For 8-bit home computing fans, Thalamus is one of the great names of the late 80s and early 90s, publishing classics such as Creatures I & II, Hunters Moon, Hawkeye and Armalyte. When the company went bankrupt in the early 1990s, everyone thought the story was over - but the rights to the games were bought by former Commodore Format games writer Andy Roberts, and the company was reborn. This interview with Andy Roberts tells the full story of Thalamus's heyday, decline and return, including insights into the 80s/90s games industry, writing for Zzap64! and Commodore Format, publishing games in the early noughties and two of the latest games, Ceccanoid and Roguecraft.

This week's pick is nostalgic for a time before machinima... its a rare look back at the demoscene era that informed and influenced the evolution of machinima all those years ago.  The film selection is called We Are Demo, made in 2016 by Fairlight, Noice, Offence, and it was originally shared on X by the Commodore Computer Museum. Check out our review and thoughts, and do add your comments on our YouTube channel.Phil introduces the film We Are Demo, which was made in 2016 using technology from the 1980s and 1990sThe film is a tribute to the demoscene, and the Commodore 64Phil explains the demoscene and its requirement for both technical and artistic skills.We discuss the historical context of the demo scene and a few anecdotes from some early experiencesThe demoscene was a way for creators to self-promote and showcase their skills, often incorporating their team logos into the demosPhil examines the use of the SID chip, which limited music to three notes of polyphony, explaining how composers overcame some key limitationsWe Are Demo adheres to the musical limitations, using the SID chip to create the musicIs it all about nostalgia and creativity involved in creating music and visuals within these technical constraints?We discuss the visual and musical style of the film, and how it is faithful to the era of the demosceneWhat's the role of an emulator these days, a discussion inspired by the film.Ricky recalls the SIGGRAPH conferences and the demoscene meetings We reminisce about the unique community and artistic spirit of the demoscene, which is similar to the early days of machinima.What are your thoughts about this pick – add some comments in the discussion below about whether the demo scene is something only older generations will appreciate.Credits:Speakers: Ricky Grove, Phil Rice, Damien ValentineEditor/Producer: Phil RiceMusic: Animo Domini Beats

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.

Auf Halbleitermaterialen basierende Chips haben in den letzten Jahrzehnten bahnbrechende technologische Entwicklungen ermöglicht. Nur ein Paar Beispiele: die Massenproduktion und die Miniaturisierung haben uns von kühlschrankgroßen Computern zur Smartwatch geführt, Navigationssysteme führen uns punktgenau von A nach B. Die Kehrseite der Medaille: Satelliten, künstliche Intelligenz, Google Maps, Elektroautos, ... und noch viel meeeehr sind ohne Chips undenkbar! Begeben wir uns in eine gefährliche Abhängigkeit? Die Longs versuchen in dieser Folge, euch mit ihrem gefährlichen Halbwissen einige Einblicke in dieses spannende Thema zu gewähren.

The Commodore 64 is one of those systems that feels simultaneously ubiquitous and also unknown. It was the best selling home computer in the 80's and is loved the world over by a large group of passionate fans. But outside of that group it feels largely forgotten in the annals of gaming history. This episode is a small step in correcting that. I'm joined by game design professor and author Jesper Juul to talk about his recently released book "Too Much Fun: The Five Lives of the Commodore 64", which is a book that aims to shed more light on one of the most important computer systems in not only gaming history but also computer history. Jesper and I have a wonderful conversation about why this book is needed, what kinds of things can readers expect to find in the book and some of my personal favorite sections. Maybe we just had a little too much fun with this conversation as well.

