Wooyay!
Haven't seen that for years!

reminds me of that TV programme with that maths bloke with the curly hair and the weird nose that was on BBC for schools.

Anyone remember that?

***NEWSFLASH***
I think it was Fred Harris who presented "The Computer Programme"

That took some doing.

Now how cool
was that game. Wasnt the same when it was released in solid vector rendering.

Well...
a quick search of The TV Ark didn't find anything, but i did find this (save as clicky - 800k, modem fans!) (which I thought was rather quaint, and therefore made the journey not a completely wasted one)

even I recognised that cheeky little fucker.
They were crap PCs even then, though.

BBC B risc home PC ?

The BBC wasn't a RISC machine
Although its successor, the Archimedes, most definately was (and Acorn won a law suit against Apple to prove it).

my mistake...
a friend had both to play on as his dad worked in resarch for BT. Even had a robotic arm attached to it!
(Tesla, Mon 20 Jan 2003, 20:57, archived)

it was a Z80 based
processor, wasn't it?

edit - no, it was a 6502 i think.. i was thinking of the spectrum...


(albatross! aka Rameses Niblick III Kerplunk kerplunk - whoops, where's my thribble?, Mon 20 Jan 2003, 20:56, archived)

no, 6502, I think

( Slim is an infrequent visitor these days, Mon 20 Jan 2003, 20:59, archived)

I'm not certain it was
the Apple ][ was definitely a 6502, but I can't remember for sure about the BBC.

edit: nope, you're right. 'Twas indeed a 6502.
( bob dinosaur, Mon 20 Jan 2003, 21:01, archived)

The Zilog chip
could be used as a co-processor so I reckons the 6502
( fuzzbucket, Mon 20 Jan 2003, 21:04, archived)

never heard of
a bbc with a coprocessor before!
