We revisit the emulator settlement from last week with some clarifications from someone who is more knowledgeable in the inner workings of that scene than we are. Some emulator developers have gotten spooked enough to take their emulators offline, others have more resolve with more safeguards. Digital Eclipse's second entry in the Gold Master Series is out - Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story. It shows that Jeff is a master of the VIC20, but ends abruptly in 1994 - even though Jeff's story is still being told. The Museum of Play has announced the 2024 World Video Game Hall of Fame finalists - who would you vote for? Then we talk to OLR about Llamasoft games that we might have played as kids, and who we would pick for the World Video Game Hall of Fame.
Con orgoglio presentiamo un nuovo episodio delle interviste di Archeologia Informatica, un'intervista decisamente più lunga del solito, l'intervista ad Alessandro Aleotti, in arte J-AX!In questa intervista scopriremo un J-AX probabilmente per molti dei nostri ascoltatori inedito, chi lo conosce solo per la sua musica non immagina forse che lui è uno di "noi", qualcuno che ha vissuto in prima persona la storia dell'informatica e del videogioco e che ne è appassionato.Scopriremo quale è stato il suo primo incontro con un computer e cosa è successo, cosa ha fatto, cosa ha studiato e come grazie anche a questa passione, unita alla passione per la musica, lo ho fatto diventare quello che è diventato.J-Ax, un appassionato della storia della tecnologia informatica e del videogioco, una passione per qualcosa che non è così comune, un vero "Archeologo Informatico".Buona visione!Canale ufficiale Instagram di J-AX: https://www.instagram.com/j.axofficialDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/archeologia-informatica--1679776/support.

In this episode, John and Dave talk about the use of emulation vs original hardware when it comes to retro gaming and computing. Emulation is the process of running old games on modern devices, such as computers or smartphones. Original hardware is the actual console or computer that the game was designed for. Both options have their pros and cons, and it ultimately depends on your personal preference and budget. Listen to this episode for some great discussion on this topic. Dave also gets John's opinion about the requirement for a RAM expansion unit to run games on retro hardware when they discuss the recent port of Sonic the Hedgehog to the Commodore 64.

In this episode, John and Dave talk about how they got started in 8 bit computers and gaming. John talks about his love for the Atari 800XL, the Vectrex and other machines. Dave talks about his admiration of the Commodore 64 and how he almost got a VIC20 instead. The guys talk about BBSes, trading pizza subs for floppy disks and a lot more!

Vic20 is a graffiti writer who had an infamous run in the early 2000s along with his crew KUK (Kill Until Killed). Vic grew up in the North Bay and later moved to San Francisco, where he got introduced to graffiti through the skateboarding scene. After getting up with writers like Jade and Amaze, joining THR crew, and developing his style, Vic decided to forge his own path in graffiti with some like-minded friends. This was the beginning of KUK crew, who went on a notorious streak of vandalism around the bay. After getting up on transit, housing projects, and BART stations, KUK became a law enforcement target and the members' houses were raided. After a short time on the run, eventually Vic20 had to sit down for some county jail time. He's done his time, paid his dues, and overcome the realities of a hardcore graffiti lifestyle. Now he's doing well as a family man and showed up to the podcast to share his unique perspective on graffiti in the Bay Area. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/historyofthebay/support
No family name is more associated with the early popularization of computers than Tramiel. We speak with Leonard Tramiel, son of Commodore co-founder Jack Tramiel about his life growing up around tech, his role in Commodore's earliest machines and becoming VP of Software at Atari. In this first part of our interview Leonard talks about programming Commodore calculators, advising his dad on the entry into computers, creating PETSCII, Jack's departure from Commodore, and the start of what would become the Atari ST. Recorded March 2022.

No company did more to make computers household items than Commodore. Many great names are associated with that success, Chuck Peddle, Jack Tramiel, Irving Gould, and many more, but maybe more important than any of them was the man that made sure the funds for such lofty goals were available, that man was Don Greenbaum, banker and later treasurer of Commodore. We talk about those early days at Commodore, the rise to mass market greatness, the exit of Jack Tramiel, and the acquisition of the Amiga. Recorded November 2021.

