Hi! Visit spillhistorie.no or play one of my games (https://joachim.itch.io/ and https://sharpworks.itch.io/minesnake-for-the-mz-80a, but I'm working on more!)
Hi!
IDK what to say, but I'm here sometimes. Here's a song:
#cosomusic This has only 8k views? Seriously?
This is an old classic, but I think this version by Ndidi O is perhaps the best. So intense. #cosomusic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCvaXHCEMfc
GOTO is the best command. I know it's got a bad reputation, but look how easily it handles this hog! I love GOTO.
Merry Christmas everyone! Let's travel 40 years back in time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QObx25qiSr4

From my Sharp MZ-80A owner's manual, which is full of these neat illustrations of various BASIC-commands (because of course you were expected to learn programming if you bought a computer).
A couple of years ago, I was lucky enough to get to interview Junko Ozawa, who created music and sound effects for Namco back in the early arcade days (and up to 2005-ish). I think this was the first English-language interview with her.

I uploaded these pictures to Atlas Obscura, they haven't been approved yet but I thought I'd share them here as well. It's the main gun at Kristiansand Kannonmuseum in Norway, built during WW2. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/kristiansand-kanonmuseum
My greatest regret as a (sort of) game developer is that I never managed to finish my Sharp MZ-80A dungeon crawler. It kind of works, but there's too much left to do and too little RAM to do it in. #retrocomputing
Sound on, BTW. :)
Who else thinks BASIC is sexy? This is BASIC SA-5510 on my beautiful Sharp MZ-80A.
Oh, wait. Since I have no followers here, nobody will unfollow me when I do a drunk tweet, which is actually my favourite kind of tweet!
So hey, everyone, this is a really cool song and you should all listen to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98z5l04xBXA
