Re: OASIS development

Symoon, I think the excitement, for me .. the anticipation .. of this game comes from the artistry in the story and staging of .. simplistic .. elements, in order to create a titular fiction. I enjoy the anachronistic experience of seeing a new Oric title which is polished at the pixel level, which ...

Re: OASIS development

:applause: :)

I like the idea of the minimalist palette .. I'm guessing that this will be used to dramatic effect later in the stages of the game, as you can introduce color for various surprises and thing ..

Re: Silly Survey...just for fun.

Wow, some really amazing ideas here .. One "out there" idea I had, was the idea of putting an array of Oric's into an FPGA and wiring them up somehow with networking - but still they are regular old, well-synthesized Oric's, i.e. emulations of our original hardware, warts and all, albeit ....

Re: Homebrew ORIC computer ??

I'm loving all of these ideas .. only thing is I hope MIDI will work in the mix, somehow. Always a bit bummed about that on the Telestrat .. could've given Atari a run for the money ..

Re: Powered scart lead for Oric RGB to Scart TV required

I forgot to update this thread: I got it working by setting "OVR"-mode on the display first, turning on the Oric. Works great .. and I have to say, is a very crisp display for the humble machine.

Re: personal computer world review April 1983

I remember reading this very issue, had it in my hands for months before Oric-1 finally arrived in Australia .. very exciting times. Hope we can find it and get it scanned somehow ..

Nice article on developing for the C64

Re: OASIS very very early alpha tech demo

Looks amazing .. although I was never a huge fan of these kind of point 'n click adventures, I'm sure looking forward to playing what you come up with on the Oric! Amazing times ..
