🎉 Happy 40th to the Amiga! The machine that started my developer journey, working on the Eye of the Beholder series on this legendary platform, to recently lending my talents to Rogue Declan and Roguecraft. Here’s to the games, the community, and all the creative developers. 🥂Cheers

Radica made these 5 in 1 Space Invaders portable consoles back in 2004. Saw one for a good price unopened and went for it. Comes with 5 games, 4 of which I love. I look forward to trying Colony 7, the only game here I have never played!

Phoenix and Lunar Rescue are my faves, what's yours?

A very special #MODtober today. This is what happens when you don't have a soundchip. ZX Spectrum Beeper tune made in 1tracker. Check the youtube for more details and why it was a unique challenge to capture this one.

I cannot wait for this console. I really hope it jump starts a wave of new Indie Dev projects for it.

I took my Nintendo Switch 2 and XBOX Game Pass Ultimate money and put it aside for things like this new VECTREX. Let's go Indie Devs!

NO @xbox.com and @microsoft.com but I will NOT be renewing my subscription to XBOX Game Pass Ultimate. I will not pay $30 a month for this, NO WAY.

Also - Console price increases: Xbox Series X/S prices went up too, just weeks before the Game Pass hike. No thank you.

Sure has my attention

Just spotted a new Cyberpunk styled game on the ZX Spectrum called Sinclair City, grabbed it. This is one of those titles that makes me want to stream! Will give it some thought, any votes for that? I'll understand if the answer is no 🤣

You know what, I was hoping that rather larger screen behind them would activate, but the little one was rocking it.

My kind of excellent chaos! Love it

CoffeeCupArcade @coffeecuparcade.bsky.social · 1d

None that I can find so far. Everything seems well thought out, new settings app combines most settings together and I love it. Faster to boot, shutdown, file browser is great and snappy. Been moving files in and out of it since and no hiccups. Stable overclock to 2.8Ghz CPU and 1Ghz GPU.

SOLID

HIGHLY recommended!!! It's a very nice leap in performance and looks over the older OS

CoffeeCupArcade @coffeecuparcade.bsky.social · 2d

Raspberry Pi OS Trixie is the latest Pi OS featuring a refreshed desktop theme, a new Control Center, and massively improved performance. It includes thousands of updated packages and better hardware support, making it a significant upgrade!

I can verify it runs great!

Score is as follows thus far...

Nintendo, Disney, and XBOX Game Pass. 3 things I no longer have in my life because of ridiculous corporate greed.

Well it's taken a few years but we have finally made it. It took quite a bit to get it over the line in the end, but Lee Bee has done a phenomenal job on the music

BubbleBack, our sequel to Forward to the Past, now available for free on Itch.

Enjoy!

#MODtober Day 4:

You know you're doing something right when your tracked music entry causes the party to make a rule banning your entry. 🤣 But, srsly, it's a good tune too.
