Programmer by day, thinks about old games a bit too much by night by making videos on them.

Existentially tired and here for interesting games talk, and not quick dunks or s*itposting.

Time for some 64k of fun (and b-roll recording).

Sometimes it means I can have some fun, and other times (like now), it’s something infuriating.

The fun of enjoying the 8-but days, that’s for sure.

@vampiress The cases are available from Individual over in Germany - https://icomp.de/shop-icomp/en/shop/product/c64c-case.html

And the keycaps from CBMStuff, though it looks like they're out of Black for the main set - https://www.cbmstuff.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=59_83

(I originally ordered the caps aaaaages ago via an IndieGoGo campaign, and gosh the delivery was painful, but they're quite nice as a finished result!)

@robc I think I'd want something other than black anyway! For the keys.

Time for a new !

I may not have grown up with them, but 's 8-bit line of micros has a lot of neat games, even if they weren't the first pick for a lot of the 8-bit era.

And seeing there's that new mini hitting the market which might bring some new folks to the fold - here's a selection of games "I Just Think Are Neat", but also don't rely on loads of key controls.

@vampiress Who needs an ST when you’ve got an Amiga? ;)

Unless you want to mess about with driving MIDI synths and what not :)

@vampiress It varies on the machine - RF is on all, and composite on all but the OG 400 (and US 600XL). The 130XE I'm using, and I believe the OG 800 have Chroma/Luma which can be turned into S-Video too.

But there's plenty of mods for RGB and what not too :)
