Arcades are all gambling, claw machines, and other crap now. Remember when sega blew us away with sprite scaling and moving cabinets?
Not a fan but you do you
Yeah the indie games on steam and the retro community keep me going, there was just something magical about the added “how did they do THAT” factor when hardware was limited
What’s your favourite era of games?
I’m showing my age but I think video games peaked in the early/mid 1990s. Everything just seems incremental now (resolution, polygon count, frame rates, capacity, $). I blame big studios but I concede that the gamers probably do vote with their £
News to me - anyone ever heard this in real life?

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.
Understood instantly what it meant.
"Top 1/3 of income earners are worried about their employment situation - the most worried they have been in the history of the series about the labour market."
I am sure this is fine

PETVaders now has full alien formation movement and scoring
How would YOU move 50 aliens left/right/down in formation while allowing the player to move and fire bullets, with collision detection, alien kills, and protective bases that you can destroy? All on a 6502 at 1mhz

SAM in a CAN 2
I've two big projects underway. The first that I'm currently building up for several people (and have parts for more) is 'SAM in a CAN 2' which is an original SAM Coupe motherboard in a new aluminium case with all my major peripherals incorporated.
The second, for which I just use the codename...

Main difference is I didn't need to sell any vital organs to own a Dragon 32 ;)

PETZerk WIP game for Commodore PET
WIP - picked up the idea of PETZerk (Bezerk demake) for the Commodore PET but in XC-BASIC instead of C this time around.
Originally I was going to fill the screen but by fitting it into a 20x20 character grid I can also more easily port to Vic 20 with user defined characters 🤓
