I think someone or two is missed? after timberwolfk
Thanks for having us, Neil! A fantastic time was had by all. Also big thanks are in order to Lee from More Fun Making It for organising the day. 😁
wouldn't you take the doom wad editor? i loved that program :)
Even though I'm subscribed to a handful of Retro channels., the almighty algorithm has never presented even one of these humble cottage tubers to me. Cross channel promotion seems to be really important!
Shoutout to the several magnificent moustaches in that lineup. Bravo, gentlemen. 👍
Huge thank you for a wonderful day Neil 😊 and a huge thank you to Lee (More fun making it!) for organising it!
Thanks Neil and colleagues for our visit to The Cave. I'm not a gamer nor do I collect retro computers. However my husband is a big gaming and computer fan, building a personal collection and I like to share his joy in finding items from his past and the unusual and celebrate when he manages to bring one back to life. Being somewhat of a newb, I still thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the displays and being able to play some of the simplistic games. A very pleasant reception by your colleague, great environment (light, spacious and clean with room for all attendees to spread out) and a lot of thought put into the displays (cool 1980s shop WHS logo back when almost everything was orange and brown). I would definitely revisit but maybe try the arcade games section as well if we have a longer visit to The Cotswolds.
My husband loved the place and it had it's own unique style in comparison to other computer museums elsewhere in the country. PS the 80s Christmas songs in the background were a good touch.
Thanks so much for this, Neil. It was a wonderful day and great to meet everyone -- and this "souvenir" of it all is a great way to remember it. Although I feel like I will now forever be weeping that I will probably never own an X68000.
I loved trying out that X68000 when I visited earlier in the year. I'd never seen one before but my god I want one now!
That collection of terrible joysticks is brilliant 😂
I had to try that floaty mid-air joystick on Manic Miner. I somehow kludged my way through the first level and retired undefeated.
Thanks for having us, it was a wonderful day, it was great to meet so many great people!
great meeting you again :)
Ah, 16 Shades of Orange. The little known prequel to 50 Shades of Grey...
That was a lot of fun. I'm not a retro gamer at all but I love the enthusiasm of the community and learning about stuff that I was completely clueless about when I was a kid.
Thanks for a great weekend! Finally getting to find out what everyone else brought... good thing there's a 486 there to play Transport Tycoon on!
Kudos to Charlotte. We bought the same shirt!
It really was great to finally get to the cave! Thanks for having us Neil.
I really enjoyed this, brilliant idea. There were quite a few channels I was not subscribed (and now am).
My favourite item was the Olivetti Colour Laptop, what an awesome system, that would keep me busy, as long as I had some dev tools on there (and some way of powering it) I wouldn't even notice the time.
Thanks! It’s an amazing machine, I love it
Thanks for hosting us at the cave. I probably should not have just grabbed the first thing that came to hand as I left the house. I have remebered I did get the disk off Mike Clark, but it was not in the pub. The thing from the pub was a different thing, from a different forma Psygnosis person.
So many retro tubers I have never heard of or seen linked to ! Ctrl alt rees is the only i know, so time to check these lot out !
Highlights : Rees discovering his rare item is technically the single most common thing in the room and Gigerpunk following up claiming to be unprofessional by demanding a close up.
24:30 Nice to see one of the chuckle brothers having some retro fun! 😄
Unexpected Antiques Roadshow vibes.😅
Omg that desert island screen saver was my favourite for years. His little tree was even decorated if you had it running over Christmas
Love that Olivetti retro laptop, amazing LCD screen for its time, and love the pull-out trackpad, I bet that means some arcade ports would be playable on it too like Marble Madness as well as classic point & click games, even the speaker looks cool.
Thanks! I feel very privileged to have it, it’s the gem of my collection
@@TechMadeEasyUK I wonder if that is the same model of Olivetti that the late Sir Terry Pratchett owned in the nineties? There's an article by him somewhere (probably included in one of his posthumous collections) praising an Olivetti as the first computer he had found that was both truly portable and truly capable.
@@stamfordly6463 ooh, I’ll need to look into that
Neil has the best job ever! Loved the desert island stories. Loved Duncan's ZX-81 story. Yep, kids will be kids and will try to 'improve' their computers. Drill a hole here, bit of copper there. 😁
This video is dope as f***. I loved it, and liked everyone who was involved. Thanks for all your information, and contributions!
Thanks!
This is a my favourite episode so far. Absolutely love it. My tribe!
Analogue sticks that don't centre! lol, I canny think of anything worse, definitely makes you appreciate all the options we have now days.
@30:19 Yay RetroBytes! A great channel.
Had such a good time Neil, thanks for hosting. And thanks to everyone who came along, it was lovely to meet you all face to face
Neil and his big retro heart ❤
great idea neil brilliant idea the desert island great to see you all
Transport Tycoon is really a top choice!
Pleased to say I already follow a few of these and great to see the UK retro scene being represented and a few more channels to sub to.
I LOVE that modded ZX81. My first computer too - wish I still had my original but I don't. (I do have one though!)
It was a wonderful day with some wonderful people! The Cave and the Arcade are brilliant, as was mine host!
