It is 2026. A kid coded this superbasic program for hours for father's day, on a Wildbits/K2 (6502/816 based wedge computers) The father is the owner of the #Wildbits line. It's think it's fair to call this wholesome!

Huur kan man bli så här knäckt av en superbasic förkylning, har inga krafter kvar? Vaknade inatt av att jag trodde nåt stackars barn gnällde sen var det jag själv

Finally caught the moment a single (very niche) sale propelled my forty-year-old book to No 1 !!

80s micros were so fleeting, yet made such an impact.

The QL’s OS actually had multitasking; you could run multiple jobs while SuperBASIC handled the foreground. For a 1984 home-business machine, that was unusually advanced.

Wow, a #F256Jr2 user made his sbc F256Jr2 into a luggable cyberdeck. The Jr2 is the cheaper version of the #F256K2. Here it is, running some software written for it: a tarot game, and a port of the Trek game in superbasic.

Thanks to @frightya.bsky.social ❤️ I made a superbasic #Poseidon72 feed for you @bmoviemaniacs.bsky.social -- it picks up (hopefully)

Hahaha. What it is to have written a niche book! Over ten years old and every sale propels it into best-seller territory.

The Sinclair QL shipped before it was finished - so engineers stacked ROM chips on top of each other, soldering pin-to-pin with flying wires, to fit the missing SuperBASIC code. Beautifully chaotic. https://www.1000bit.it/storia/sinclair/sinc2.asp

The CST Thor has entered the chat. Does the screen look familiar?
The Cambridge Systems Technology Thor 8, based on surplus Sinclair QL boards once Sinclair had disappeared. CST expanded the platform massively, but it could still run SuperBASIC and Xchange from Psion. Here we see a Thor in its bombproof thick steel case with an IBM keyboard sat on top of it.

AI sucks for this. You cannot learn a language like this. Duolingo already had weird, nonsensical sentences. The AI-ones will be SO MUCH WORSE. It won’t even succeed in offering any kind of superbasic knowledge because it WILL confidently tell beginners things like that tables are for sleeping on.

Ernesto, the superbasic master, is at it again with this now completed gamejam entry for the #Foenix systems. A ps/2 mouse-driven remake of that game we saw on every platform in the late 80's - early 90's: Shanghai. Once again proving you don't NEED 6502 assembly to get something DONE.

Finally had time to play a game of Star Trek on the #F256K by the industrious Ernesto, who's a maestro at making fully completed superbasic programs. He even put out a manual for it!
