@KevinToms Dragon 32!!!

CAVE FIGHTER (1983) Fly fast, shoot straight, and drop that 'Z' bomb! Blaze through miles of enemy-infested caves in this joystick-gripping blast from Cable Software. Laser cannons. Force walls. Rockets. Bonus ships.
This is 8-bit danger with speech and scorched pixels!

What could you do with the Trojan Light Pen on a Dragon 32?
You could sketch in Trojan Paintbox, animate in Light Fantastic, or use custom graphics routines in BASIC!
Some hobbyists even coded light pen menus.
Not mainstream, but pure 8-bit innovation.

How did the Trojan Light Pen for the Dragon 32 work?
It detected electron beam position by sensing the moment your CRT's scanline hit the pen’s tip!
The Dragon's CPU calculated X/Y based on scan timing.
No touchscreen. No mouse. Just pure 6847 VDG wizardry.

Ever heard of the Trojan Light Pen for the Dragon 32?
This magical wand turned your CRT screen into a drawing tablet—80s style!
Draw, design, and defy the mouse era before it began.
A curious blend of science, art, and phosphor!

🖥️ The Dragon 32 was my '80s childhood! Welsh-born, 32KB of 8-bit magic, clacky keys, & *Hunchback* battles after school. That green BASIC screen still gives me chills. Who else loved this retro beast? 💾😍 #Dragon32 #RetroComputing #80sNostalgia #VintageTech #8BitDreams

Just one more line of code before bed…
The soft hum of the CRT, the glow of the lava lamp, and dreams powered by 8-bit wonder.
Long live the bedroom coders of the '80s. #Dragon32 #RetroComputing #BASIC #HomebrewHistory

Booting up the Dragon 32...
That green glow.
That Microsoft BASIC prompt.
That OK staring back at you like it's 1983 and you're about to write your first game.
No mouse. No internet. Just pure 8-bit magic.

Stepping up to the Dragon 64! 💾 More RAM (64K!) and that handy RS-232 port. A solid machine building on the Dragon 32's legacy. #Dragon64 #RetroComputer #8bit #VintageComputing
