For today’s #RetroTrio we have the #Sinclair #ZXSpectrum, #Commodore #VIC20 and #Dragon32. Which do you keep, gift and delete from history? #RetroComputing #ComputerHistory #RetroGaming #VideoGames
@SWRetroComp @BinaryDinosaurs @HereBeDragons3 @spectrum48k @Vixtwenty @Retro_Computers @retrokatg @r3trogam3boy @Devilish_Design harder than it should be really. keep: vic 20 gift: the green machine also gift; clive sinclair's 1982 colour clash joke.
@SWRetroComp @BinaryDinosaurs @HereBeDragons3 @spectrum48k @Vixtwenty @Retro_Computers @billysastard1 @retrokatg @r3trogam3boy @Devilish_Design VIC20 only had something like 3k of usable RAM, so that can be binned immediately.
@SWRetroComp @BinaryDinosaurs @HereBeDragons3 @spectrum48k @Vixtwenty @Retro_Computers @billysastard1 @retrokatg @r3trogam3boy @Devilish_Design I shall retain the VIC20 and Dragon 32 (neither of which I have utilized) and bestow the Spectrum (appearing akin to an identical device I possess; 48K) as a gift. I am not engaging in any form of cooperation herein.
@SWRetroComp @BinaryDinosaurs @HereBeDragons3 @spectrum48k @Vixtwenty @Retro_Computers @billysastard1 @retrokatg @r3trogam3boy @Devilish_Design Keeping the Vic20 & The Dragon and bouncing the rubber keyd horror into the bin. 🤣
@SWRetroComp @BinaryDinosaurs @HereBeDragons3 @spectrum48k @Vixtwenty @Retro_Computers @billysastard1 @retrokatg @r3trogam3boy @Devilish_Design Zxspectrum, that was long ago I had to use that!
@SWRetroComp @BinaryDinosaurs @HereBeDragons3 @spectrum48k @Vixtwenty @Retro_Computers @billysastard1 @retrokatg @r3trogam3boy @Devilish_Design Keep the Speccy! That was the first computer I had. #RetroComputing #ComputerHistory #RetroGaming
@SWRetroComp @BinaryDinosaurs @HereBeDragons3 @spectrum48k @Vixtwenty @Retro_Computers @billysastard1 @retrokatg @r3trogam3boy @Devilish_Design I'm keeping the Dragon 32 because I used to have one and wish I still had. I'm also keeping the Spectrum because I never had one and wished I had. Therefore, I'm gifting the Vic 20.
@SWRetroComp @BinaryDinosaurs @HereBeDragons3 @spectrum48k @Vixtwenty @Retro_Computers @billysastard1 @retrokatg @r3trogam3boy @Devilish_Design Difficult one…. I shall keep the Speccy, gift the Vic 20 and regrettably delete the Dragon 32. All great & important machines in computing history imo
@SWRetroComp @BinaryDinosaurs @HereBeDragons3 @spectrum48k @Vixtwenty @Retro_Computers @billysastard1 @retrokatg @r3trogam3boy @Devilish_Design Keep ZX Spectrum, Gift VIC20, Delete Dragon 32.
@SWRetroComp @BinaryDinosaurs @HereBeDragons3 @spectrum48k @Vixtwenty @Retro_Computers @billysastard1 @retrokatg @r3trogam3boy @Devilish_Design Keep the speccy (obviously - it was my first computer!), gift the VIC20 (never owned one but it seems a pretty nifty machine) and goodbye Dragon, I never knew ye…..
