This fairly obscure British home computer launched in the summer of 1984 for an astonishing ยฃ499! A lovely computer that never really made a dent in the british market and ended up being the system that other 8-bit games were developed on! ----------------------------------------- Upgrades in this episode: ----------------------------------------- ๐Ÿ’ฅ A custom mount, kindly produced for us by our channel sponsors PCBWay! They've produced this 3D print using a tough yet slightly flexible resin called Somosยฎ Taurus. The detail is superb, and any dust picked up by the camera is mine! You can find PCBWay's CNC and 3D Printing offerings here: https://www.pcbway.com/rapid-prototyp... and I thank them and the wonderful Elaine Hu for their help and attention! ๐Ÿ’ฅ For Video output we are using an RGB SCART custom cable from the amazing Retro Computer Shack.
