Re: Oric Atmos in Vienna: RETROGAMING Museum

Short update, we had 8000 visitors to the museum in August! Once we got everything set up, I visited every week on Thursdays and Friday (Sat/Sun, alternating), and personally witnessed the 8-bit section in constant use! Folks seem to have really enjoyed having access to the real machines. The Oric h...

Re: JEB SOFT

I could most certainly attempt it, and would be glad to make an event out of it (for the retro museum here in Vienna, at which I am now officially a Curator) for posterity, as such an event itself is very relevant to our visitors.

Re: Oric Atmos in Vienna: RETROGAMING Museum

I've updated the exhibit with captions, which some of you might be interested in reading - so I've made them available in a public repository for the exhibit, where we will inevitably also be storing materials related to the workshops as time goes by... https://github.com/seclorum/retroGamingMuseumV...

Re: Oric Atmos in Vienna: RETROGAMING Museum

Something very interesting is happening .. every day of the visit since I got it set up last week, I have met an ORIC USER! "Whoa, 8-bit section .. cool .. oh my <fnord> .. is that AN ORIC?! I HAD ONE OF THOSE!" I've heard this reaction in various forms every day since last week when we go...

Re: Oric Atmos in Vienna: RETROGAMING Museum

Oh, we have a few other games and things in mind that demonstrate the machine nicely .. SPACE 1999 has a great intro, Defence Force, etc. :)

But I would like to have a workshop on different demos at some point so I will revisit this ..

The Atmos is really putting a shine on the...

Re: Upgrade Time: Encounter

Its really beautiful and I can't wait to play it on a real system (*).


(* BTW, I have added an Oric Atmos to the Retrogaming museum here in Vienna, it can be played/presented on there too if you like... at the moment the museum gets thousands of visitors a week ..)

Re: Oric-1 Reborn - Possible Project?

I always imagine an Atmos with a snap-on adapter that covers the ports completely, and makes it portable. It could therefore be the case that a real Atmos would be the front-end of, say, an Exos-like configuration of Atmos (Next-Generation) cores running on something modern, also enclosed in the sna...

Re: CP/M on the Oric
