@GamewithDave @scaryfish I’ve gone back to physical, built a late 80s early 90s hifi separates all mid high quality and proper set of speakers too. I’ve also got a WiiM ultimate for streaming connected to amp. I never got rid of vinyl, cassettes and CDs but are now listening to them again.

@JudgeDrokk Oh no that’s sad to hear I’ve spoken to him quite a few times over recent years as I still have all my original Roy Of The Rovers comics from childhood, was such a gentleman.

@ObsoleteSony @danvasc2 Over 20 years ago my dad and I had 40 inch CRT’s that he acquired from a bookmakers as they were being replaced by plasma TVs we needed a trolley to even move them. I think they were Mitsubishi

@The_Retro_Shack Oh no that’s awful I love your channel. I watch every episode as they come out.

@MuseumCommodore Played it originally on the Atari ST as I’m sure it was released on ST first and ported over to Amiga after

@JudgeDrokk Picked mine up other day big and heavy

[Eric Barlow @ericpaulbarlow]

@commodoreofcl @computesgazette I received mine today, thank you, I’ve been excited all day knowing it was getting delivered. I’ve not opened it yet and I’m thinking of maybe leaving it until Christmas Day morning 😁

[Eric Barlow @ericpaulbarlow]

@MarkFGrogan Glad to hear it Mark and continue being you and what makes you happy. I’m pleased to have met you on here and I’ve always enjoyed the chats over the years and long may it continue.

@ObsoleteSony I’m older than pong

[Eric Barlow @ericpaulbarlow]

@MarkFGrogan Similar for me, I started messing around with emulators early 2000s and then moved on to buying all the computers and consoles I had plus over time the ones I never had but would have liked and couldn’t afford. I now have a vast collection.

[Eric Barlow @ericpaulbarlow]

@rip_dean Still got my original from the 90s

[Eric Barlow @ericpaulbarlow]

@MarkFGrogan Good morning Mark yes, I’m currently in the process of building period correct PC’s from XT, 286,386,486 etc with the parts I still had and parts I’ve been sourcing. I’ve also been collecting Amiga and Atari stuff too.

[Eric Barlow @ericpaulbarlow]

@nyimski @JudgeDrokk Great stuff, I started writing my own a little while ago, this is my loading screen. I’ll take a look at yours. I’ve used an api to zxdb and it’s written in C# .net.

[Eric Barlow @ericpaulbarlow]

@MarkFGrogan Good luck Mark and all the best in your next chapter

[Eric Barlow @ericpaulbarlow]

@MarkFGrogan Couldn’t agree more, great to have met you here Mark with that shared passion for the old tech.

[Eric Barlow @ericpaulbarlow]

@GeordieMarv Congratulations just watched the final. It’s been a good day today. I follow the blue side of Glasgow.

How to make electronic dance music in 1990 with your Commodore Amiga 500. Interesting video.

Using an Amiga 500, Stereo Master and handful of $1 records from a 1990 Sunday market you could make studio quality dance-floor banger.
