ROBOCOP for arcade (Data East/1988), classic run-and-gun platformer based on the 1987 movie. It was very popular, leading to various home versions loosely based on it, for computers such as the ZX Spectrum and C64. Made by Ocean Software, the computer versions were major hits, specially in the UK.

Did you know that many C64 and ZX Spectrum games were developed on a Tatung Einstein computer? The Tatung was used to edit/assemble and deploy the code to the target machine via a serial/parallel link. Here's the editor in action loading Bubble Bobble source code for the Spectrum

COMBAT SCHOOL (Konami 1987) Also known as BOOT CAMP, it plays like earlier Decathlon or Hyper Sports games but it's about doing basic training for the USMC. Great and varied, it was ported to C64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and MS-DOS PC. #コンバットスクール #arcade #2D #pixelart

5 facts you didn't know about Kung-Fu Master, the classic 1985 Commodore 64 game from Data East (Developed by Berkeley Softworks): 1) On level 1, you could hold down the Shift Key and G for a gun, as seen in the video. This only worked on level 1. 2) An add-on to the gun cheat: press Shift and G and stand still for 1 second to show "By Chris Hawley" and then reset to the start. 3) Chris Hawley never made another game. 4) The USA Floppy disk was a Flippy Disk. On one side was the Commodore 64 version and on the other (flip it over) had the Apple II version. 5) The game is loosely inspired by the Jackie Chan movie Wheels on Meals. Have you watched it, and do you see the similarity? Bonus fact: You may recognize the developer, Berkeley Softworks, from GEOS. This game and Karate Champ were the only two games they made before creating the very successful GEOS for the C64.

Atomic Runner for the the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis (Data East/1992). Highly challenging action-platformer ported from Data East's 1988 arcade game, Chelnov. Considered superior to the original and a cult classic, standing out for its unique forced-scrolling gameplay, upgraded pixel art and memorable music. Also released on the X68000 and Wii Virtual Console (Japan).

This is the dance scene from "Fighter", India's version of "Top Gun", made in 2024 and based (very loosely) on a real battle between India and Pakistan in 2019. I just feel like India is going to make it.

Jensen Huang at GTC: "I expect data center build out to reach a trillion dollars, and I am fairly certain we're going to reach that very soon." "General purpose computing has run its course, and that we need a new computing approach." "In the past we wrote the software and we ran it on computers. In the future, the computer is going to generate the tokens for the software." "The computer has become a generator of tokens, not a retrieval of files."

Metallica’s video for ‘One’ was such a game changer as far as metal music video maturity & for Metallica itself, being their first music vid. Incorporating scenes from the movie ‘Johnny Got His Gun’, the lyrics are based on the book of the same name, it hits hard. Full & unedited

The Bendix Central Air Data Computer is a gear-based analog computer used in 1950s fighter planes. It computed "air data" such as airspeed, Mach number, and temperature. We finally got it operational, hooked it up to some instruments, and got turning gears and spinning dials.

Happy birthday, Bubble Bobble! It was released exactly 40 years ago today, on June 16, 1986. The arcade version was absolutely brilliant, being one of the first games to have a coop-multiplayer option. It was also one of the the most ported arcade games in history, with over 20 ports to home computers and consoles, including even the legendary TI-84 Plus (primarily a calculator). The port that got the highest praise and came closest to the original arcade experience was the C64 version. Excellent graphics, one of the most recognizable tunes , and great gameplay make Bubble Bobble a timeless classic. My brother and I played the crap out of this one back in the day, and we still load it up on my old C64 when he comes for a visit. It's like riding a bike, you never forget how to play Bubble Bobble.

I think everyone's playing FIFA these days (just a guess), but the best football game ever was Sensible World of Soccer (1994). Best controls, best top-down view graphics, best sound effects. The "thump" when the ball gets kicked could not have been any better. If you think about it, Sensible Software really gave us some epic games: Wizball, MicroProse Soccer (C64 and ZX Spectrum versions), Mega-Lo-Mania, Cannon Fodder... and of course this timeless classic.
