Anyway the single moment of greatest joy I have experienced this summer was when I discovered the Atari 2600 core for the Analogue Pocket will happily open *any* file, such as ROMs for other systems, and attempt to execute it on the assumption it is an Atari 2600 ROM, invariably leading to a 200-ms-to-3-second loop of bizarre blocking pixel noise and glitch sounds
@mavica_again i am also unemployed, but you are half the reason I'm still even doing stuff, creatively, online. I thought I'd never make a website again. It's fun again, now, and I have you to thank for inspiring me to even try, from what was a low point of my life.

At the start of the 1990s, computers were gaining popularity but still relatively expensive. This put schools in a tough spot, who wanted to expose kids to technology β so a couple of Apple engineers came up with a clever alternative. New video!

As a youngster around 1990 I started working on the first Dutch TV show that was completely created using a computer. An Amiga to be specific.
The show was called Mannetje & Mannetje, and featured a low-resolution mix of digitized photographs and drawn elements.
The magenta color was used for keying, using a Genlock device to record the footage to analog storage for broadcasting.
