Re: Wednesday 3 am quiz: Software houses by street view building
Great collection of images. Though I'm not sure how anyone is supposed to "guess" these if we don't already happen to know. Personally, I'd rather be given a list of the 9 answers so I can try and fit the buildings to the company based on style/scale. Reading the OP’s subsequent post I’m ...

Re: Wednesday 3 am quiz: Software houses by street view building
As a youngster I'd always imagined gleaming towers of industry. Most of these, especially number 5, are the sort of place when you find an especially cheap bit of kit of ebay, look up the posting address, and backoff cos it looks like a dodgy untraceable address. Me too, which is why, whenever I co...

Re: Wednesday 3 am quiz: Software houses by street view building
The picture shows nine Google Street View images of buildings where U.K. software houses that published Speccy games back in the day were situated. Can you guess the software houses? Well, for numero uno I'm guessing Anirog/Anco. However, if I were to be a pedant -- and I am -- that company's addre...

Re: Hidden message in Predator
This hidden message reveals information about the development of Predator. I couldn't find anything in this site so I thought I could post it. I used to delight in stumbling upon stuff like this. It felt like peeking behind the curtain. All context as to how or why forgotten, I remember finding a p...

Re: Was Hannah Smith real?
Is this really still going? She is real. That’s just what a conspirator would say! (But joking aside, I’m a rational person. I don’t actually care much if at all about whether or not Hannah Smith was real. The weight of evidence sure points to the likelihood that she was real. But I don’t think any...

Ikr. It’s a mystery to me why they’re able to generate some convincing images of almost anything imaginable, but not something that actually exists.

An AI ZX Spectrum...
I was just a bit bored, so I asked Copilot to "generate a mosaic-style photo of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer made of photos of other retro computers from the era". The result, to my eye at least, is rather attractive -- but it looks nothing like a real ZX Spectrum. But man, how great ...

Re: Bricks and Mortar shops...
I stumbled on this a while back. No idea who runs it or how up to date it is but you can use the Filters tab on the right to locate physical shops. It has a couple of shops in my local area that I know to be relatively recent and still trading, so I'd hope it's pretty accurate: https://retro.directo...

Impossible games...
So I stumbled upon this video tonight, of some chap managing to complete Dynamite Dan (DD) without cheating (well, other than using an initial save state, so he knew the layout of the otherwise-randomised items). I'm not sure who he is... he might even be a member here. Anyway, it's an incredible ef...
