The Acorn Archimedes A305 was the original and first ARM CPU powered computer. I'm doing some work on mine in preparation for a video on the history of the ARM architecture and the Archimedes in general, so join me for a progress update!
Covered in this video: Reversing the video mod I did a few years ago to restore sync-on-green, the Burr-Brown op amp audio upgrade, monitor power switch fix and keyboard rebuild.

A chance to go "behind the scenes" with the channel with a slightly more informal, unscripted format wherein I talk about some of my ongoing projects that didn't make it to YouTube, a few of my game collecting pickups and some future video plans.
Some topics covered: My game room / YouTube studio remodel, a new bit of (old) hardware for my Atari 800, some Atari calculators, PC-MIDI ISA card, Creative SoundBlaster hanging notes and the Roland SoundCanvas, an update on my Acorn Archimedes restoration, the return of my OJTRTA series, the Atari Lynx, and some big box Atari ST and PC games for the collection!

In this video, I check out a bit of an oddball Pentium MMX 233 system with an ESS AudioDrive sound card and S3 ViRGE video card, an early 3D accelerator released around the same time as the original 3dfx Voodoo cards.

I'm the proud owner of an Oric Atmos 8-bit computer that was used as a prop in Channel 4 sitcom The IT Crowd. Here's the story of how it came to be in my possession, what happened when I tried to power it up for the first time, and what I needed to fix to get it up and running. I also take a look at some games on the system.

"DeathWatch" was a 2D run and gun platformer developed by British game developer Data Design InterActive for the Atari Jaguar. It was announced and demoed at E3 1995, the first E3. The Nintendo N64, Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn were announced at the same event, all with a big focus on 3D capabilities. Atari cancelled development of "DeathWatch" in favour of 3D games shortly after the event. No known ROM dumps exist and this is the only known footage.
What do you think about this #atarijaguar #platformer leaked #gameplay footage from E3 1995?
