Here's an old heap I bet you don't remember. The Dai Personal Computer. Made in Brussels, featuring a DAI BASIC OS running on an Intel 8080A @ 2 MHz with 48k. Not bad for 1980, but that price is the equivalent of £2,558 today.

In 1986, Konami debuted its refreshed logo — featured in Double Dribble, released that November. Players could name their own team and battle rivals in this fast-paced basketball showdown. #MiSTerFPGA #arcade

35 years ago, the official launch of the Mega Drive was nigh, and this was Sega's first ad for the soon-to-be-released system. It was certainly a fantastic machine at a great price, and had an excellent launch line-up. No wonder it sold gangbusters during Xmas 1990!

40 years ago, this headline info leaked from Amstrad. The machine was released as the PPC512 in 1987 and weighed a svelte 12 lbs.🤣 Meanwhile the Amiga rolled out in the US, Sinclair played more managerial musical chairs, and an Olivetti cash injection helped Acorn stay afloat.

Today is the 40th birthday of the Commodore Amiga! This landmark system evolved pixel graphics a quantum leap overnight. These four pics are my most enduring memories of this remarkable 16-bit computer. Do you have any favorite games or memories about this amazing machine?

Lol. Rubbish old telly from the 90s featuring a not very difficult video game challenge. I assume the producers thought computer games still went beep, beep, beep and all sounded the same. Either way, a fest of hilarious fashions (and indeed hair cuts).🤣 youtube.com/watch?v=jVGVbk…

35 years ago, I'd just seen Amstrad's new technically impressive GX4000 console. However, we were promised a stellar lineup of new titles, which unfortunately failed to materialize by Xmas. End result, it was absolutely crushed by Sega and Nintendo and sold less than 15k units!

40 years ago, this was Ultimate's lineup, which I feel was when the company was at its pinnacle. An absolutely terrific lineup of classics here, all featuring phenomenal art.
