This week, we're joined by the brilliant Tobias Kopka—aka Melkor of Haujobb—as we explore the importance of the demo scene. We explore how this underground digital art movement went from C64 crack intros to global recognition through the ‘Art of Coding' UNESCO initiative. From the days of 2,000 sweaty kids attending events like The Gathering to international cultural bids, Tobias shares some amazing stories, including running demos on ATMs and sending them into space!  Contents: 00:00 - The Week's Retro News Stories  39:49 - Tobias Kopka Interview Please visit our amazing sponsors and help to support the show: Bitmap Books - https://www.bitmapbooks.com Take your business to the next level today and enjoy 3 months of Shopify for £1/month: https://shopify.co.uk/retrohour The Retro Hour Book: https://retrohour.myshopify.com/ We need your help to ensure the future of the podcast, if you'd like to help us with running costs, equipment and hosting, please consider supporting us on Patreon: https://theretrohour.com/support/ https://www.patreon.com/retrohour Get your Retro Hour merchandise: https://bit.ly/33OWBKd Join our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/GQw8qp8 Website: http://theretrohour.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theretrohour/ X: https://twitter.com/retrohouruk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/retrohouruk/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theretrohour.com Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theretrohour Show notes Wii Homebrew Channel closes: https://tinyurl.com/yy32spc4 Frontier Force: https://tinyurl.com/53uy5u54 Breakspace Spectrum magazine – Issue 1 released: https://breakspace.itch.io/issue-1 Toys R Us – the movie: https://tinyurl.com/48trvmhm Linecraft for Pico-8: https://tinyurl.com/5cbyrynu

Es ist endlich so weit: Unsere Retrorunde ist wieder da! Bereits vor einigen Monaten hatten wir eine Umfrage bei den UnterstützerInnen der „Einflussreichen Insider“-Klasse und höher gestartet und ihnen zwei legendäre C64-Spiele zur Auswahl gestellt: Wizball und Paradroid. Am Ende siegte klar Paradroid aus der Feder des Briten Andrew Braybrook – ein innovatives Actionspiel mit strategischen Elementen, das 1985 den 8-Bit-Heimcomputer von Commodore im Sturm eroberte. Warum dies der Fall war, wie der Hit zu Stande kam, welche Nachfolger und Varianten existieren und warum Paradroid bis heute irgendwie einmalig geblieben ist – all das und vieles mehr klären Benedikt und Andy in der neuen Retrorunde! Zudem kommt Patrick Becher vom Podcast Retrokompott in einem ausführlichen O-Ton zu Wort. Viel Spaß beim Hören! Benedikt & Andy

Von Diskettenviren über LAN-Party-Würmer bis hin zu gehackten Streaming-Accounts – in dieser Folge sprechen wir über die wachsenden Cybergefahren in der Gamingwelt.

Our show takes us back in time to the pleasant summer vibes of Malibu Bikini Volleyball, a no-frill sports game released in 1993 for the underdog Atari Lynx handheld, developed by Hand Made Software and composed by Paul Tonge. Hand Made Software was a boutique first- (or second-) party game developer that produced original games exclusively for the Lynx and Jaguar from about 1990 to 1995, with a handful of previously unreleased games making their way out in the early 2000s. While this game is a pretty self explanatory late-era volleyball game for the Lynx, the music is definitely worth checking out. English composer Paul Tonge is a multi-talented musician, sound designer, sound driver developer, game producer and music director that worked from the late 80s to the early 2000s, starting on the C64 and Amiga and eventually retiring from games around the GBA era. He worked on games such as: Tinhead, The Tick, George Foreman for Real, and Samurai Jack: The Amulet of Time as well as working on a number of sound drivers across multiple console generations. It's a leisurely episode where we finally take the time for a deeper dive on Lynx sound and graphics hardware. We also cover Paul's work with "Sound Images", his joint audio production company with composer Tony Williams, and Paul's eventual work with Software Creations, the British software developer that was a powerhouse of game audio talent in the 90s even if their games were just alright. In any case, sit back and enjoy this early 90s mixtape of beachy volleyball tunes!

From a bedroom coder to Game Developer's Conference OG to the creator of one of the greatest one-on-one action strategy games of the 8 bit era, Jeff Johannigman worked for some of the most legendary companies of the 80s, Epyx, Electronic Arts, and Origin.   In Part 1, we talk about those early days, including the making of games such as G.I. Joe and Savage Empire and working with important figures like Ihor Wolosenko, Dani Bunten, Chris Crawford, Warren Spector, and Richard Garriot. Jeff's insight and storytelling skill make this a wonderful chat.

We're working on getting some fun emulators ported to the FruitJam https://www.adafruit.com/product/6200. Of course, we wanted to start with the C64, so when we found the MCUME https://github.com/Jean-MarcHarvengt/MCUME emulator project with many retro machines already done and ported to popular microcontrollers, we got right to checking it out! Here, Jepler is testing out the C64 with video output on HSTX. Next up is the keyboard, but for now, it's fun to test out the famous 10 print... goto 10 script https://10print.org and watch the vibes generate.

