Fun fact about the C16! After it bombed in the States, the leftover units were all converted to PAL and shipped to Europe. It gained a cult following in Eastern Europe (particularly Hungary), where its low price meant that people bought it in droves because most couldn't afford even the Soviet knockoffs. Hobbyists ported C64 and VIC-20 games to it, among others, and there was a thriving demoscene for it well into the 90s.

How cool is that! I do love the look of the C16 :-)

RetroGaming Shorts Part 101 - Lunar Landing

Lunar Landing 1985 (Commodore 16/Plus4)

This hybrid of Frogger and Lunar Rescue is interesting to me because the obstacles move in orbital arcs rather than straight left-right. The arcs are jerky due to being restricted to 8x8 char tile movements, but the overall result is smooth enough.

What is there to say about an Amiga 1000 that hasn't been said by people more qualified than I to say it.

This unit is more or less stock although showing no signs of life when I got it. The prior owner fitted a pistorm to it that unfortunately corrupted it's install and will need to be rebuilt but for the time being I have installed the MC68000 CPU in it and it came up immediately.

Here's a tip where my normal troubleshooting method backfired, the A1000 needs it's WOM board installed to do anything so stripping the system down to it's motherboard for testing will only render a brick.

On a successful POST as it is, the system will ask for it's kickstart disk and load from that. Then it asks for the workbench disk. which is the actual OS. Kickstart is the systems extended BIOs and is loaded into the WOM board which is then gated so it can only be read afterwards. Supposedly, once the WOM is loaded, even if the machine crashes, so long as it's reset and not power cycled, you won't need to load kickstart again, I have not tested this at this time.

Surprisingly using workbench is very easy if you are used to OS's like classic MacOS. However unlike the Mac, the disk drive has a mechanical eject button so no dragging anything to the trash can to eject a disk. Right now since I don't have any applications or games for it, I just have a booting machine and not much else.

A quirk of the system, I'm not sure if it's something wrong with my system or it's just how the A1000 behaves, it does not like an empty disk drive, if there's no disk present, it will seek the drive periodically looking for a disk. If a disk is present, it will try to read it and mount the disk on the desktop.

TO DO:

Acquire software and utilities

Get the Pistorm working and reinstalled.

Fix that sad 1084

Upgrades?

Long Term To Do? (Don't hold me to this list at all)

Custom expansion chassis?

[CW: FLASHING] (For the low framerate gif, not the actual demo)

I recreated the famous Commodore Amiga "Boing" demo on my website using pure CSS! No Javascript or <canvas> at all, just a ton of 3D transforms and hacky math.

It's sadly not currently compatible with Chromium-based browsers, though, so make sure to open it on Firefox* for it to render properly!

It was a ton of fun and I learned a lot making it~ Pure CSS has the potential to be a valid demoscene platform and I will drag it there myself if I have to, damn it.

*: ...or Safari, I guess, but I have only extensively tested it on Firefox.

Tiger Road

Released in 1987, Capcom’s Tiger Road puts you in the garb of warrior monk Lee Wong on a mission to rescue kidnapped children from the evil emperor Ryuken. Each of the game’s five levels takes place in a fortress helmed by a named boss, with design and architecture modeled after Chinese fantasy.