This week on the Podcast, Hackaday's Elliot Williams and Kristina Panos joined forces to bring you the latest news, mystery sound, and of course, a big bunch of hacks from the previous week. First up in the news: we've extended the 2024 Supercon Add-On contest by a week! That's right, whether you were held up by Chinese fall holidays or not, here's your chance to get in on this action. We love to see the add-ons people make for the badge every year, so this time around we're really embracing the standard. The best SAOs will get a production run and they'll be in the swag bag at Hackaday Europe 2025. What's That Sound pretty much totally stumped Kristina once again, although she kind of earned a half shirt. Can you get it? Can you figure it out? Can you guess what's making that sound? If you can, and your number comes up, you get a special Hackaday Podcast t-shirt. Then it's on to the hacks, beginning with what actually causes warping in 3D prints, and a really cool display we'd never heard of. Then we'll discuss the power of POKE when it comes to live coding music on the Commodore64, and the allure of CRTs when it comes to vintage gaming. Finally, we talk Hackaday comments and take a look at a couple of keyboards. Check out the links if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!

Is technology out to get us, Slackers?With the looming threat of AI, I wanted to take a look at all of the technological advancements that have happened just in our lifetime. Remember your first computer? Or your first cell phone?With the 1971 introduction of the Intel 4004 microprocessor, the pace in which tech has moved is terrifying. Even something that now seems so quaint, like the Sony Walkman, was the first big leap forward for personal, portable devices. Apple and Microsoft have been at this since the 70's and still going strong today, while so many others have fallen by the wayside. Remember Netscape or when Compaq was the computer brand in the 90's? I remember my first real accounting job and falling in love with Lotus 1-2-3 - despite needing to save my data to a floppy disk and bring it to another machine that was running Windows 2.1 - just to produce our nightly reports!PCs. The Internet. Email. Cell phones. GPS systems. All of these entered into daily life within about 20 years. Now all of that those elements are available on phones that fit in the palms of our hands. Not to mention the fact that we now have self driving cars! What does the future have in store?

Does anyone read magazines anymore? Magazines used to be a pretty big deal, and even though print is nearly dead in this digital world, TIME magazine continues to survive. Most notably it's annual "Person of the Year" issue.This week we take a look at the "Person" - sometimes multiple people, sometimes "things" - of each year of the 80's. From Ronald Reagan to Mikhail Gorbachev, the Cold War was a major factor in determining the winners of each year.Technology, climate change, Nobel Peace prize winners are all represented, but the leaders of the US & USSR dominated the decade. And do you remember the "syringe tide"?!Also, sorry in advance - my stupid cough is back - and I also share the sad tale of my depressed dog, and the potential demise of a woman named Linda (you'll have to hear the story for yourself).

Auf den erfolgreichen Billig-Heimcomputer VC-20 lässt Commodore 1982 ein höherwertiges Modell folgen: den Commodore 64 mit dem unerhörtem Speicherausbau auf 64 Kilobyte RAM. Durch revolutionäre Technik, aggressive Preisgestaltung und ein explodierendes Softwareangebot verdrängt der C64 bald viele Mitbewerber und etabliert sich selbst – sowie den Computer insgesamt – als eine der populärsten Spieleplattformen überhaupt. Henner und Gunnar erzählen die Geschichte dieser faszinierenden Maschine, erläutern die Technologie und sprechen - natürlich - auch eine Weile über die besten Spiele für die Plattform.

I share some historical computer game finds that I have found cleaning out my childhood home, including some advertisements about Commodore 64 adventure games and how much they would cost in 2023 dollars. Sega is set to buy Rovio Entertainment, the makers of Angry Birds. (This has since been confirmed.) However, a more interesting story is how Rovio is trying to run away from the original Angry Birds by delisting it and pointing people to more microtransaction-heavy sequels rather than the $1 original. A new in-person event called "Nintendo Live" is coming to Seattle in September, which is something they've done in Japan over the past few decades but never in the US. Then we talk to Rob about Rovio and Nintendo Live.

C64 OS has one goal. Make a Commodore 64 feel fast and useful in today's modern world. It's a very high bar. The C64 was introduced in 1982 and has an 8-bit, 1MHz, 6510 CPU with just 64 kilobytes of directly addressable memory. It has a screen resolution of 320x200 pixels, and a fixed palette of 16 colors. But, it is an incredibly versatile machine. And it enjoys an active userbase and a great variety of modern hardware expansions. How did Gregory Naçu do it in 2022?Buy https://c64os.com now!
