Haynes DIY Retro Radio

Let's build a radio! This is a retro one, not DAB or anything fancy like that, but the radio is on an integrated circuit, so it's just putting a few things together. Lovely. Why not try it yourself?

Addipresto - Adding Machine

มุมมอง 304ปีที่แล้ว

Before calculators, but after fingers and toes, this is a lovely example of a mechanical adding machine. If you're interested in this kind of thing, check out Jaap Scherphuis's channel here, there's lots of interesting things like this: www.youtube.com/@jaapsch2

Mice come in all shapes and sizes, and this one is particularly perculiar! Did you own a Posturite Penguin mouse? Maybe you still do? Also here's a UK specific joke: Why don't Polar Bears eat Penguins? They can't get the wrappers off!

This little device can guess what you're thinking by asking yes or no questions. If it guesses what you're thinking of within 20 questions, then it wins! It brings ancient parlour games up to date! Try and think of something obscure, and you might be surprised at how clever it is. You can try it out online at this classy looking website: www.20q.net/ You could try AI to play it, Alexa, ChatGPT,...

Texas Instruments Avigo 10 - PDA

มุมมอง 866ปีที่แล้ว

1993 brought us many things, Jurassic Park, Doom, my first paper round, and my first Texas Instruments calculator. But none of those are as good, or perhaps the same as, a PDA! An honest to goodness PDA from the kings of calculators! Or is that HP? We'll get to some of those one day. Anyway, enjoy this quick look at the only PDA Texas Instruments ever made. You're going to love it.

Apocalypse Cow - DOS 1996

มุมมอง 256ปีที่แล้ว

It's Cowmageddon! Hurl cow's at each other until they meet mid air, and then beat-em-up your way to victory! Quite the strangest game to be released in 1996, an excellent Python-esque affair!

I made a Word Clock, and so can you!

มุมมอง 303ปีที่แล้ว

There are hundreds of Word Clocks out there, but this one is mine and I made it with my own fair hands. It's pretty straightforward, once you get everything wired up. You can put it in any box or frame you like. If you want the code, I can make a github space for it, it's not exactly elegant, but I'm happy to help! A good fun little DIY project to impress your friends and elderly relatives. Any...

This top down Zelda-esque game was way better than it should have been. Throwing fruits, converting people, answering Bible questions, my Mum approved! I'll walk through the whole game in this video, and show off some of its interesting features.

Brain Teacher - Handheld game

มุมมอง 104ปีที่แล้ว

Aren't brains amazing? No, not really, they're just pink mush that can be trained to be super clever using a device like this! Or can they? Probably not. I struggled to answer the most basic questions, and I couldn't even find out how old my brain was. Presume it's the same age as me though. The age of mush!

SHARP ZQ-4350 Electronic Organizer

A nice little organizer here with loads of functions from 1996. Calendar, Scheduler (isn't that the same thing?), Anniversary reminder (ok, that's definitely the same thing as a calendar), To Do, Telephone Directory, Memo, Expense, World Clock, Calculator and Converter. But wait, there's more! It's even got a backlight! We have arrived Ladies and Gentleman, this is the future!