Hola a todos amigos .. estrenamos temporada !!! No vamos a hacer el chiste facil de "La vuelta al cole" porque algunos hemos estado estudiando todo el Verano y no nos hemos ido a nuestro apartamento en Torrevieja que nos tocó en el Un, dos Tres.. (ufff.. que mayores somos !!!) Bueno... seguimos en la brecha y en esta ocasion hacemos un pequeño especial "robos y latrocinios varios" en el que "la alegre pandilla" se nos confiesa ante todos y nos contarán pequeños (o grandes) robos en los que han sido participes. Al hilo de todo ello, en la sección "cartas en el tiempo", nuestro compañero Francis nos mostrará como se "autoplagiaban" algunos al principio de los 80s armados tan solo de un modesto Vic20. Estrenamos NUEVA sección comandada por el gran IMSAI llamada "Reinsertando al Yayotrasto" en el que trataremos mes a mes, diversos aparatos para traer hasta el siglo XXI a nuestras queridas máquinas pero todo desde un nivel muy muy de usuario final. Por ultimo, y en un tono bastante mas serio, hablaremos con nuestro buen amigo Nicogalis y la polemica levantada en algunos sitios en relación a sus creaciones originales para Amiga CD32 Todo esto y mucho menos.. ataviado de rosco flotador todavía y helados de crocanti... son nuestras casi tres horas de bla bla, jua jua y vamos que nos vamos Ah !!! despedimos al gran "Alex fanboy" que parte hacia tierras granadinas a "estudiar" (eso dice) y solo deseamos que vuelva pronto y nos traiga historias interesantes de ese piso que va a compartir con otras CUATRO estudiantes !!! XD Hasta el mes próximo !!! Josua Ckultur

Stefaan Lesage, @stefaanlesage op Twitter of via de Devia website. Gast Wammes Witkop, bekend in Nederland van het MSX Computer Magazine en tegenwoordig PC-Active Feestje! Een speciale opname deze keer. Ter gelegenheid van de 45e podcast gaan we terug in de tijd. Onderwerpen zijn deze keer per panellid: Stefaan: Commodore lanceert na de Vic20 de Commodore 64. De Amiga werd geboren in 1987 Schrijft zijn eerste echt applicatie ... een kennis zijn videotheek / kledingzaak draaide volledig op een Amiga (alles in AmigaBasic geschreven). Marco: Zijn 1e computer: Goldstar FC200 MSX1 - later opgevolgd door MSX2, MSX2+, TurboR Flop van het decennium op computer (marketing) gebied: Elan Enterprise -- technisch mooi, marketing flop - uiteindelijk meeste in hongarije - ISBASIC - meerdere programma's in geheugen mogelijk (toen uniek) De jaren 80 computerclubs en scenes - FAC (Federation Against Commodore) - MSX Gebruikersclubs - kopieren van diskettes - demo's Cindy: Game & Watch brengt Mickey Mouse uit op Wide Screen, een jaar later volgt Donkey Kong Jr op New Wide Screen. Mijn persoonlijke favoriet is Egg uit 1981, waarbij je eieren opvangt die door kippen gelegd worden. Dokter Bibber onder de kerstboom in 1984. Blijkt een game uit 1965 te zijn, maar dat doet er niet toe hé. 1997 Abo bij eerste internetprovider Ping Davy: In november brengt Casio een high-end G-Shock uit, de codenaam is momenteel de Frogman. In augustus 1995 brengt Nintendo de Virtual Boy uit! Op 7 mei 1997 brengt Intel de Pentium II uit. Kan ik eindelijk mijn Pentium Pro vervangen! Kloksnelheden zullen tot 266 MHz gaan, wat véél meer is dan de huidige 200 Mhz van de Pro en bevat dezelfde technologie, de P6-core. Maarten: De Motorola DynaTAC wordt uitgebracht In 1984 komt de eerste echte Apple Mac, de Macintosh 128K uit. Jan: Nintendo brengt de gameboy op de markt. Ik heb mijn eerste e-verslaving Bij ons komt ergens in 1996-1997 de eerste modem binnen. Een 56K. Ik ontdek het internet, mail en alles. Lancering van Google in 1997, ik gebruikte altavista nog voor afbeeldingen, ik herinner me dat google daar in het begin niet zo goed in was. Wammes: In de jaren 80 waren de computerbeurzen heel groot - ooit klein begonnen, begin jaren tachtig, toen geëxplodeerd. Verkeer rond Utrecht liep vast in 1989 tijdens de HCC-dagen. Ook in België elk weekend meerdere grote verkoopbeurzen. En dat alles stortte weer ineen met WWW. Van eng tot algemeen - begin jaren tachtig werd je zcheef aangekeken als je computers leuk vond. Die dingen waren eng en dat was jij ook, als je dat anders zag. Nerds en Geeks werden echt omheen gelopen. Sinclair kondigt geheugenuitbreiding aan voor ZX81. Op 5 maart 1981 verscheen de ZX81 in de winkels, een homecomputer met 1 kB RAM geheugen. Waarvan een groot deel voor het scherm gebruikt werd, je had echt maar een paar honderd bytes vrij. Wat waren we blij met de gelijktijdig gelanceerde geheugenuitbreiding van 16 kB! Werd achterop geklikt, rechtstreeks op een aansluiting van het moederbordje. En owee als je gefrustreerd door de verschrikkelijke membraamtoetsjes te hard ging tikken - een wiebeltje van die cartridge en de handel resette zichzelf: weg je werk. Vaak opslaan op een cassetterecorder was overigens ook geen echte optie... WINNEN!
