You may have noticed my latest C64 repairs have not all gone to plan. So I asked a couple of very generous pals in @adriansdigitalbasement.com and @theretrochannel.bsky.social to lend a hand.

Untested, Dirty & smashed in the post, but that's my kind of challenge, especially on my current 8-bit kick at the moment
❌Case is broken
❌Tape belt stretched
🤷♂️No idea if it works
❌No PSU
❌No Video Cable
❌No Joystick
LET'S 🫧🪛 IT!🧵👇

I teased DesTest VIC20 at VCF Montreal. Today I've released it. Take a look here: factorofmatt.com/destest-vic20
There are two binaries: one for use on a standard 8K cartridge and one as a replacement kernal.

I once again own the first computer I ever owned. Very happy to have this for the collection even though I never loved this thing. In fact, I hated it. I was so envious of my friends with Spectrums.

It's not looking good for the Saturn, its most famous magazine is dying. There is hope though, EA have a new Strike game and finally the machine is getting the FPS legend, Doom.
It's too late for Mean Machines Sega, but is it too late for the Sega Saturn?
