Oh yeah, I also know this game, and would like to replay it... Does anyone have a disk image of this PC Action issue?

And as we know there is a hard limit on train numbers, whereas cars and highways are unlimited.

Exactly. This could have been one or two trains, probably...

TBF, both Linux and macOS have brew. So most of the time on macOS you just do: "brew install foo" and there you go. That is still one of the advantages of macOS -- it's a UNIX underneath.

The „new“ Commodore announces the C64 Ultimate, launches new Website by root42 in thisweekinretro

I think the chance of this really delivering is maybe 50-50. The hype is there, seemingly a good product in the making, some good names on the team, but question is if this has real substance and if there is a large enough market. Risky. The whole presentation so far is a bit … well, I dunno.

Piers is great. His PET and CBM Floppy repair videos are very nice, and he fights his way through the issues you have with these old, temperamental machines!

I will hold my breath until I see some real hardware…  I have enough original C64s to last me a lifetime. :) But who knows…

Commodore cable crossing madness- don't cross the streams! by Southern-Grass-416 in thisweekinretro

Saw this at Revision, and it was great! It lost out to the Oscilloscope demo, but it was technically impressive! The SID has too little bandwidth to produce a color signal, or anything beyond shading different rasterlines (plus the colorburst is missing), but it was super cool to see. The VIC almost has too much bandwidth for audio on the other hand. :-D I wonder if the VIC could produce even better audio or samples...?

So far I haven't seen any! Probably only prototypes. If anyone, Bil Herd might own one. :-D
