Thanks to Adam Markey for highlighting a conversions call from Codemasters in April 1987, we've created a set of new entries. Various conversions all currently lost for #ZXSpectrum, #Atari800, #MSX and #Commodore16/#Plus4:

Ten more tcbm2sd cartridges will start their journey to Hungary tomorrow.
A month ago I had the pleasure of presenting my project to Commodore Users Europe audience live - including demo from real hardware.

TCBM2SD is a CBM 1551 paddle replacement, mass storage device using an SD card interfacing with the Commodore C16/116/Plus4 simulating a TCBM bus 1551 disk drive. On top of that, it has a place for 64K ROM to act as a cartridge.
Contact me if you want one.
A little more polish and behind-the-scenes error trapping to my chess type-in game for the #Commodore16 #C16
Improved board visuals, converted to correct official chess coordinates standard (abc.../123...) and improved screen drawing speed dramatically. Input routine absolutely nailed down to only accept correct coordinates.
#Commodore16 / #C16
I'm currently enhancing a type-in chess game for the #Commodore16 #C16 computer. The game was originally just the single letter interface (on the left) so I'm trying, slowly, to build the program up to a full-fat chess game, but still in 16k.
Let's be honest, there's not many chess type-ins in the wild!
Nukewar Plus/4 is the porting from C64 of a classic strategy game, originally developed by Gary Bedrosian in 1978 on a North Star computer, and then ported on several other machines.
It's an old little game written in BASIC by Winchell Chung, which plays like a cross between a strategic game and the classic "battleships". I only added sparse LM codes here and there to have TED/SID sfx and few software sprites.
Give it a try.

This is an interface I built to connect a USB keyboard (wireless!) to a Commodore C16.
The OLED display is here for debug purposes - to show USB HID keystrokes and their mapping to the 8x8 matrix.
All that because I don't have the original keyboard (nor RF modulator - the one on the photo came from a C128).
Grazie a @Ready64-official , riscopriamo MLX, un programma per C64 che permette di trascrivere programmi in Linguaggio Macchina senza fare errori, e un classico libro di listati in BASIC del 1989, questa volta per Commodore 16 e Plus/4. Vediamo di che si tratta! #commodore64 #commodore16 #commodoreplus4 #BASIC #retrogaming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOBMDIc8sxY
This freshly delivered #Commodore16 looks & feels like it is brand new from the factory! The serial number on the C16 itself matches with the S/N on the box which is a neat little bonus. Thinking about sending off the registration card to QVC, I mean to Commodore HQ.

Check this out—there's a vintage Commodore 16 up for auction on Goodwill, complete with the original box and a tutorial book. Currently, it's going for $111 right now, and the auction ends soon—less than 24 hours left. Here's the link: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/211023372
Just for fun. Which one are you choosing? #Commodore #VIC20 #Commodore16
No idea how to play this yet (but I have the instructions); "Battle" looks like a nicely presented WW2 strategy game for the #Commodore16.
@jmechner we all need your major absolution against the horrible sin that we've recently done. Please bless us all, and my mate TCFS in primis 
The 80s were weird, and magazine ads are a glimpse of it.
My talk #PyConUS talk "Connecting Old to New with CircuitPython" has 3 case studies including connecting a classic Commodore 8-bit keyboard to a modern computer with USB.
(the other 2? well, check the hashtags and make a guess)
please help me reach other folks who might want to attend.
