-))

Yeah, the '70s were the Wild West when it came to games. People shamelessly copied each other's concepts. From the '80s into the '00s, consumers copied the games. 😂
For some reason, many people who were out and about in the '60s and '70s don't remember all the details. 🤣
The fact that Ozzy had any brain cells left by the time he entered the '80s was a scientific miracle.
@VikingChieftain OMG.. Ozzy.
OK.1980 I was a live sound engineer with a couple of MIDAS mixers (36/8/2 Front Of House and a 24/10 monitor mixer)
The last major tour I did before my daughter was born was the Blizzard of Oz tour winter 1980.
There were a few nights I sat with him in his room chatting till early hours, to keep him away from the bar.
He's a very interesting man a gem IMO RIP. Sharon.. ugh! but hey
Is' cos he's still with me memories but no details ;-))

That's really cool! You must have had a blast chatting with him. 😂 Despite being heavily into the booze and drugs scene in the '70s, Ozzy blessed us all with some great music. For better or worse, Sharon did straighten him up, but she also treated him like an ATM.
Both being sound engineers back in the days, you should hook up with @mc . I'm sure you could compare notes about your experiences.
