I've finally finished pimping my David Braben-signed BBC Micro B+, and it can now run more variants of Bell & Braben Elite than any other contemporary machine ever.

The #BBCMicro B+ is officially the Commander-in-Chief of #8bit #Elite. 🫡

See thread for details.

Mistigram: a flock of bats flutters from the haunted towers of a castle out into the moonlight over the moorland. This #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen was made by @pixelblip.bsky.social and included in the spooky MIST1023 artpack collection released two years ago this month.

The #BBCMicro in #DoctorWho: the equation game in The Twin Dilemma uses mosaic characters, of the sort found in #teletext. Each one corresponds to a normal text character and together they hold the secret wisdom of video engineer Dave Chapman.
Video engineer Dave Chapman Romulus Sylvest, brother of Remus – using his genius to do mathematical equations recreationally. The pixels that make up mosaic characters called 'sixels' because the mosaic characters hold up to six pixels, in various configurations. For example, the mosaic corresponding to letter f is made from three sixels: one in each of the three rows of the mosaic character.

Holy moly - someone's only gone and made David Braben's Zarch/Virus for the BBC Micro!

Angus Hughes has effectively achieved the impossible - it has all of the speed of the Archimedes original.

Stunning!

A rare IRL pic. I used some of my hiatus to put up these shelves next to my desk. It's dead space only 7cm ( <3" ) deep and now it holds my collection of retro computers.

When I do my #retro streams these are what I use

3 old computers sat almost vertically on 3 narrow shelves next to a computer desk. They are all the classic design where the keyboard is part of the computer housing Top: Commodore Amiga 1200 Middle: Sinclair ZX Spectrum +3 Bottom: BBC Master 128 Also visible in the pic is a ladder in the bottom left corner and the desk has headphones, a USB soundcard and a monitor. The rest of the desk is out of shot

Mistigram: the name of this #BBCMicro hirez illustration by @blippypixel is also the punchline to the old joke about how you get to Carnegie Hall: "practice". This piece was included in the new music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection.

One of the best examples of genre defining games in history.

Spent so many hours playing on my #c64 and friends #bbcmicro. Elite Dangerous is also great but my 51 year-old brain resists the additional complexity of the game play.

Mistigram: this @blippypixel #BBCMicro graphics screen, "Meteyeverse", strikes me as the Ludovico technique from A Clockwork Orange by way of Neuralink trials today. It was included in last month's science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.
A sweaty-faced man in a darkened blue room, head covered in unruly tangles of hair and cables beneath a helmet of sorts, desperately looks around unseeing through flaming red goggles.

Strangely enough, the end of 1982 in All the Adventures is within sight! Here is my final list of games, including Apple II, North Star, and the Victor Lambda computer out of France.

Mistigram: somewhere out in the wilds of London, @pixelblip.bsky.social encountered a #graffiti portrait of Hanna-Barbera's #TopCat cartoon character, and reproduced it as a #BBCMicro finger painting. This piece was included in the new unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

Mistigram: here's a sampling of the variety of subjects & artistic approaches to be found in the new science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack, featuring original and fanart of celebrated franchises, in vintage computing graphics formats such as #ANSIart, #teletext & #BBCMicro hirez graphics.
A three by three grid demonstrates blocky square thumbnails of art about robots large and small, spaceships and UFOs, artificial intelligence, cyberspace and offworld colonies.
