One more video for #MARCHintosh while there's still some month left. I got these (via a friend) from a professor who had been keeping his Macintosh LC III with its original boxes which had even done some overseas travel with him.

Time to look inside, recap, clean, and play.

Reviving a sad Macintosh Plus for #MARCHintosh and its 40th. Playing games, exploring drives, letting it moonlight as a big Maclock, and hopping online with a BlueSCSI.

Looking through a box of Game & Watch handheld consoles from the '80s. Game Boy Pockets, Neo Geo games and other fun retro gaming pickups. A hint at future fix-up projects...

First trip to the Nyx system and a tour of the new Levski. Our team wrapped it up with some space combat before going on foot for a taste of the Vanduul Tech mission. #starcitizen

Merry Christmas 🎄🌟

For a bit of holiday fun, I’ve put together a video where I try out Christmas‑themed DOS games, mixed with footage of light displays from around my city in Australia.

Making one nice looking and working Sharp X68000 Expert out of two. Setting up the SxSI boot loader and memory configs. Using a Centronics external BlueSCSI. All in a bit of a scuffed/trash to treasure for this Japanese computer.

Trying out a new SD card & USB storage device on my Apple IIe and IIgs. XDrive, designed by JD Micro, which I bought from MacEffects. Loading software, upgrading the firmware, and fixing a problem which prevented me from using one of my SD cards.

While in Melbourne, we visited the National Communications Museum in Hawthorne. Interactive displays, set up in an old (retired) working exchange building. Our communications history from an Australian perspective. Good fun, with a few surprises here and there.

Star Wars Dark Forces is 30 years old! I look back at the original game on PC and Macintosh, which contains elements uncommon then in FPS games. Then check out two recent remasters.

Took a while to get replacement parts and eventually get around to doing this... Fixing the memory fault on my Apple IIc that first appeared on the channel nearly 5 years ago. Tried a few different methods to make sure I fix the correct part, and can play some games.

Nothing like a Saturday night hanging out with a mate, having a beer and installing drivers for a non-PnP sound card in Windows 98. Wish us luck 🤞 #retrocomputing
