The Russian ZX Spectrum scene of the mid-late 90s is fascinating. With more powerful computers expensive and out-of-reach for most, there was a scene of dedicated strategy fans bringing demakes and unique versions of Civilization, Master of Orion, and XCOM to ZX Speccy 'Pentagon' clones.
The title screen for XCOM: Enemy Unknown for ZX Spectrum/Pentagon, with a pretty good if a little bit facially goofy looking rendition of one of the loading screens from the DOS/PS1 versions with two soldiers, one kneeling, in scifi body armour with a sleek looking transport aircraft overhead. A crt tv screenie of one of the ufo landing missions, presented in isometric fashion but simplified to one xcom operative and a walk-and-gun game. The title screen for the demo fo Civilization for ZX Spectrum, converted by Cubeckin Vitaly, with a city skyline rendered in sandy yellow and CIVILIZATION in huge white text above it The pretty damn good looking tile map from CIv with a phalanx unit shown by a coast and hills

Brand new review of chipcrusher! wavepusher.com/review-chipc...
Chipcrusher 2 by Plogue - A crush on sounds from before year 2000 - Wavepusher.com
Chipcrusher by Plogue is one of the very best bitcrushers out there. It's also a sound design tool full of electronics history, simulating old game systems, speakers, monitors and electronics from their heydays in the pre-2000s. It's kind of crazy the way Plogue have accomplished this, and made it customizable and it deserves your full attention if you're even remotely into sound design or retro sound.

the inside of the Steam Machine is just as compact as the Xbox Series X in an even smaller cube. The GabeCube, if you like

A fantasy arcade is a lovely thing indeed, but a *fantasy computer* is what really makes me happy. Check out the free & open-source TIC-80 here: tic80.com

Spectrum Next #Delphian progress: fixed a few bugs in my clipping code so all is good now. So added view culling of objects, as well as support for multiple 3D objects. Also added the object sort so distant objects are draw behind near ones. Still need to add polygon sorting, so that's next.

This. Always this.
“The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.” -Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country
