A few photo's of @graffias79.bsky.social's beautiful Amiga One 500 machine at the WCC's Green Bay show on 10.4.25. This is a piece of kit I'd always wanted back when it was "new" so it was a treat to take it for a spin at the show!

Arbitrary post about the Casio Loopy on it's anniversary tour with us! Maddest props again to @partlyhuman.com for making this all possible with the Floopy Drive and the English language translation of the crazy dog game so folks can actually get into the Loopy!

Is Facebook super broken for everyone today, or is it just me? 😅

For all that money Meta has, it's wild that their site is still a clunky mess all the time.

The Wisconsin Computer Club's show in Green Bay on 10.4.25 was a blast! Many thanks to all who came out to experience all these great old machines and talk shop with the club and I! Looking forward to our next visit to Titletown!

Machines on the tables across the back wall (partly visible around guests) include: Amiga 1200, Amiga 500, NEC PC Engine Core Grafx, Amiga One 500, Nintendo Virtual Boy, Sega Dreamcast, Tandy 1100FD, Apple 2GS. Free stuff we were giving away is in boxes at the front of the room. Guests enjoy a WCC show.

Mr. Moran's video-to-text demo, now in full motion and high resolution! The old camera (left) inputs video data to a small computer, which translates the image into text characters to recreate the displayed image in real time. This is a technical triumph a year in the making! Mr. Mijal's "corner" of the show, featuring an IBM PS/2 model 60 computer, Apple Macintosh Classic, Tandy 1000, and apple 2GS.

An absolutely stunning setup! Several of our members and I had a chance to talk with her, and her knowledge and passion for these unusual machines is unmatched!

I forgot to post up my VCFMW table setup yesterday. There were so many lovely folks to chat with and share my love of these systems with.

The lead-up work for conventions is so stressful, but seeing so many folks connect with systems from Japan makes it all worthwhile.
Six systems set up on tables - Casio Loopy, NEC PC-9821, Fujitsu FM-NEW7, Sharp X68000, Sharp MZ-1500, and Panasonic A1 MSX2 - playing different games or running different software.

We're doing something silly on a very unusual machine this Saturday in Green Bay! 😁

Wanted to get some swag speakers for the Brewster, and one ebay search night later I have these Roland MA-12C! They look and sound excellent :)

As someone who only got a Dreamcast earlier this year, I wholeheartely agree with the cozy moniker for it. I guess it has more to do with the console's (and its games') Y2K aesthetics above all else.

SEGA Dreamcast is probably my "coziest" console.

I feel happier and more peaceful when I play Dreamcast games. Maybe I'm nostalgic for this era of SEGA, but I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

It wasn't here for long, but it left a huge mark for me.

There are also printer and tape expansions. There's even a floppy drive, but I've not managed to find one. Yet.

A few more photos from #VCFMW!

We have even more photos stashed on the WCC forums, and will continue to post more as I have time. This is a tremendous show!

VCFMW is probably my favorite show of the year. #vcfmw
A display of vintage 50s and 60s televisions, each showing something from their era. A woodgrain console TV is on the bottom, and a Philco sits on top of it. A display showing a 4-bit CPU made entirely of relays.

It's being displayed with a pink Disney Princess branded CRT television. A 4-bit counter made with vacuum tubes. It's about the size of a breadbox.
