Day 2 of #amigapril

A few weeks ago I got this fine book. It is basically a pictured index of many Amiga demos plus interviews and articles of scene members.

I'm not very far into the book yet. It turns out watching the according demo while reading takes a lot of time

There are also QR codes in the book, that link to youtube-video of the demos, just in case you have no original hardware at hand

ITs History! @gfkDSGN@pixelfed.social

The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.

Our #vector #graphic #illustration of this legendary #retrocomputer is a form of #digital #lithography. #IT's made in #svg tech and created with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai

@loke @quazarsamcoupe yeah, it’s just a frustrating limitation on a machine which was so advanced in every other way. As home computers go, nothing really matched it.

Actually, I wonder if it would be fair to say the #Atari #Falcon was the most powerful #homeComputer to have ever existed (before that whole category was made obsolete by PCs)?

Irre, Sexy und Aktuell. Das sind drei der Schlagwörter, die auf dem Cover prangen. Auch das zweite Heft der „neuen ASM“ macht einen großartigen Job und wirft uns zurück in das Jahr 1988 – äh 2024. Mhm, eigentlich stimmt beides!

An opened Amiga 1200, exposing the interior. A screwdriver and some bit laying beside

A C64 in a transparent case, a 1541 floppy drive and a monitor show the familiar C64 start screen

A C64 in a shelf with some bulky cartridge sticking out of the back

Two transparent storage boxes filled with a lot of cables, PSUs and retro controllers.

An advertisement for the ORIC-1, a home computer. The ad features a picture of the ORIC-1 keyboard with a blue background and white stripes. The text highlights that the ORIC-1 is the hottest selling new home computer in the U.K. and Europe, with over 30,000 units sold per month. The ad mentions two versions: the 32K Home Computer system priced at $299 and the 64K "big brother" version priced at $399. The tagline at the bottom reads, "Tomorrow's micro - today!"

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
