Was haltet ihr eigentlich von dem ZX Spectrum in der White Edition? @THEC64_RGL amzn.to/4rIDvzo

I've finally bit the bullet and Ordered TheSpectrum by @THEC64_RGL the reviews are good, in a week or so it'll be with me, I've not used one in over 40 years, their products are great when they don't shrink stuff to be fair, but apart from that they're top notch.

It started as a quick cash-in on the Mario craze but became a C64 cult classic! Rainbow Arts’ cheeky UK box art taunted, “The brothers are history!” — and Nintendo noticed. After the May 1987 release (C64 original first), they sent a strongly worded complaint detailing the similarities to Super Mario Bros. No full lawsuit, but an out-of-court settlement followed: the game was yanked from stores almost immediately. The UK physical copies are now ultra-rare collector’s items, yet piracy made sure the game survived and thrived! Legendary C64 composer Chris Hülsbeck (who later scored Turrican) created the music for the game; some say it made the game the mega hit it was. It certainly helped! But here is the question we need to answer: Mario Bros vs Giana Sisters, which did you prefer? Share your answer below👇

With our new and official adventures for classic comedy trio #TheGoodies, we've already got Forewords from #DameJoannaLumley, #RobinInce, & #HarryHill. And, just in, Aussie legend and The Last Leg host #AdamHills! Who will be our final two? Answers on a trandem, please...

This week, it's the first two installments of a deep dive into the @THEC64_RGL A500 Mini, which incredibly is FOUR years old in 2026. While it may well be superseded by the upcoming A1200, there remains plenty to learn. Link in reply

Commodore Amiga 1200 on the assembly line. I haven't talked about TheA1200 for a over a month and rewatching this Amiga 1200 Amiga Magic box set working it's way through the ESCOM production line, made me think about @THEC64_RGL TheA1200 announced last year and set for release this June...if you haven't pre-ordered it yet -> linktr.ee/commodore_comp… Here's what we know so far about THEA1200 – the full-size Commodore Amiga 1200 revival by Retro Games Ltd! • Exact 1:1 size recreation with fully working keyboard • High-quality emulation of A1200 (AGA) + OCS & ECS modes • Full Workbench pre-loaded + 25 classic games included • Comes with mouse, gamepad, HDMI & USB support • Official launch: June 16, 2026 • Price: approx $189.99 USD Pre-orders have been open since November and the excitement is building fast! • We are excited about this one!
