[1981] BBC Microcomputer System — Acorn’s Computer Literacy Project Microcomputer
forgottenarchai: [1981] BBC Microcomputer System — Acorn’s Computer Literacy Project Microcomputer 💾 Forgotten TechnologyALT The BBC Microcomputer System, usually called the BBC Micro, was designed to work alongside television programmes and learning materials. For many UK learners, it became a machine encountered in schools as well as at home. The BBC commissioned and specified the system for its Computer Literacy Project, while Acorn designed and manufactured it. The original 1981 line comprised the Model A and Model B. It was an 8-bit machine based on the 6502 processor family. BBC BASIC, colour graphics, sound, cassette storage and video, serial, analogue and Econet connections made it a flexible system for educational, productivity and games software. The wider project combined broadcasts with books, software, helplines, local courses and tutors. That broader approach helps explain why the BBC Micro became so closely associated with classroom computing. Examples remain in institutional collections, while specialist archives continue to preserve software and games for the system.ALTALTALTALT

It's crazy how the idea of weapon levels started in Xanadu then permeated through the realm of Japanese microcomputer JRPGs into FromSoft's DNA and now we have them in Queen's Domain. You crazy for this one Yoshio Kiya

Peter Jennings wrote Microchess for the KIM-1 in 1976, one of the earliest commercially sold microcomputer games. The original fitted in about 1K and reported moves on six LED digits. Chess without a screen. What would you have built with that memory?

No I wouldn't buy it.
Yeah I guess I do weigh code and other assets equally. Especially if it's a homebrew game for an old console or microcomputer, because its an opportunity for a clever programmer to show off.

Rayman's got a kind of british microcomputer gameyness too, in that levels often have a theme 'i.e. kitchen' which is expressed just by having a bunch of kitchen objects floating in the air, haha

<- bringing up an emulated IBM mainframe is very difficult if you only know microcomputer-era software (post ~1977 stuff). This is a great guide.

There's definitely a school of belief that thinks only the ascended PAL regions knew of the microcomputer before Wolf3D/Doom.
