Thanks so much for posting that link. It would be awesome to attend a retro meet over here. Re. Spanish, I took a LOAD of lessons which helped. I can 'get by' and understand the basics but working from home doesn't help me mingle with the locals. Most of the expats out here don't speak a word of Spa...

Since it was written in assembly, I'm guessing this would be an interesting project to start disassembling .. Perhaps not surprisingly, Thomas writes: "I'm afraid I completely lost it.

(Where'd he surface, btw?)

In the YouTube comments for the vid I linked to

One of the two authors of Video Flipper has surfaced - Thomas Schiex - at:


Thought you might want to know Seems he remembers it all fondly.

When you have Decathlon, HyperSports and so on, and compare it to Zoolympics, or Exploding Fist with Karate, well...

You make a very good point

When I also acquired an Atari 8-bit, second-hand from a friend, it was something of a case of déjà vu. Although a small percentage of brand new titles were being released on the Atari 8-bit, for the most part it was ignored - so I was still feeling 'left out'. That said, as mentioned, some main full...

the nostalgia of scanning magazines for anything related to Oric, only to be disappointed at the sheer quantity of stuff the other machines had .. Y'know, I've thought about this quite a lot. When I was really Oric-ing and editing OUM, I was furious at software houses and magazines for neglecting t...

I worked with Professional Adventure Writer System on the speccy in the past, but never used The Quill... are there other alternatives on the Oric? I spoke briefly with someone at Gilsoft a little while after The Quill was released on the Oric, trying to convince them how great it was and that ther...

Believe it or not, I'm still not set up. Didn't bother to chase getting a tape recorder through the post during the main Covid disruptions to post delivery over here, which I think is still a bit iffy. I have made some progress though. I now have a monitor and a work desk for the Atmos. Until a tape...

It's a long vid at 2hr 17min but you can skip to the unexpected Oric coverage around 18 mins, 50 secs. I nearly fell out of bed (which is where I was when watching this) when the Oric popped up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCnR-8IZ0vQ I haven't yet finished watching the vid (as I mentioned, it's...

Even with my moderate español, I doubt it'd be good enough for a text adventure

Stiill, good to see new software being released especially with the production quality. Wonder why they used The Quill though? It's great but it has limitations.

Thanks, all.

I can finally go outside and buy stuff. Hoping to get a nice monitor for my Atmos but I'm doing it via this cable which I know many of us use: https://www.ebay.es/itm/Oric-1-Atmos-High-Quality-RGB-Powered-Scart-Lead-Video-Cable-TV-Lead-/251137727260 Now, it requires SCART connection but the sales du...