Well this was lovely. I would have preferred it if Snorkers was dressed up as one of the other channels just to make everything more confusing than it needed to be, but I guess one can only dream.
I mean, he kind of dressed up as all of us, what with his BRA and all.
And I had the tweed jacket in honour of the host! @@ThisIsPete
Love the video - great to find some RUclipsrs who I wasn't aware of to subscribe to!
I was drawn in by Johnny Castaway. I still put that screensaver on an outdated android phone as a somewhat animated picture-frame on my desk. Yeah you can get it running on android! :)
Great idea Neil. My item would be my childhood 48K spectrum. With a copy of Sam Fox Poker maybe!
Enjoyed that! Particularly amused by all those terrible joysticks (just remove the word 'joy' from the equation). I had the 'pleasure' of trying out those BBC micro sticks back in the day at a friend's house. He had bought them to use with his Acorn Electron. He ended up tinkering with them and improved them by adding some small springs to make them centre automatically and to give some resistance whilst playing. Ahh, those were the days.
I was particularly interested in what WhatHoSnorkers was going to bring. I'm somewhat disappointed that it wasn't a gigantic box of costume pieces.
This video was actually just Snorkers from start to finish. Guys got range
Great idea Neil. Many new RUclipsrs to subscribe to.
Kinda strange seeing the faces behind a lot of the voices! I enjoyed this.
Feud on the ZX Spectrum, best game EVER, have finished it many times, I know all about it and every which way to win, I still love it :) x
If we're talking tech only, then I'd say the best thing you could take to a desert island is a Steam Deck and solar panel charger (plus a good pair of headphones), you would have literally every video game ever made at your fingertips, plus I'd load it up with movies & TV shows, music, the whole Wikipedia archive (could come in handy), books & audiobooks, graphic novels, magazines, you wouldn't be bored that's for sure, not bad for a device you can fit in your pocket (well almost, might want a GPD Win 2 or the upcoming Win Mini for a pocket friendly UMPC).
What a great idea.
The Rasteri is the magical custodian of the ISA bus
He possesses dark magic that the rest of us can only dream of attaining
@@ctrlaltrees - he knows the forbidden opcodes
What a great group of people you have collected, RMC!
Yeah they are!
That was very different. Loving the pop up book/books, they're wonderful creations in their own right.
Settlers 2 '2 player mode' was brilliant. I remember it exactly as GouldFish said, split screen and a mouse each. The only game/program I've ever known to make use of two mice, running independently.
Great video! That Olivetti Philos, which means friend in greek, is amazing :)
Thanks! I feel very privileged to have it
10:27 This is probably the first time I've seen the ZX81 in a context that shows the actual size, that thing is tiny! Or, maybe, Duncan and Neil are HUUUGE! :D Edit: that is also the best screen saver ever made!
I had that screensaver in the thumbnail, on my work PC. People used to stop at my desk to watch him when I was at lunch :P
Johnny Castaway was the name of that one 👍
@@RMCRetro That's the name. Thanks :)
Satellite phone.
No? Ok, I guess it would be a Batocera setup full of roms.
If it had to be actual retro tech, I'd be torn between a Spectrum or an Atari ST.
A mister system, my portable monitor and a solar power setup :)
A man after my heart, I just couldn’t be bothered to lug that all in so went for the Anbernic.
What a great episode, the reminded me of so many things from when I grew up. The Atari 130XE I had as a Kid, the Dragon 32 Joystick, wow was it really that bad 🙂 My dad got me in to computing, with a Dragon 32 back in the day, he used to work for Dragon Data, I used to get bags of games to play in those days. I remember typing in programs on the main TV in the lounge, and not saving before running them and then they would lock up and I'd have to start again, Peeking and Poking, machine code. I'm sure I will enjoy watching some of the other channels you have introduced me to in this episode, great memories, thanks.
'Used thee PS/2 P70 for quite a while at work, i used to work for ICI.
6:23 yes man RATR! ❤
Hello!!!👋😁
Motorola Iridium 9500 sat phone. 1998 with a fresh battery. So i could be rescued and find the dude who put me there and settle things...
nuff said? :)
In my case it would probably turn out like a Twilight Zone episode.
I'd settle in for an eternity of peace with my Commodore 64, only to find that I didn't have an Action Replay cartridge.
If I still had it, I'd bring my old Actrix DS luggable. 7" Amber Screen (80x25), Z80A @ 4 MHz, 64k, CP/M 2.2, a ton of software on 5.25" floppies, two of which (5.25" half-height) are mounted in the chassis along with an Epson MX-80 printer with tractor feed and a 300 baud acoustic coupler all built-in.
Since I can't bring that, I'd bring my toolkit and just build something!
That geezer with the Fantasy book reminds me of a 90s UK presenter of one of the many gaming shows we had back then, lol.
Great video Neil. I hope to visit the cave one day. For me, I would load up a laptop with WinUAE. Whdload pack, as much of eab ftp server and loads of aminet cds. That will keep me busy for a while. 😉
A brown Zune. If it was good enough for Starlord, then it's good enough for me.
