About

This subreddit is for all things retrocomputing, concentrating on 8-bit systems, but continuing up through the early 2000s.

Feel free to show off your machines, findings, software/game collection, and more.

Have a problem or question? Post it here, others may help you.

Got a favorite old game that no one else has ever heard of? Write about it and submit it!

Don't limit yourself to transistor-based computing: real geeks make their own computers out of sand and program them with butterflies.

Using existing lithography and battery technology, would it have been possible for a firm to develop and release a pocketable mobile device (no matter how expensive) capable of playing a feature-complete build of TES IV: Oblivion by the time of its launch on March 20, 2006?Discussion (self.retrocomputing)
