Polishing off the second revision of the #Amstrad #CPC464 #MechanicalKeyboard
* Key bed repositioned by a few fractions of a millimetre.
* Diode footprint tweaked for easier hand soldering.
* Moved a couple of diodes which were uncomfortably close the connectors.
* Patched up all the traces affected by the above.
I still have a couple of minor items on the todo list but this is very close to being ready for the fab.
Noch ein ganz altes Fundstück: #StarWriter 1 für den #CPC. Quasi der Vorgänger von #StarOffice / #OpenOffice / #LibreOffice. Und natürlich auf 3 Zoll Diskette (wir machen keine halben Sachen 
). #Schneider #Amstrad #Retro #StarDivision

Jeu d'aventure textuel illustré comme dans le temps sur #Amstrad mais modernisé, #gratuit, cherche joueuses et joueurs susceptibles de l'apprécier en dehors des cercles initiés.
Les augures prédisent un échec de buzz. Déjouons-les ?

The CPC 6128 was my first computer!
I've always been a fan of z80-based releases of Gauntlet. However, both the original collection of mazes and those in the "Deeper Dungeons" add-on were a bit limited (most dungeons were duplicate of others).
Now I've created a tool that allows adding your own mazes and creating a new collection that can be loaded from the original game.

Video review time, as I get into Head Over Heels Deluxe, a game I absolutely adored back in (gulp) 1987. But does the Deluxe remake do it justice, and is it still worth playing today?

ZOMG!! Found the 2 unused Amstrad 40056 ULAs for the Speccy 128 Toastrack! I think I’ll throw one of these in the Just Speccy 128K clone and (hopefully) update the eBay listing as tested/working (it’s missing the ULA at the moment). #golddust #rare #spectrum128 #amstrad #ula #40056 #retrocomputing
