I'm currently working out what to show at next month's Retro Computer Festival ( Gaming Edition ) at the Centre for Computing History. I'm bringing along a Master 128 or BBC Micro and will focus on game development for those machines. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The exhibitors are telling us what they're bringing to the RCF - and, wow, what a line up! PDPs and oscilloscopes from the dawn of gaming to brand new projects for the Sega Mega Drive - and into the future with the Spectrum Next! Tickets are selling fast - www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/74558/re...

Been quite a few weeks for the BBC Micro. Now we not only have effectively Zarch, now we have the first Beeb game to feature solid 3d graphics and texture mapping 😲

Check out Epsilon Protocol on Stardot (login required). Excellent game!

Superior Software placed this advert in several computer magazines in 1987 to find new software to publish. 8-bit home computer software sales were in decline and it was hard to find the right software. Their book 'Success in Software' was a very informative guide for would-be game developers.

Happy 39th Birthday to Galaforce - I'm a bit late. Seems like only yesterday when I was working on this game. Launched in September 1986 for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron, published by Superior Software. Music and SFX by Martin Galway, our 2nd game together. Addditional artwork by Paul Proctor.

I've been working on Ovation Pro to add extra scaling options to the picture proxy setting. For those who attended my @rougol.bsky.social talk, I explained the use of proxy images. Base/16, Base/32 & Base/64 now offer even smaller proxies, making for smaller document sizes.
