Even with my limited musical talent, I can create a simple tune. May seem lame today, but I think you would have been pretty pleased to get this from your #zx80. #retrogaming

Minstrel 2 computer, about to load program, with copy of Toni Baker's book on machine code and a cassette player.
Sound from an unmodified #ZX81/ #ZX80? Surely not. However, Toni Baker showed how to get quite impressive sound from the tiny micros, provided you were happy with a flickering screen. Also works on #Minstrel2 / #Minstrel3, though you need to access signal on mic socket. github.com/markgbeckett...

What shop always tells me I am back in the UK, and at the same time connects me to when Addictive Games and Football Manager became viable?

I fly tomorrow to the Midlands from Amsterdam to attend Crash 2025. Looking forward to it. Not so much the flight but at least it is short. (I am tall, seats are cramped!)

I am busy writing book 2 of the Origin of Football Manager. Editing more than writing in fact. Not in time for Crash unfortunately!

I don't often get to retro events these days. I sometimes envy people living in the UK. I will fly in to be at Crash 2025

🇮🇹 Una copia-incolla di schermi con il linguaggio assembly, una lista di "giochi" per Altair, una foto dell'Altair originale. 🇫🇷 Un copier-coller d’écrans avec le langage assembleur, une liste de « jeux » pour Altair, une photo de l’Altair original.
🇮🇹 Anche per una persona che ha conosciuto le cassette del PET 2001, la tastiera del ZX 80, i dischetti da 5,25 pollici dell'Apple IIe, il MS-DOS... l'Altair (o piuttosto il suo simulatore) è molto sconcertante. Meno male! Era questo l'obiettivo.
