Somehow I got on 80s micro computer bluesky and now all I want to do is buy an original Acorn Electron and play Crazee Rider (loaded from cassette) #microcomputer #acornelectron

The Acorn Electron was meant to make the BBC Micro tech more accessible and offer a compact and affordable home machine. Delays meant it missed the 1983 Christmas market, limiting its impact. I do wonder how much timing affected its place in computing history?

An Acorn Electron computer is connected to a Sharp CRT monitor, displaying Chuckie Egg, a classic 8-bit platform game. The game screen features a character navigating ladders and platforms while collecting eggs and avoiding obstacles. The Electron’s beige keyboard is visible in the foreground. To the left, a few game cassette cases are resting on the carpet.

This is a bit more realistically priced, but only because it includes a pretty rare working Plus 3 disk drive. #AcornElectron #RetroGaming

I had a full set of these in binders. Got left in the shed and wrecked when it and the box they were in leaked 😭 I was gutted. Looks like I used them BITD too ...

On the up side, my #AcornElectron did survive the flooding.
