Check out this #retrocomputing behemoth!

I ate the banana to give me enough energy to lift this #vintage #PC down from the workbench, so CD case for scale.

Hands up everyone who had a (shady) copy of PSION Chess on their PC back in the late 1980s / early 1990s!

I saw an inexpensive listing on eBay for a Logitech Sensa mouse last month, so I jumped on it without really looking at it - and the result arrived this week. As far as I can tell, "Sensa" was a sub-brand of their at-the-time MouseMan models, with interesting external finishes - I've seen wood-grain, carbon fibre, and... whatever this thing is, Damascus Plastic? #retrocomputing

A photo of the underside of the mouse, showing the ball (this pre-dates optical mice by some time) and the sticker which names it as a Logitech MouseMan Sensa.

Can anyone recommend a #roguelike for the #c64 or even the #commodorepet? Period or modern, either is fine as long as it's fun.

Image of a fake video game concept I came up with. Here, I'm playing a "choose your own adventure" style game based on the movie The Ring, and my 2 choices are "Watch Tape" and "Don't watch tape." I picked the wrong choice, because the evil ghose with long black hair is coming out of the TV in the game and is crawling towards us. Digital painting I made in 2023 on an original Amiga computer using Deluxe Paint III.
One of my earliest digital paintings made on an Amiga computer using Deluxe Paint III. This is based on the classic TRON movie power where two characters from the film are standing in front of the letter "O" with a beam of light going straight up from the man's hands.
Easily the most difficult image I've ever done in Deluxe Paint. This one nearly broke me. It has the "Heavy Metal" logo in the background with the original "Amiga" logo below that. On the right side, a depiction of a beautiful female robot designed by Hajime Sorayama looking out at the viewer.

When I was a youngster in the late 1980s, I formed an Amiga game dev team with 2 friends.

Before making games, we started by trying to sell game music that used minimal RAM, made with our music editor SIDmon.

To promote our game music, this energetic music module was composed by our musician Ramon Braumuller. The file, including tiny sampled sounds, is only 22 kilobytes.

Check the #TeamHoi hashtag for more tunes.
