I strongly urge you to dig out your old Oric and get Blakes7 running on it, you won't believe how great it is .. these machines still get a lot of love, so I hope I'll see you out there on oric.org and/or forums.defence-force.org if you get the druthers .. Cheers and happy hacking!
- memsom 9y agoI had an Oric Atmos at one point. I got it in the late 80's as I always loved the look of the Oric computers and (ahead of my time) collected retro computers at that point. I sold it sometime in the Noughties, but I keep thinking to get another one.
- mmjaa 9y agoThey're delightfully interesting machines, in that they really didn't get the chance to shine back in the day .. but now we have emulators and disk drives, and all kinds of weird and wonderful stuff. The guys at Defence Force are making a dual-Oric: two Orics' chained together to combine graphics and audio capabilities .. if you get the druthers, follow the progress here: http://forum.defence-force.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1771 http://forum.defence-force.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1771 (tl;dr, two Orics are wired up, they're gonna work in sync to build a hi-res image .. yay!)
