Kristoffer Lawson<p>An interesting thought exercise, it’s 1983 and you should launch a new computer for the mass market next year: what would you do?</p><p>I’m thinking back to the failure of the <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/Sinclair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sinclair</span></a> <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/QL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QL</span></a>. &gt;50% of that was, in my view, a marketing and sales strategy error, but what of the hardware? What would you change but keeping the price in the same ballpark?</p><p>What other type of home computer would you launch (given knowledge you have today)? What would be exciting and bring buyers? What innovation was missed?</p>

andabata<p>Back on the spectrum. (Ha! Not that I have a choice). Got recap kits, powermod kits, and a diagnostic cartridge from <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retroleum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retroleum</span></a>. One done, 4 to go. This one was a bit of a fight. Fighting my desoldering iron. Fighting myself making stupid mistakes.

@haitchfive<p>Earlier I posted a little tale about the 18 months of existence of Imagine Software, and Bandersnatch, one of the impossible pieces of expensive software that never came to fruition (which has since become the inspiration for one of the TV series under the Black Mirror brand).</p><p>I knew that some of the ZX Spectrum code had ended up as part of the game Gift of the Gods, which was ultimately published by a different company who hired a surviving former Imagine Software team.</p><p>But I didn't know this other part of the story on how another part of the original Banderstnatch code ended up becoming part of the Amiga game Brattacas.</p><p>It makes sense now, because the Sinclair QL featured an earlier version of the Motorola 68000, so the port from the QL to the Amiga must have been relatively straightforward.</p><p>Says Wikipedia:<br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brataccas" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brataccas</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><blockquote><blockquote><p>In October 1984, Sinclair Research paid a rumoured £100,000 for the rights to Bandersnatch and contracted Fire Iron, a new company set up by Hetherington and Lawson, to produce the game for the Sinclair QL[6] for release in early 1985.[10][11][12] Sinclair withdrew funding in 1985 when the QL version never appeared, and the directors then formed Psygnosis, with their first title Brataccas introduced at the 1985 Personal Computer World show.[13][14] It featured many of the concepts originally intended for Bandersnatch, and was released on the Atari ST, Amiga, and Macintosh[15] in January 1986.[2]</p></blockquote></blockquote><p>Look at those graphics!
