Current Retro Computing Happenings?
« on: March 20, 2014, 02:29:12 PM »
Of late my passion for retro computing has re-ignited. C64 and Tandy Coco are where my passion (nostalgia?) lay, but most older systems are of some interest to me.
Despite some of these machines having support and software releases still, news of which sometimes filters through to sites I frequent, Ive not had much luck finding sites dedicated to such systems.

So, that said, this thread poses 2 main questions:

1). Who else still follows retro computing (not just for replaying an old favorite occassionally), and wha's your format(s) of choice?
2). Does anyone have some good sites for current happenings in the retro computing world (either dedicated to a specific system, or multiformat?

Near as I can tell (or find) there's not much out there along the lines of what Im looking for, and stuff like lemon64 or worldofspectrum (ie. aimed at people more interested in nostalgia than current developments) is the norm.
Given the volume of stuff still developed across these older machines it seems a niche worthy of being filled.
Any feedback is appreciated. For now though Im going back to my 6809/coco3 pdf scans :)

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.
