So yeah soon the interest in the spectravideo was lost, i kept playing super nintendo and gameboy games. Until at some point my parents were lets get this nerd a computer and my first one was a pentium 100, windows 95. And oh boy did i spend a lot of time learning just about everything on that.

So my first experience with coding is when we swapped my mom swapped the old atari2600 that i wasnt using because i had a snes by then, for a spectravideo. I think this one. It came with a bad chopper game on tape. It was shit.

The VIC-20 was my second computer (briefly) after the Spectravideo 318. Have to say I didn't like it much as an impatient 10ish year old, but it was unexpanded from what I remember, and also, boy those games look to be pushing the VIC hard!
🕹️ Nice evening of #VIC20 #retrocomputing playing AJ Layden’s new Super VIC TT and Raspberrypioneer’s excellent port of Boulderdash. #HappyPlace

Danish #MSX users! Did you know that the Danish Spectravideo SVI-728 crashes when printing to a non-MSX printer? 😅
The keyboard driver is overlayed on an old version of the international ROM, which uses JP instead of JR in the printing routine. This causes the jump address to be cut off! 😱

Not quite a #retrorandom, as I always post this picture at Christmas ... it's my Spectravideo CompuMate running its Christmas demo (built in!). The Compumate is cute, and makes the Atari into an almost unusably bad computer. But wait, the demo gets better ...

One company (Spectravideo, AKA QuickShot, AKA Bondwell) released all of these controllers for the NES. Wild. From the top left, clockwise: QS-121, QS-112, QS-129N, QS-126. My favorite has to be QS-121 based on the number of incorrect assumptions it raises on first glance

It has been a while, but after recovering from surgery a couple of months ago, I have returned to my retro development activities for Colecovision, MSX, Spectravideo, and Sega SG-1000 machines.

Let's get #FujiNet onto Spectravideo! FujiNet (FujiNet.online) is a WiFi adapter for a growing number of systems. There is a bring up happening for #MSX, which could bootstrap an effort for #SVI. If you can help, go to our Discord, link on website :)

니시씨가 하는 것을 보면 과거 일본 게임계에서 종종 보였던 "스타PD"시스템을 느낄 수 있는데, MSX의 표준과 그 기술적 이해도가 현저히 떨어지는 지금의 니시씨가 말하는 것으로 판단했을 때 - 그의 MSX 업적을 부정한다거나 날로 먹었다고 생각하는 것은 아니지만 - 아마도 당시 MSX를 띄우는데 "스타PD"시스템의 일환으로 좀 더 부각됐던 것은 아닐까하는 생각이.
그럼 그때 Spectravideo를 포크떠서 MSX의 표준을 만들었던 엔지니어 집단은 과연 누구일지 궁금.

For a machine called the "Spectravideo," how come it's a grey and white box with only a tiny splash of red?
