  • My first computer was a ZX81, but I think it was a custom build between my father, a carpenter, and my uncle, an electrician who fixed arcade games.

    It was housed in a wooden case with a proper keyboard. The 16K RAM pack had been soldered on inside, so there was no case of it ever crashing due to a bad connection.

    Simple black and white graphics with no sound. I loved it to bits.





  • Is it just me, or has Heroic Launcher broken some games with this update? Rebel Galaxy launches with a window to change graphics options. OK that and then the game starts.

    After the HL update, I close the graphics options window and then the game launches in a black screen but all the sounds are going? This is on SteamDeck by the way. All my other games still play fine.



  • Thank you for these posts, a friend shared a link and I’ve spent this Sunday morning browsing over the past few weeks of information. I really like the writing style, it’s enjoyable to read.

    I’ve just ordered a SteamDeck myself and have more free games on Epic and GOG than my steam library (2 titles!). So it will take me a while to get up to speed onto how to get access to those libraries and get started in emulation.
