Did you write code for #Psion machines in the #80s or #90s?

This is a call for you to #opensource your code!

Our community is breathing new life into #EPOC16 & #EPOC32. New dev tools, apps, games, docs. Your old code will help!

OPL, C, C++, #assembly.

This is astonishing - it’s #Elite on the VIC 20! Aleksi Eeben has taken the #Commodore64 source and has ported it to the C64’s predecessor.

It’s looking pretty amazing! Huge kudos to Aleksi, this is a really impressive feat. 🫡

Your Sinclair Jan 1990: US Gold claim that their SAM Coupe version of Strider will take only two weeks - take the code from the Speccy version and add the graphics from the Atari ST... The game never got finished. (1/2) #zxspectrum #retrogaming

Certainly this is news to me, considering that I got my Spectrum in 1990 when the mags were still plentiful, the cornershops were still teeming with budget games and the full-price titles were all in Woolworths, Smiths and the like. What a load of nonsense from The Register.

This #Atari Addict one-off magazine is really good. It strikes the right balance between old and new, with a finger on the pulse of the current retro scene. Nice work to all involved.

I've just uploaded *eighty* of Dave Lowe's personal game development disks to the Dave Lowe Disk Archive collection on Internet Archive!
archive.org/details/@dav...

This upload focuses on the tools Dave used, so there's lots of audio software, development tools, and audio libraries.
