I never saw it before, but since at that age I was getting into computers (cocoII), the whole scene is awfully familiar :P (specially people´s visuals).
I have to bow for the quality, the acting is fantastic and the amount of humor just perfect. Somehow, the cheesy set kind of fits it all. Good infos too.
I´m having great fun checking them out.
EDIT: back in brasil, no tv shows, just some computer tv ads and mainly CPU magazines and the INPUT collection all based on a few 8bit comps of the time. Good thing I could import the rainbow magazines...altough I didn´t knew english :P
Jeje, thanks Erico, this in another Spanish Forum... they like a lot... I watch some videos of this Program, and it´s awesoming...
These times, was very very nice, the informatic in these times was really cool...
In my country now , we have a lot of people developing for 64K and Z80 Computers, and the works are very impressive...
Thanks Erico, I try to pass to ZDP... this it´s the Spanish forum about the "cacharreo"... =D =D =D

Wonderful stuff, thanks for the link. :good: Its got a lovely format, a bit like a gadget show but with computer technology spin. I particularly liked the non-patronising method of explaining some of the concepts in basic code too that is used throughout the series. I unfortunately missed this when I was at school at the time, which was a real pity.
Anyone remember BBC's "Look Around You" :)
Thanks Erico, I don´t know about this Programm, someting BIzarre?¿ (I don´t ear the audio)
I was part of remaking the HorseFight game for Retro Remakes competition 2007 (http://retroremakes.com/nostalgia/competitions/) to recreate the game shown in that show. Download the game pack!
On 1:46 on that last video, where the voice over says "simulation" you just look at the guys face... :D
Am I seeing a hidden joke there or am I sick?
I have been laughing for hours, can´t think of the guys face.
LOL, weirdest way to hold a joystick ever! Also, it looks like he's having way too much, erm, 'fun' with it! :noggin:
Curious. Watched the show on AI and was engrossed. Hah.