1985 erscheint mit Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? ein Spiel, das Bildung und Unterhaltung auf ungewöhnliche Weise verbindet. Entwickelt von Brøderbund, schlüpft der Spieler in die Rolle eines Ermittlers bei der ACME Detective Agency und jagt Carmen Sandiego, die mysteriöse Meisterdiebin, und ihre Bande um die ganze Welt. Dabei sammelt man Indizien, lernt geografische Fakten und kombiniert clever, um die richtige Fährte zu finden. Christian und Gunnar sprechen in dieser Folge über die Entstehung des Spiels, seine ungewöhnliche Mischung aus Lernspiel und Detektiv-Abenteuer und wie es in den 80er Jahren den Grundstein für eine langlebige Spielereihe legte. Wir haben für diese Episode mit einem der Macher des Spiels gesprochen: Lauren Elliott. Seine Stimme hört ihr an ein paar Stellen im Podcast, das Interview kommt aber wie gewohnt auch nochmal separat. Infos zum Spiel: Thema: Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Erscheinungstermin: Mai 1985 Plattform: Apple II, später DOS, C64, TRS-80 und Konsolen-Portierungen Entwickler: Brøderbund Publisher: Brøderbund Genre: Rätselspiel Designer: Dane Bigham, Lauren Elliott, Gene Portman u.a Podcast-Credits: Sprecher: Christian Schmidt, Gunnar Lott Audioproduktion: Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Paul Schmidt Intro, Outro: Nino Kerl (Ansage); Chris Hülsbeck (Musik)

Floppy Days 147 - Lorenzo Hagerty, Dynasty Computers Hello, and welcome to episode 147 of the Floppy Days Podcast, for January, 2025.  I am Randy Kindig, your host for this podcast. This month is another interview from my backlog, as I continue to get the opportunity for interviews with some amazing icons from the early personal computer days.  This month, that person is Lorenzo Hagerty, who founded Dynasty Computer Corporation in 1979.  Dynasty was the first network marketing company to exclusively carry the then new home computers with a repackaged Exidy Sorcerer. If you recall, this was a couple of years before IBM brought out their first PC. I've had a few recent interviews with people involved with the Exidy Sorcerer, including Howell Ivy, Paul Terrell, and Vic Tolomei.  However, this is the first one with someone from outside Exidy, who purchased the Sorcerer in bulk and repackaged it for the general public. Please note that I do plan to get back into producing episodes covering specific vintage computers.  Coming up in 2025 will be coverage of machines like the HP97, the Lobo Max-80, the Dragon, and the C64.  Research for those is underway, so expect those soon.  

Sarunas Ledas has a rich story in the game industry, starting out in the fan-made Broken Sword 2.5, becoming the co-owner of the Lithuanian game studio Tag of Joy which released Crowns And Pawns, to the upcoming sequel of A Vampyr's Story in co-operation with famous point and click adventure pioneer Bill Tiller. We talk about the whole journey he took from making a hobby due to his love for games to a living. Enjoy! The interview starts at minute 48:02

In our new episode we welcome Fritz Philipp, creator of GUI64, an amazing graphical user interface for your Commodore 64. It was just released and makes your good old C64 look more modern than ever before! Check it out! The interview starts at minute 23:41

The surprising history of the Commodore 64, the best-selling home computer of the 1980s—the machine that taught the world that computing should be fun. The Commodore 64 (C64) is officially the best-selling desktop computer model of all time, according to The Guinness Book of World Records. It was also, from 1985 to 1993, the platform for which most video games were made. But although it sold at least twice as many units as other home computers of its time, such as the Apple II, ZX Spectrum, or Commodore Amiga, it is strangely forgotten in many computer histories. In Too Much Fun: The Five Lives of the Commodore 64 Computer (MIT Press, 2024), Jesper Juul argues that the C64 was so popular because it was so versatile, a machine developers and users would reinvent again and again over the course of 40 years. First it was a serious computer, next a game computer, then a computer for showcasing technical brilliance (graphical demos using the machine in seemingly impossible ways), then a struggling competitor, and finally a retro device whose limitations are now charming. The C64, Juul shows, has been ignored by history because it was too much fun. Richly illustrated in full color, this book is the first in-depth examination of the C64's design and history, and the first to integrate US and European histories. Containing interviews with Commodore engineers as well as an insightful look at C64 games, music, and software, Too Much Fun will appeal to those who used a Commodore 64, those interested in the history of computing and video games and computational literacy, or just those who wish their technological devices would last longer. Rudolf Thomas Inderst (*1978) enjoys video games since 1985. He received a master's degree in political science, American cultural studies as well as contemporary and recent history from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and holds two PhDs in game studies (LMU & University of Passau). Currently, he's teaching as a professor for game design at the IU International University for Applied Science, has submitted his third dissertation at the University of Vechta, holds the position as lead editor at the online journal Titel kulturmagazin for the game section, hosts the German local radio show Replay Value and is editor of the weekly game research newsletter DiGRA D-A-CH Game Studies Watchlist.

Interview with Dan Bricklin, VisiCalc Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics  Arcade Shopper  FutureVision Research   Hello, and welcome to episode 146 of the Floppy Days Podcast, for December, 2024.  I am Randy Kindig, your host for this podcast. This month I'm staying with the recent interview theme, as I continue to get the opportunity for interviews with some amazing icons from the early personal computer days. This month, that person is Dan Bricklin, co-developer of the iconic VisiCalc software that helped kickstart the sales of early personal computers like the Apple II and began the important spreadsheet software category that persists until today.  I published an interview with Dan's partner in VisiCalc (and in Software Arts), Bob Frankston, back in 2023, and now Dan adds to the story in his own words. Please note that I do plan to get back into producing episodes covering specific vintage computers.  I've just had an amazing run of interview opportunities in recent months, which has reduced the time I had to do the research on computers for the podcast.  Coming up in 2025 will be coverage of machines like the HP97, the Lobo Max-80, the Dragon, and the C64.
