Finally finished MINI-GHOSTS, the #C64 #tape version of Ghosts of Blackwood Manor. Had to rewrite chunks of the game's logic to split it in 2 parts. Might remain exclusive to those who opted for the perk via the ZZAP Kickstarter and not be part of the upcoming public release.

Just tested my newly designed PCB for Zeal 8-bit Computer: an extension board for the extension port! 😄 #retrocomputing #z80

Final testing underway for my newest version of Vezza -my #Infocom #zmachine #textadventure #retrogaming interpreter for #z80 based machines. This one is for the newest addition to #MAME by Robin Sergeant - the Research Machines 380Z (COS 4.0 B/F). This is Nord and Bert running:

I just release Zeal 8-bit OS v0.4.0 ! Lot of new features, including support for MMU-less #Z80-based computers (TRS-80 Model I added), CF card driver, Dvorak support, new syscalls, and more! Thanks Shawn Sijnstra for participating in this release! github.com/Zeal8bit/Zeal-…

Time for another bit of #retrogaming fun. I've always wanted to play Akalabeth - Lord British's start to the Ultima series. Well, using Óscar Toledo G. port to GW #BASIC, I've been able to quickly convert to BBC BASIC for the #AgonLight. My beta version: github.com/sijnstra/Akala…

So excited to see more physical releases using by infocom interpreter Vezza/M4ZVM!

I've improved the #AgonLight implementation of Daniel Martin's #TRSOS to make a more authentic #trs80 experience. Improving the display capabilities on #Agon was the goal. After many hours work (and help on the way), the results are great. Before & after. #RetroComputing

#EchoesOfTheFuture en castellano acaba de aterrizar en #MSX. Para mí, la pantalla de carga más bonita es la de este sistema. Si eres fan del estándar que quiso poner orden en el caos de los 8 bits, este viaje es para ti. Enlace de descarga en el siguiente post.
