It's truly inspiring to see all of these machines in one place, it has to be said. Is there anything that particularly catched your eye? Have a shout in the comments, and thanks for watching. :)
Fantastic, my first visit and I was hoping there would be a video of the event, very well done.
My modest display in the corner didnt make the cut though, never mind! (to Tim G's right)
(Cosmac Elf, Karen Orton NIBL, Aitken SC/MP, Southern Cross Z80, etc)
@@PHILG2864 Agh! I'm so sorry yours didn't make it, Phil. Missed out on getting any footage of it.
@@Kim_Justice No worries Kim, I wasnt an official exhibitor but took a few bits & bobs, I'd gone mainly to assist Tim :-)
@kim justice. The problem with game developers and programmers these day is they are spoilt with RAW POWER so they tend not to invent new ways to programme straight to the metal create new visual effects. I remember seeing Brian the lion on the Amiga where they said it couldn't be done and BOOM mode 7 like effects on the Amiga. No second prize imagine if they could have adapted that engine for Robocop 3 how smooth it would be. I just wish people would try to do the impossible maybe set themselves a limit for the speed of their console or pc an practice squeezing the most out of those specs. That way when they have RAW POWER they will be more poised to squeezing and pushing the boundaries.
@@PHILG2864 I have an (the?) RCA MS2000. I'm planning on bringing it to RCF next year. I'd be taking the train, so can't bring tons of stuff, but i'd happily share a desk with you if you have the space :)
Thank you for the feature, very happy you liked the Paintbox!🥰 Quantel has so many amazing machines to show, there's more to come!😉
I rmeember this being highlighted on a BBC TV show which invited David Hockney to use it.
I'm about 1-2 decades too young for most of these machines, but it's always lovely to see the "do it yourself" world of early computing. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
That space shuttle image printed with the plotter was used for demonstration at a technology exhibition too at our university when I was a kid more than 30 years ago. That was the time when my dad switched from drawing technical drawings by hand to drawing on computer (CAD).
10:06 on the left you can just see space invaders running on a Microtan 65.
I have a replica of this and it was made by Tangerine computers who went on to make the Oric 1.
There was a whole article in an electronics magazine (electronics today international if I remember correctly) that covered the building of it plus a sound addon.
Great video and thanks for the shout out to my Breadboard Computer (BBC)! It was a really fun and interesting weekend with a great bunch of passionate and knowledgeable folks👍🏽
Lovely stuff. Not my words, the words of Shakin Stevens & Kim Justice! Looks great, hope to visit soon 👍
My first introduction to computing was the teletype at my school which connected via an acoustic modem to the mainframe at Norwich City College. After school I joined the IT department at Norwich Union in 1979 where I worked on ICL and IBM mainframes. My first personal computer was a Nascom 2.
Those be my Falcon, Memotech and QL. 🙂
Nice to see them appreciated.
The Falcon demo being 'Lost Blubb', from someone who's spent too much time and money on his Falcon!
@@chrisholland5138 Well, I certainly didn’t pay a stupid eBay price for the Falcon030. The only things done to the Falcon are replacing the NVRAM/clock chip and replacing the 4MB SIMM on the memory board with a 16MB one, oh and a hard drive as the original had sticky bumper syndrome.
This particular machine is a rare one which doesn’t need the system clock patch, it just works.
Always makes my day to see a KJ video uploaded. Just the right amount of document/personality. Looks a lovely place. Nice to see they named a computer after you. This was a joy to watch. Keep being awesome Kim ❤
Tandy, selling the CoCo for the same price as the BBC Micro, when parents held the purse strings, schools were buying BBC Micros and the national broadcaster was supporting the BBC Micro... yeah, Atari almost got away with it with the 48k 800 and the XL range because it was already kind of established.
Nice to see the mighty little Microbee making a showing. 🇦🇺
Nice to see the exhibits, I was mainly a console user, the only computer I used was a PC. This was down to the computers I used in training schemes. I like the PC because of the utilities you can download.
Good to see you there. Remember, I live very close by, so whenever there's something going down there I'm usually around. Good to see you there and nice video!
Thanks for sharing! I really need to make it down one of these days.
Fantastic, thanks Kim. I've still yet to go to the museum. Will soon though. :)
Love your videos Kim. Always informative, entertaining and well thought out.
Great bit of commentary Kim. You do a great job.
Good video, but would have been nice spending time on the Oric-1, the Dragon 32 and other computers that did make inroads into the UK market in the 80s
Always nice to see these old classic machines and in such good nick like they have just been removed from the box new. Thanks for the video Kim Justice.
Wonderful! Thank you very much!
So many rare and amazing systems, wish I was there
amazing. I saw a channel that was all about quantal a while ago, impressive stuff, and neat from a graphics pipeline as a backplane sort of way.
There's some outlandishly obscure systems on display here. I'd not even heard of half of those before.
The PDP-11 was the first computer manufactured in Ireland in 1970. The fact they're doing reproductions of them now is amazing. Want!
Didn't see it here, but remember in 82/83 Sinclair (I think) had a model available in the UK that had a cream case with blue rubber keys. Much like the Spectrum in design and it's native language was Forth.
Woo! Exciting retro stuff.
Absolutely awesome wished I had gone thanks for the video again brilliant work ,
Great stuff! I particularly enjoyed the kit machines you featured. We did an episode of ARG Presents about the NASCOM machines, and it really opened my eyes to the British kit computer scene of the late 70's forward. I enjoy the various homemade cases and self engineered peripherals. Great to see some footage of that stuff. Well done!
I'd like to go to one of these events someday... if only there were events like this where I live...
