Bring your museum 4.7Mhz XT machine up to the performance of an AT 286 machine. In those days, productivity gains were measured in times, not the measly percentage units that currently are common practice in the marketing world today. Adrian has done a very interesting review of such a rare accelerator. Thanks fly out to him, enjoy! Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

I already marked stand-from-the-crowd [Neo Geo console] of the early 90s. Now it is time to mention a Japanese computer that is definitely made with love and effort, just look at it’s design!

[HighTreason] is not that active these days, so i have to find a solid substitute for my retro hardware cravings. And, oh boy, that was not an easy task to complete, i can barely find a solid reviewer among hundreds of sellouts, boring and just plain ignorant vloggers. But in the end of the day i found him! Yeah, it is [RetroSpector78] from Belgium. His speciality is producing reviews of obscure and rare pieces of computer hardware [primarily from 80s-90s era] with episodic dives into the software field.

Is it Friday or not, for God’s sake? Here are some retro-O-matic tracks right in your years. For some reason, unlisted or private videos can’t be viewed on the mobile version of the site, although the desktop template works fine. I am investigating the matter.

The [Acorn computer] is probably one of the most underrated in computer history. All mobile device manufacturers should give a credit to the developers of Acorn’s first RISC computer. They developed the first System-on-Chip CPU. Without the efforts of Acorn engineers you would probably be running an overheated, crashing quad-core CISC CPU from Intel in your mobile device in 2024.

Despite the fact that i’m not a MIDI person, i find this video loaded with interesting technical and historical facts about the era. So, take a look if you have spare time! Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

I am glad that in this historical video there is no mention of such things as windows 10/11, as they surely did not bring anything new to the world of ergonomics, but rather on the contrary worsened it by a substantinal margin. Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

Most of you are probably thinking why there are no posts for such a long time. I was quite overloaded with real life events.

UPDATED ON: 2024-06-25 Forget about last two [or so] seasons, because they are complete boredom! As for me, i think that [YOUNG SHELDON] is a worthy prequel to [Big Bang TV-series] . Great warm analog atmosphere of 80s.Watched it excitedly in one gulp. A bit too pop, with rare deterioration in scenario quality but very solid in terms of actor performance and overall design. If you have bad mood for some reason this thing will fix you up at no time.

As you may already know golden age of personal computing happened somewhere around 80s and 90s. Time when new computer model was released almost every week or so.

As you may already know i like: [Black humour] [Zombie comedy slashers] [Beavis & Butt-head ] cartoon Finnish movies [about plain people] Quite strange concoction? But who really cares? Here is a list of more random films, which are worth to watch. From my point of view of course. [Home Alone 1] / [Home Alone 2: Lost In New York] [Terminator 1] / [Terminator 2] [Evil Dead 1] / [Evil Dead 2] / [Evil Dead 3: Army Of Darkness] [Tucker & Dale vs Evil] / [Wild Tales] [Chronos] / [Baraka] / [Samsara] [Office Space] / [Human Traffic] / [It Crowd] / [Idiocracy] [Johnny Mnemonic] / [Nirvana] / [Hackers] / [Speed] [Falling Down] / [Taxi Blues] / [Taxi Driver] [The Shawshank Redemption] Films that i like to watch in not so distant future:

Despite the widespread opinion regarding [Seagal’s] sanity and his tendency to star in a very low budget trash movies i like couple of his flicks. [Hard To Kill] ► one of his fist appearances on the screen, a little bit excessively touching, but pretty neat [Under Siege 1] ► simply the best movie to date [Under Siege 2: Dark Territory] ► not so good as first part, but definitely worth to watch HARD TO KILL UNDER SIEGE 1 UNDER SIEGE 2: DARK TERRITORY SPECIAL CATEGORY:

Need a really gooood detective movie? Here is one: [Zodiac] . No weak acting. No dumb computer visuals. Very long, detailed, quite linear, but solid. Film is watched without any interruptions in one single breath. OFFICIAL TRAILER Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

I was completely floored by quality of movie atmosphere and yeah, this is true [retro-future-cyberpunk show] of the 80s, without any strained interpretations. Pumping soundtrack, marvelous neon illumination with dramatic light beams, excellent design rise quality of the picture to the point where we can safely say “this is classic!”. Glorious CRT monitors, bulky industrial keyboards, cool computer graphics made on fancy new [Amiga] computers. FILM WAS AVAILABLE IN SUPERB 30 FPS [EAT THIS!

UPDATED ON: 2023-03-16 If you like pixel art quests and [cyberpunk] atmosphere here is a good suggestion: [Technobabylon] . Game is published by Wadjet Eye Games previously known for brilliant [Gemini Rue] . In brief: detailed dialogue lines, immersive atmosphere, cool design aesthetics. Music composer is Nathan Allen Pinard, who is also known for immersive soundtrack for Gemini Rue. So you won’t be disappointed in terms of musical vibes. I think that 50% of game’s atmospere comes from music.

[Solaris] is the best soviet Sci-Fi movie produced by [Andei Tarkovsky] . It often counts as direct answer to beautiful and timeless [2001: A Space Odyssey] by [Stanley Kubrick] . Although Solaris had far less budget it surely provides plenty of food to the grey matter. Moreover, movie goes even deeper in philosophical aspects than Space Odyssey. So, the film is for those of you who like to think things over.
