Oh, we have a few other games and things in mind that demonstrate the machine nicely .. SPACE 1999 has a great intro, Defence Force, etc.

But I would like to have a workshop on different demos at some point so I will revisit this ..

Hi Folks, I'm happy to report that the Retrogaming Museum[1] here in Vienna now has a working 8-bit workshop, which includes our favourite Oric Atmos (as well as a ZX Spectrum, CPC6128, Atari ST's, C64, etc.) set up and operational and ready for some fun. first_8bit_row.png I'd like to ask all of yo...

Wow! This is exciting!

Excellent debug workflow, thanks for sharing that!

Ooooh! Please give me some advance warning - we will prepare a nice event for you at the museum!

Yes, we have all the storage systems available for Oric these days ..

I'll have more to say about this as the weeks go by, as I'm now a curator of the 8-bit systems of the musem, but just wanted to let you guys know that as of a few days, we now have a working Oric Atmos system on display, available for folks to come and use. The Atmos is really putting a shine on the...

Its really beautiful and I can't wait to play it on a real system (*).


(* BTW, I have added an Oric Atmos to the Retrogaming museum here in Vienna, it can be played/presented on there too if you like... at the moment the museum gets thousands of visitors a week ..)

I always imagine an Atmos with a snap-on adapter that covers the ports completely, and makes it portable. It could therefore be the case that a real Atmos would be the front-end of, say, an Exos-like configuration of Atmos (Next-Generation) cores running on something modern, also enclosed in the sna...

>I also have plan to run Lua on Oric one day...


!!! How''s this gonna work? Surely we don't have enough RAM ..

I dunno why BASIC is more interesting than C for this .. seems to me that it SCC would be great to add to the tooling ..

>Microsoft BASIC

C compiler for CP/M - there are lots of them:

dec(hex(0xb500 − 0x400) + hex(0xffff − 0xc000)) / 1024
= 60,24K!!!

SIGN ME UP! RIGHT NOW!!!

Seriously, great work!

This is an awesome project - an editor and an assembler in the same image? Bonkers! Definitely going to be putting this through some paces ..

The graphics are really beautiful and reminiscent of early Hypercard stacks, which imho lifts the Orics' stature somewhat. Imagine if Tangerine had done something Macintosh'y, eh? You kind of hint at this future with your art style ..
