Well colour me impressed. Thats pretty good. I was expecting dktronics lightpen accuracy, but its more on target than any of the arcade cabinets ive played. Top marks all round. #nes

Very random old throwback for #throwbackthursday - back when I got the lightpen for my Vectrex letting me draw a cartoon of myself in the glowing sharp lines of that unique and cool system!

Over the shoulder view of me with the lightpen and some progress on my doodle on the Vectrex screen The finished bright, glowing doodle I made of myself

blew my mind that the lightpen predated the mouse

See also the mouse! 🤣
A whole bunch of tech columnists complaining about how mice are silly and useless in 1983 and 84. The funny thing is that the technology press pretty much hated the idea of the mouse when it launched. A reader recently sent us an article that had the following quotes from then-thought leaders: “There is no evidence that people want to use these things.” John Dvorak, San Francisco Examiner, February 1984 “There is no possibility that this device will feel more comfortable to the executive than the keyboard. Because of its ‘rollability’, the mouse has the aura of a gimmick.” Computerworld, October 1983 “Mice are nice ideas, but of dubious value for business users.” George Vinall, PC Week, April 1984

Love this 1986 article on the ZX Spectrum Doodler Lightpen. Digital automotive art won’t catch on.

Guten Morgen liebes Bluesky 🤗☕. Hier die Highlights der C64 Sammlung die ich gestern gekauft habe. Besonders cool ist die Action Replay Cartridge V5 und der Joystick. Die anderen beiden Teile sind übrigens ein Lightpen und ein Disketten Locher. #Retro #Commodore #Retrocomputing

the whole reason I'm poly is so that I can get my four girlfriends to come over and we can all use a lightpen at the same time on one overstimulated computer

The LightPen for the Vectrex.

This light pen is a controller for the Vectrex that allowed you to draw vector-based picture on your Vectrex. It's the Apple Pencil, 35 years before its time 😄

Finally got round to getting Roton, I put him through a few filters and added some lightpen effects to give him some oomph
