Lynx #BASIC from the #CamputersLynx ... q quite exotic british #HomeComputer from 1983. It not only allows line numbers in real format but also any kind of space separation in command and function names. I love that machine!

#MaxHeadroom spoke for the #Enterprise128 #HomeComputer TV ad in 1985. The clip was created by #Aardman animations:
Right now I am writing a short #HomeComputer #BASIC dialect history. Today I arrived in Great Britain's BASIC systems. Looking through different benchmarks I found the one from David Ahl (printed in "Creative Computing" 1983/84) and tested on dozends of mini computers, super computers, mainframes and home computers ... but not on the #AmstradCPC. So, here you are: The CPC with Locomotive BASIC 1.1 on a Europien CPC (50Hz) is one of the best (only topped by the #BBCMicro):
Nun steht es fest: am 20.06. werde ich wieder eine, wenn auch kleine, aber feine Computer Ausstellung in #clausthalzellerfeld organisieren! Es geht dabei um das Thema #Zuse bis #highperformancecomputing - und natürlich auch um #homecomputer . Mehr kommt die Tage auf meiner Homepage Harzretro.de
An interview with Rolf-Dieter Klein and his #1980s TV show about how to build your own #HomeComputer
Today I received a fully functional #NEC PC 6001 (1981) #8Bit #HomeComputer from Japan, including several manuals and a German greeting card.
Netzfund. Dieses #Internetz Gedöns wird sich niemals durchsetzen! Und diese #Homecomputer erst: Völlig überbewertet!
Another pre-print from me: "»I Program my Home Computer«. Discourse and Computer Archaeological Localizations of a Technology" - where I try to define "home computer" as a term, a technology, and a media historic event:
LESETIPP: Stolz packte der Sohnemann seinen C64 am Weihnachtsabend aus. Nachdem alles angeschlossen war, blickten traurige Kinderaugen auf einen leeren Bildschirm.

The #Atari 1200XL was a 8bit #homecomputer running a #MOS 6502 #CPU at 1.79 MHz. When this beautiful machine was launched in 1983 with 64Kb RAM the price was under thousand dollars, but... https://youtu.be/JyA5tA5mmYY
$omehow, in the #8bitwar the #C64 was much more popular even when specs been almost the same. The difference in #BASIC language was less significant for the success. Most likely that competition was won by #Commodore because Jack Tramiel took the advice of his grandfather so serious.

The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.

@loke @quazarsamcoupe yeah, it’s just a frustrating limitation on a machine which was so advanced in every other way. As home computers go, nothing really matched it.
Actually, I wonder if it would be fair to say the #Atari #Falcon was the most powerful #homeComputer to have ever existed (before that whole category was made obsolete by PCs)?
Assembling #DigDug from the #SourceCode for the #Atari #8Bit #HomeComputer:
I want “home computer” to come back into parlance.
Who’s with me? #HomeComputer
Torsten Roeder (@toroe) and I will give a talk about #hacking economic #simulation #games for the #C64 in the "Oldenburger Computermuseum" on 22.03.25.
After our talk there will be a gaming sessions with the games we spoke about on the original #HomeComputer platforms of the #OCM.

A completely normal Saturday night, isn't it?