What a wonderful look at some truly incredible computers, thank you for sharing this with us Kim.
Cracking video as ever Kim👍
Thanks for the great video, Kim! A small note: The MicroBee wasn't just for schools. There were home users, too. One of my best mates had a deluxe model, although admittedly a lot of his games were of the educational variety, e.g. "GeograBee". I also remember a platformer called "Ladder" and some text adventures typical of the time. Can't picture any shooters or driving titles, but it was so long ago...
Great content Kim, really do enjoy your vlogs and returning to places visited in previous videos. Classic stuff. Excellent content as ever. Thankyou.
Great stuff Kim.
0:40 Yes, finally! A retro channel will mention the Sharp MZ, my childhood computer that everyone's ignoring!
...Oh. Nevermind, then.
I remember seeing lots of adverts for the Sam Coupe in the pages of Your Sinclair back in the day, and really wanted one 😝 I’m not entirely sure why ‘cos I can’t remember what it could do 😖😂
Hi Kim! Would you ever do a video on the Philips CD-i system from the 90's? I worked at Philips and wrote the Atlantis and RamRaid games for it - it's quite a quirky system with a lot of UK-based teams working on it - eg The &th Guest was written in Dorking and other games in Redhill
Very interesting to get to see these Kim. Great video. :)
Thanks
I wish i kept my Amstrad CPC 464 and Amiga 500 now. The only old computer i have these days is a Pentium 2 266 overclocked to 300 Mhz which i use to play games such as Command and Conquer and Blade Runner.
Oh wow! This is incredible.
I took my nieces and nephews to the manchester museum of industry and science few weeks ago. I was utterly disappointed that this wasn't what they got to experience.
Thanks for the vid man
Please elaborate.
I was thinking of going there too
@@time4advancement244
Ohh yess yess.
The museum is very good, I thought there would be more about science and not just industry. That's not the case. It's mainly about textile with very little about science thrown here and there.
There is a paid section about the history of computers, I didn't visit it. I donated 25 gbp before knowing the part I cared about the most costs money to even be allowed to stand at the gate to see what's inside. Have I known, I would have saved my donation to enter the pc history section.
@@Mermaider Sounds expensive?
This looked fascinating. Wish I had known about it!
0:54 Woahw dude I think I had a little too much to drink and what was in that pill Jerry gave me?
I sold a Falcon recently for about a grand. It didn't really catch on and I had no experience of one so had no idea what as was doing with it.
Another great video. You can't be everwhere so it's nice to see what's going on.
Anyone know what the end credit music is?
The Casio machines are pretty. Very nice designs
nice retro machines.
Hi Kim, love your videos, really appreciate them. Keep up the good work.
nice one
Erm, hope people don't mind, this is one of the few places where I thought somebody might be interested in buying an Amiga 1200 Desktop Dynamite pack (think it's just the box actually! The software and games are still in my loft somewhere! 😊 Oh! And it's got an extra disk drive and a 60MEG HARD DRIVE! WOOOOO!!! 😊 😀
(Couldn't afford the much larger 80MEG OR 120MG, the largest at the time I think?) 🤔
I have an Amiga 500+ too, and a Commodore Vic 20 somewhere. Still looking for those though! 🤔
Ooh, and seeing as Scalextrix is mentioned here, I've got LOADS of vintage track, old cars and stuff like scenery too. It's mostly from the 1950s (dad's) and 1980s (mine). I had a Ford Escort box and a Formula 1 box too. Plus some Transformers (mainly dinosaur ones I think) and lots of smaller car ones, maybe a fighter jet one, plus I had a strange sort of smaller passenger type jet that would affix onto the back of the actual Transformer...? 🤔 I can't remember any of the names of the Transformers I'm afraid.
Might also have some He-Man figures too... 🤔
ASMR heaven for retro gamers 💖
Cool vid.
The MTX512 wasn’t that the pc used in the film Weird Science?
Indeed it was, with the FDX floppy disk and 80 column board expansion.
You do wonder whether we'd all be living in a fallout 3 like world if they'd used a zx81 to power nuclear power stations. Especially if someone tried to plug the 16k memory in when it was switched on.
Deep digital archaeology seems to be finding out if some system can run Space Invaders, Pac Man, Doom, Etc. Is Crysis the next generations benchmark (for the LOLs) ?
thanks for the upload Kim....great stuff!
There's far too much exciting kit in this video for me to deal with.
_"Well, it's another Kim video where I'm Outside."_
Sounds weirdly familiar. What part of the country is that again? :p
Some of those printers still seem space age to me (the good late 20th century analogue kind of space age, mind you) especially compared to my horrible modern Canon printer, that gets confused and shits it's pants everytime I load paper into it. Some of those printers still seem space age to me (the good late 20th century analogue kind of space age, mind you) especially compared to my horrible modern Canon printer, that gets confused and shits it's pants everytime I load paper into it. And there's also something strangely nostalgic about the telephone networking segment and that *internet dot tv* keyboard, when the idea of the surfing the web was still novel and exciting. Cuz' it was like the telly, only not crap!
Did anyone spot that that MTX512 was connected to a VGA monitor ?
Yes, it has the new MFX expansion I got a couple of months ago. Upgrades the machine to 512K RAM and adds 80 column card compatible hardware and TMS emulation using an FPGA outputting to VGA. It also has a virtual floppy interface (SD card) and ethernet so that you can upload and download software/data to/from the virtual drives.
One of the saddest things is that amiga and atari falcon ,ste ..never reached their full potential..
kim hello. i have old comuter apple // c in his original box i located in isreal i intresting sell it to who relly interesting in it .
hello
