Retrochallenge – Summer 2012
This year’s Retrochallenge will soon be upon us, running for the entire month of July there’s still time to sign up and participate. Head over to the Retrochallenge Website and register your interest.

Epson PX-8 Brochure
In my previous blog entry I posted some scans of some promotional literature for the PX-8 and it occurred to me that I’m now in possession of the all the hardware shown in the image opposite. I thought therefore it might be interesting to try to recreate the shot.
Other options are to create another instalment for my Silent Running text adventure created with Inform.
Retroscan – Epson PX8 Geneva Brochure
Finally I have an Epson CX21 acoustic coupler in my collection, more on that later. Acquiring it required the purchase of another Epson HX20 with which it was listed on Ebay. Also included when the parcel arrived was this rather nice brochure for the Epson PX8 which I’ve scanned in and provide images of below.
