52 laps around the sun, 52 lengths in the pool.. 26 years from being 26 on the 26th. It’s one of those number days. Something to build from the eldest daughter too.

New blog post - Converting a ZX81 BASIC game to run in Commodore BASIC on the VIC 20 (and the PET, C64 and TED)

BASIC is quite a portable language, so let's see how easily it ports.

I loved this game, it was like playing the highlights from Match of the Day. You had so many chances to score depending on fitness and ability. Footballer of the Year was achieved many times.
Footballer Of The Year from 1987, an interesting 8-bit game where the player takes on the role of a specific footballer, rather than a team or manager. Gameplay is board game-like rather with videogaming aspects.

@futurewas8bit.bsky.social has done a video with some Atari games. A decent selection of titles too. I went and snagged a copy of Fishing Derby as that looks proper fun too. Food Fight and Joust next?

I never miss the chance of watching a film I love on the big screen. It’s Back to the Future this afternoon.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

Inspired by The Jase's video, I realised that the Mr Blobby song also works quite well with the John Lewis advert. But then it took a dark turn...

45 years ago, the arcade game PAC-MAN was launched in North America ( October 1980 ). It was an instant hit and soon became one of the most iconic videgames of all time. 100s of copy-cat versions were created for home computers, virtually all were un-licensed. One of my all-time favourite games.