Excellent video!
You should have named this "Desert Island Floppy Disks."
Some years back I did a podcast called Desert Island Diskettes which you can still find floating about on the internet
I'm really jealous of these folks that kept all their original computers and things. I wish I still had my original computer, an Apple IIe. Then I had a Packard Bell Legend, the same model that was rebuilt on this channel. I also had an Atari 2600. I wish I still had all that stuff but when I was 12, we moved and my parents threw out a lot of stuff so they wouldn't have to move it.
The should be your next This Week in Retro question of the week!
Is that the Gigerpunk who used to do stuff on Cmdr Zorg's "A bit broken"? I need to check him out! Thanks for this showcase!
Guilty as charged, I'm afraid...
i would take a 90s laptop with short wave radio modem and just email the coast guard. if i am only allowed to play games i would get meridian 59 or ultima online and try to convince the players to help me get off the island .if that is too modern i will play mud games instead .
It's interesting that dance dance revolution is considered retro. Nothing wrong with it, jut interesting to me.
I was thinking now what I would bring… and frankly I have no idea.
I think it probably be my C64 to record the last episode of my C64 assembly course (joystick processing) before viewers rise up 😂and then I’ll finish a game Ive started a year ago but don’t find challenging/fun enough to spend my time on.
i broke 3 of those C16 joysticks on the same game, Formula One
Awful joystick guy was my favorite of these.
Yeah, but I like that C16 joystick. I had it on my C64. But like all the others it died eventually. I probably have at least 2 dozen similarly deceased joysticks sitting in a box under my desk. The only ones from the era that have lasted are the microswitched "Star Cursor" joysticks which are big and bulky with suckers on the bottom and multiple arcade style buttons, even on the stalk.
I remember that god awful Dragon 32 joystick so well, at the time it seemed perfectly fine but seeing it again reminds me of how shockingly awful it was.
Simples: later generation RISC PC with ArcElite, Zap, and StrongHelp with as many manuals as possible installed. A C compiler would be nice, but not required.
I still think if I had only one thing Ito take, I'd still take my toothbrush as a desert island would have no electricity, so no way to power any tretro devices :)
thank you for a wonderful day
Damn, Neil must own a lot of tthe desert islands out there!
That’s the rub; we’re all on the same island. We’re quite happy over here, leave us be
Loving the #Olivetti @8:14
Thanks TiBo!
I would take my copy of Populous and Lemmings (both Amiga versions).
That PS/2 70 is gorgeous
RetrobytesUK is such an amazing documentaries channel 🤩🤩🤩
And a thoroughly nice bloke too
My god I'd forgotten how terrible the TI99 joystick was untill just now
I'd bring my SEGA Saturn which has a mod chip installed that would give me access to hundreds of amazing Japan only titles, but also makes it possible to play ... er ... "backup copies" of any game which would allow me to play some games that are too expensive for even a well off gamer. The Saturn has it all: Amazing exclusives, some of the best arcade ports that are still ironically better than similar attempts today (ie: Street Fighter Zero 3), and any region specific classics that stand the test of time.
Nooo, the C=16 and plus/4 joystick is a great joystick.
I mean, I don't want to kink shame here but the only thing I've found it being good for is pinching the edge of my palm whenever I try to use it. If that's your thing then fine, but I'll stick with my adaptor so I can use what I deem to be *better* joysticks. (I.e. Ones that don't hurt me)
I would take my eMac, you can play anything from Space Invaders to Quake III, including DOS games
a mister fpga is great for a desert island
Pete, a man with taste - Atari XE FTW!! 👍👍
Subscribed and watching the read through of issue 1, of Page 6. 👍 - I had the 65XE my parents bought me around my 8th/9th/10th Birthday, it was a Dixons deal, in a redbox with 10 games. - After a couple of years I reached the dizzying heights of the ST. bought from Evesham Micros with the power pack games bundle. - how do we go back, I want to go back?
@ukgaming3465 Same here, sir. Same here. If you find out, let me know. In the meantime I'll be sitting in my little room devoted to the old classics. :)
That’s a nice thing to do. Good karma!
that pop up book computer, deserved a hole episode just think of it a computer of any form, made of paper and card, only form what was a vary valuable 85-90 times in computer, no battery no nothing but could still emulate basic functions of a computer, and learn something of what and how a computer worked? if some said make this now the answer would the no run for the batteries and where CPU control board going to fit 🙂
Thats a whole lot of UK retro youtubers!
Much like how there always has to be a designated survivor who doesn't get on the presidential plane, we sent RoseTintedSpectrum to Blackpool that day just in case.
Love this! Thanks
You do you if your standard on a desert island they'd be no electricity either.
did the furby say f u???
Furbee..... Red Flag!
I would take:
Red Alert 2 yuri's revenge
Sensible world of Soccer
Micropose Grandprix 4
😅
History Line
Olivetti ❤🔥
Yeah boi!
Do many new channels to check ;)
Did no-one bring a fishing rod?
We’re gonna make one out of those joysticks.
I wonder if any games came with an inflatable life raft
