Due to on-going and unresolved technical issues Robert is experiencing with the new WordPress blog and the related hosting platform, it has been decided that retro-link.com will exist at blogspot. Therefore, I will migrate my posts over to retro-link.blogspot.com, and will follow with a transfer of the domain name. Please update your bookmarks to retro-link.blogspot.com.
Saturday, October 22, 2011 marks “Game Night” at The Personal Computer Museum at 13 Alma Street in Brantford, Ontario.

Syd Bolton, the curator of the museum, is sure to make this a fun event for all who attend. If you’re on Facebook, you can read more about the event here.

In the 1980′s, the car of the future was the DeLorean. Now the DeLorean motor company has decided the car of the future will be available in the future…2013, to be precise. This time, it’s going to be powered by an electric motor; presumably to be fueled by a Mr. Fusion.
Head on over to www.ErikSchubach.com to download and print out a page which you can transform into your very own miniature Commodore SX-64 papercraft model. Just add scissors and glue. Very nice.
This came in the mail today, just 2 days after being shipped out of San Francisco. I’ll have to pull out one of my working PETs just to try out this new micro-SD drive. Oh, the website is http://www.bitfixer.com/bf/PETdisk , and it’s $25 US (not including shipping).
At the Oct. 21-23 Amiwest Show in Sacramento, California, I intend to have a working exhibit of ArcadeRetroGaming.com’s Multiple Classic Computer 216 (MCC-216), VGA version. It will have the Amiga 500, Commodore 64, and Atari 2600 cores (possibly even the new Apple II core). Now all I have to do is grab some free table space from a friend or a vendor.

You wanted screenshots of Digimaster 64… you’ve got screenshots of Digimaster 64. This is the C64 software which uses the Sound Ultimate Xpander 6400 cartridge in order to capture and play back audio in 8-bit quality.

“Every time I think I’m out, they pull me back in.” A few hours ago, I signed and faxed back the agreement between me and the Las Vegas Club Hotel for the Commodore Vegas Expo v8 2012. Yup, CommVEx is returning next year to the third floor Left Field Room at the hotel on 18 E. Fremont Street. How many more years can I keep this up?
