Elite for the #AcornArchimedes was arguably the ultimate version of the original game. The physical items included were certainly unsurpassed, including 24 Ship Data Cards. The long-held tradition of naming ships in the game after snake species was no longer adhered to.
24 ship data cards, included with Acorn Archimedes Elite. The cards revealed each ship's Offensive Rating (OFFRAT) and Defensive Rating (DEFRAT) as well as imparting some useful information. Advertisement for Acorn Archimedes Elite. The game's price was revealed to be £39.95 and it could be purchased by sending a cheque or postal order to Hybrid Software, the publishers, who were based in Cambridge, UK.

A revolutionary machine, the 32-bit Acorn Archimedes was one of the best computers of the late 80's performance-wise 🙂

This is very cool. Brings back memories of copying out BBC Basic programs to a “borrowed” #acornarchimedes back in the day 👾

This isn't a repair one should consider doing lightly. But sometimes there's no alternative. #retrocomputing #electronics #acornarchimedes #AcornComputers
ARM3 processor, soldered to an A5000 motherboard. A pin half way up the side closest the camera has been repaired by carving out part of the IC package with a diamond grinder and attaching a hair-thin wire.

Remember the very old #AcornArchimedes from the 1990's? I've created a playlist of very old Acorn Archimedes stuff I worked on many many moons ago. There are also links to archived web pages, source code, demos, unseen prototype footage etc.

And also on a #AcornArchimedes, the OS for the thing is still maintained under the form of #RISC_OS. The Archimedes model shown also came out the same year.

The latest album from @lukhash.bsky.social contains bonus files: one Amiga ProTracker MOD file and two C64 SID files. Of course wanted to record from real hardware, here the MOD from my Acorn Archimedes.

A little reorganising to also permanently connect my new Acorn Archimedes A310.

Think this is really maxing out space, so no new computers for this desk 😉

Exciting new addition to my retro collection: an Acorn Archimedes A310. Expanded with a.o. ARM3, 4MB.

The start of the ARM architecture.

Now the puzzle to get color picture on any of my monitors and getting to learn the machine, but it is alive!
