It's not #nostalgia, if you never stopped using it.
For me, it really is one big continuum.
Here’s some #arcadeGame #nostalgia for you. In 1978, Kasco, a Japanese arcade game maker, released “The Driver”, a driving game where the player is required to make inputs into a steering wheel to “drive” a car on screen to chase a red car.
But instead of a player-controlled car, the game uses a loop of 16 mm film, containing live-recorded footage. At the bottom of the frame, hidden from the player, is a white/black bar that represents the optimal steering input for that moment in the film. If the player deviates too much from the prescribed input for too long, the game is over.
This is a 4K scan of that film. While it’s obviously sped up, there is some really cool stunt driving going on!

On the day the #Maxell blank #cassettes arrived I tried to see if if the new-to-me #Pioneer CT-300 #cassette player from the #80s still records fine.
It's going to need some work. The seller sadly somewhat "oversold" its working condition. Fortunately it's fairly easy to find replacement belts, I just need to wait a bit.
I like how this photo came out though

Following my previous post, here's a second recording of an army game demo tune by our former #Amiga game team's musician Ramon Braumuller.
In the previous recording, the drums have an unintended reverb effect. In this version, the drums are correct, but there's a short glitch at 6 seconds.

While sifting through boxes with old clutter in the garage I found an old Quelle mail-order catalogue from 1991 which has miraculously survived. Now it deserves a special place in the bookshelf!
