@brockgs Unfortunately, $75 for a 5.25 (1.2MB) drive is about average these days. You can find tested ones as low as $50 on ebay, but since they're out of production the prices have gone up. I just built a kryoflux station and paid about $50. In any case, good luck in your search!

A quick demo of Cloudburst Connection development so far. Nothing like that sweet melody of a dial-up modem connecting at 2400 BPS! Here's a small taste of connecting to an in-game BBS, playing some Blackjack, and then using text paint. #IndieGameDev #madewithunity #retrogaming

@Joshuaureus Awesome, glad you got to use your program! Are you getting to code often at the Broad institute?

@davidmt Loved this game and played it a ton on my C64. Didn't realize until later it was published by Sierra!

BC's Quest for Tires 🦖 Thor, star of the comic strip B.C., must save his girlfriend from a dinosaur with nothing but his trusty prehistoric unicycle and quick reflexes in this challenging early side-scroller on the #Commodore64. I bet a lot of you #C64 owners had this one!

Does anyone have any rough statistics on how many university #HPC environments have at least one centrally managed #Anaconda installation? @anacondainc

@davidmt Played a bit of this over lunch today - the new "modern" mode with scrolling and new artwork is a really cool addition. For only a few bucks it's definitely worth it!

This is the 80's classic "Montezuma's Revenge!" rebooted by the original developer for Windows10. Includes both "retro" and "modern" graphics-and its not emulated. It's cheap, so why not support the developer if you pirated the game back in the day 🏴‍☠️ store.steampowered.com/app/1421120/Mo…

@eobet @davidmt @C64Retweets Oh wow, thanks for the heads up, I just bought it on Steam! I also originally pirated this back in the day before I knew better (copied a floppy with a mix of games on it from a friend). Nice that he added Steam achievements to it too!

In Montezuma's Revenge, players control Panama Joe in this cool 1984 exploration platformer. The game came out for many systems, but the #C64 version is my favorite. Rolling skulls, dancing spiders 🕷️, disappearing chains ⛓️ and tons of fire 🔥await you! @C64Retweets

In the post Tramiel-era, Commodore released a series of IBM compatible machines. I worked at a Commodore shop part time during my college years, and I honestly can't recall selling a single one. At the time, it was branded as the "COLT". #Commodore #RetroComputing

Finally added an #FTDI #UART to my #FPGA designs for debugging. I feel really dumb for waiting years to do it, it took no time to do and now I can send to the PC at 1Mbps. Way easier than signaltap or 7seg. Anyone have any debugging methods they like? (Photo: MIDI data)

@davidmt One of my favs, I played this all the time in the arcades growing up and on my mame cabinet now. I've always loved the beautiful isometric graphics.

"Crystal Castles" was a trackball-controlled arcade game released by #Atari in 1983. The player controls Bentley Bear who has to collect gems located throughout trimetric-projected rendered castles while avoiding enemies, some of whom are after the gems as well. #RetroGaming
