Unions should be interested in the reputation of their members. By supporting bad pilots they're making them all look bad.

"Some 3rd parties produced boards that could contain a Blitter chip, but I’m not aware of anyone directly adding one to the board." My 520ST was upgraded with 2.5MB of RAM and an added blitter chip, so it did happen. I still have

My mother used to play Dropzone while I was at school, she got amazingly good at it. A very impressive game for the time, extremely smooth graphics on the Atari 8-bit. I was playing it just a few days ago on an emulator, great game. I&#x

I'm not sure why they're delaying things by focusing on making it wireless "so it can be wearable". A few years ago I wore a portable heart monitor for a three days and it was very much wired and it was fine, you get us

I think every half way capable military on the planet is seeing the news and videos coming out of Ukraine and thinking, hmm, must invest in anti-drone technology. A decade from now what's happening in Ukraine won't work against mo

Yes! I'm always having a quick game of Inertia, Pattern or Slant while waiting for things to download, compile or just because I felt like it. It's nice having so many tiny little fun games available.
