🎧 Hey, I remember Avernum! I haven’t been a PC gamer in 2 decades (since Xbox360) so this was a blast from the past. So many games, too little time left orbiting our ☀️…
Some wonderful tangents taken in the conversation today, chaps.

Over coffee this morning I read Z80 assembly code from 1982, as one does. It was very relaxing. #retrocomputing #Z80
Time for my last batch of deep dives into The Sentinel, Geoff Crammond's epic #BBCMicro game.
This one's a mixed bunch of miscellaneous topics, from anti-cracker code to hidden snippets of original source code. Short and sweet!

That's as far as I get. Mouse doesn't work.

Found a great #C64 copy of The Bard’s Tale, complete with hand-drawn dungeon maps from the previous owner.
Graph paper was a staple for us in the #80s. If you didn't have it... you didn't survive.

#Screensaver #RetroComputing
A cluttered home workspace photographed in March 2005. A long white desk runs along the wall, holding an assortment of vintage and contemporary hardware. On the left, a standard CRT monitor sits beside a Commodore monitor. Center-left, a pile of CDs, floppy disks, and cables surrounds a pair of headphones. In the center of the desk, a black HP laptop is open and running, displaying a blue-tinted screen - running KDE. To the right, an Apple iMac G3 lies open with its translucent dome casing removed, exposing the motherboard and internals - awaiting a RAM upgrade. A black computer mouse rests on a colorful mousepad ("Fiat Panda") in the foreground. Above the desk, a wall-mounted shelf holds a collection of books, electronics magazines, and a leafy graduation plant. On the wall to the right hang several framed artworks: two landscape paintings and a vibrant folk-art style canvas depicting trees and fields (I created years before, at school). The room has a warm, personal atmosphere despite - or because of - the technical chaos. Oh, and there's still a C64 Joystick - it was called "the Cobra"
...but in 2005, it seems I was having a lot of fun! (see the alt text for more details)

Remember last year(or so) I saved this #Macintosh from the trash.
I thought it was dead and for parts.
Well, as it turns out it had a rare #Apple IIe card inside.🥳
It's pretty much a whole IIe computer, like the one in the last picture, on a card.

Someone on reddit said: “There is a zero percent chance of this ever happening.”
So of course it happened…
This is really impressive.

What links The Sentinel with "Every Breath You Take"?
Why, it’s the minor added 9th chord, of course!
And the fact that they’re both 1980s classics
