First MUD I tried in Jr High was the original DragonMud later DragonMudII the Rom not the Circlemud which I think went down long ago but.. yeah they killed me ALOT there. Had the most fun on Megaheroes Tinymux except for that one player Dirigible Dirk who was rude to everyone.

In high school, we got 4-5 Apple IIe's, soon after my family had bought one for us. Me and a bunch of classmates were spending every free period at the computer lab with the Apple II's, until they discovered we were trading pirated software. My family wouldn't buy me a modem, but other students had access to BBSes (very limited, remember the computer would get charged for every minute of connection to servers or BBSes) and could get cracked software (or utilities to crack copy protection) After a few months, one of the kids told on us, and the school refused unmonitored access to computers ever after. That was a sad day. I had only a handful of games (including text games like Zork) before that, fun memories!

Everything before the 90s was incompatible.

MUD games are such a cool piece of gaming history. So much richer experience than what followed too.

@luzrbum - any chance we could connect? I looked around for an email address (GitHub, Insta, etc..) could not find way to reach out .. other than leaving a comment.

Hey there! Nice content.

Dude THANK YOU for covering this. My childhood was spent going to internet cafes and playing so called GMUD. With dudes chilling there teaching me about everything there is to the game. One of my core memories is me trying to "rizz up" as kids would say a female member of my guild called Se7en (she was like 30 and married to another guild member if i remember correctly, but at the age of like 11 you dont give a fck LMAO), and on another occasion seeing this one bully (and i mean in real life bully, not an in game one) in the cafe go to the toilet, so i jumped onto his seat and.... deleted his account (which he was max level on and prolly took like 2 years to build). As far as i know hr didnt manage to get it back via adnins somehow. And despite him being a huge POS i still feel bad about it LMAO. This was about 20 years ago, as in Poland where im from our PCs were very out of date + internet wasnt available for "household consumption" until like 2008-2010 (unless you had A LOT of money)

Simple question...if you load this on your neo6502...I have one but have not loaded this firmware yet...but how might you get apple II software you downloaded for example on to this?

Is there an Compiler that one could use on the device or send to the device as one is writing something?

Damn, You don’t have to roast a Grandfather calculator this hard, It’s going to be heartbreaking

Wow! I remember playing Moon Patrol on an Apple ][, back in '87 or '88 in the high school computer room at lunch time. This is great!

encore, youre hilarious

Bat-tree

Why do you have candies there?

here at 544 views :D

Oh wow didn't realize this video doesn't have much views. You're very underrated, had me a good laugh lol.

This is the calculator-review that I never knew I needed 10/10

"Division is communism." Ha ha ha. Thank you for making my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

Love your work 🎉

dare: use chat gpt to make a place where there is lots of brainrot called "Mew land" every NPC cant talk and when you try to talk to the NPCs they say "*im mewing*" in lambdaMOO

It looks there are no color artifacts like on a true apple 2 (which seems logical)

Hi, I thought that the gameboy ran a Z80

That's interesting and a lot faster than the 6502s we used in our products. We did finally get some that executed all instructions in one cycle. It used to take up to 5 or 6 cycles for certain instructions, like LDA (indrerect),Y.

don’t sell yourself short. I really loved the video and enjoy the format very much. We need more punchy, upbeat and possibly even loose videos like this in the retro competing community :-)

Pretty much all the Z80's made by Zilog (now owned by LittleFuse) have been rendered "Last Time Buy" with last orders to be placed some time this month, so Argon is soon to evaporate. If you want a Z80 it will be by emulation only, unless someone decides to make some under license.

I don't use a separate hub. I use a keyboard with a build in hub (the one that came with my dual 2.0 GHz G5 Mac).

"Password is Noneofyourbusiness... it's not that" Password is 18 characters long... Noneofyourbusiness is also 18 characters long. Mate just pulled the most unneeded reveal and coverup ever lmao

just found it is a quite buggy - not works with mos 1.04

Cool video, I really like your suggestions to extend the existing examples. Thats what this stuff is about. Get in. :)

Nice 🤩

Cool video. Where can one read/learn about NeoBasic ? Do you know of any tutorial for people familiar with other Basic dialects ?

what version of basic is that?

Wann kommt wieder fortnite?

finally builded. 10x for tutorial

Nice video. Couple of comments The gamepad does work, and should work transparently. There is an API function which reads the gamepad, if there isn't one plugged in it defaults to the keyboard. The sound is currently very basic, square wave beeps, but we do have working code which is currently being integrated which will be an emulation of an AY-3-8910 3 channel PSG (as in many consoles and computers of that era ; I think the last to use it was the Atari ST). It may be extended to have more channels, not sure :) We can do arbitrary sample wave forms, but we don't have enough memory to store them. The machine only has 264k of RAM ; 70k of that goes on the display, 64k on the 6502, and about 32k is used to store graphic assets. I'll fix Frogger :)

Thanks for the great video! Regarding the Breaker game, I remember we used Paddles devices that had a very big knob and a potentiometer inside. Paddles are super cool to play this game. Do you know of any model I can buy and attach to Neo6502 for this purpose? Thanks!

Sounds great, I'll order one when I can. Interestingly, this guy www.youtube.com/@thecodesorcerer is coming at Apple 2 compatibility from the other direction. He's building an single-board (well, currently bread-board) 6502 system, who's origins are the Ben Eater computer, that includes some amount of Apple 2 compatibility in custom circuitry instead of in software. He's re-implemented the memory map, many of the soft switches, video modes. Yes re-implemented _in circuits_ an emulation of Apple 2 high res mode's bizarre memory layout and artifact color outputting to VGA.

2:05 <pedantic>MSX was launched two years after the IBM PC.</pedantic>

Awesome! This video saved me a LOT of time!

I played a ton of Gemstone back in the day. I should check it out again.

🤣Got me. Nice.

Thou not a "complete" 8 bit computer, per se, I think we could still call it an 8 bit Computer, but on steroids, as a true Z80 CPU is the real brain behind it, like in the BBC, Spectrum, MSX or the Amstrad CPC.

2:52 The TI99/4(A) was a (crippled) 16-bit machine. 3:30 The Sharp MZ-80K was my first computer in 1980, I used it as my main computer until 1987 when I bought an Acorn Archimedes. I have two MZ-80K machines now. This machine would actually be a very viable target to emulate on the Agon. 8:48 The Model II was not portable, it was huge. The Model 4P shown above it is the portable.

/me checks calendar, nope not April 1st. (But close enough!) Good game! The fake webpage drew me in until the second image. Well played.

Got me good! 😂🎉

Thank you for covering this topic. Indeed, an unduly unexplored piece of gaming history.

man went from 20 to 880 <3

3:15 "The Agon has landed"

where is the actual eye candy shown in the thumbnail from?

The TI-84 Plus CE has an EZ80 running at 48mhz, so faster cpu than the Agon, but it has no vdp/graphics processor. Assembly games have a good chance of coming over quickly.
