And Googling that 'secret number'... it looks like Timothy was selling his Coleco Adam (in the March 1985 edition of C&VG):
Right, I really must get back to work now!

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...

Sinclair-related Cambridge sights?
So I have a few hours to kill in Cambridge tomorrow, before going to see a show. I'm probably going to stop by the Centre for Computing History for perhaps the third or fourth time, because why not? And I'm going to have a pint and a polite brawl in the Baron of Beef, because I've not done that befo...
