Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Here are some pictures of the software index. It shows almost everything available for both C64 and Apple II, with some also available in French. 110
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Hey @gamesthatwerent.com I have a few C64 educational titles by Grolier/Mindflight that I’ve managed to transfer to D64 files, including Miss Mouse. I thought you might be interested! There are 15 titles altogether, although I don’t know how many are already preserved. Cheers! 230
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 16/07/2026You’ve been murdered. Who do you want on the case? 000
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I was pretty sure this was only supposed to go up to ten. #wildfires 110
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Right, fuck off. That’s enough of that shit, thanks. 010
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Hahahahahahahahahahaha! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hahahahahahahahahahaha! 371
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 16/06/2026What the BBC actually means here is “It’s England vs Croatia tomorrow and we are so fucked.” 120
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 15/04/2026My cat says hi. And that he understands your cat’s infernal torments. Currently all he wants is to climb over the iPad into his stupid human’s lap, and he is becoming thoroughly annoyed by his stupid human’s attempts to rebuff him. 140
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Snowing again. All you UK fuckers with your “Ooh, look at the buds and the leaves and the daffodils and the blossom and the returning migrating birds” can fuck right off as far as I’m concerned. This is absolute bullshit. 220
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Blimey, Shaun Ryder has let himself go… 051
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 14/02/2026“Seamlessly”, eh, Apple Music? You’ve just played the first twenty seconds of No More Heroes by The Stranglers over the last twenty seconds of Lovestruck by Madness and no, it wasn’t fucking “seamless” Get to fucking fuck. And piss right off with enabling it by default after the last iOS update. 110
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 27/01/2026Four fictional characters who would definitely defect to reform. 010

Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 14/11/2025Guys, your qualifying group is the *literal embodiment* of that McGlashan sketch from Absolutely. “And here’s England’s group! England! Lapland! Melchester Rovers! Me and my Mum!” 050
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 13/11/2025Very pretty display of the aurora last night… 030
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Looking a bit rough these days, but I still have my Y-2 Prince Henry Vauxhall in the box. My one is dated 1973 though, so an earlier production run. 000
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 19/07/2025Right… Now to explain things to my wife. 120
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 15/07/2025Good to see that the live scores section of the BBC Sports app is behaving totally normally… 010
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 07/07/2025I just finished Dick Tracy on the Speccy so you don’t have to. The game is so bad that when you beat it, it literally stops working and you have to reset your Speccy. Obviously the programmer knew perfectly well the utter shite they were spewing out. Titus, eh? 3121
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 05/07/2025I’m chasing a hearse in this level apparently. Chase HQ is terrible, but I’m going to give it 73% because I’m terrified Ocean will pull their advertising from the mag if I give it a crap score. 250
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 05/07/2025The graphics are atrocious. Honestly, why couldn’t they just use most of the assets from the original game? Your car sprite looks like a bourbon biscuit, and the other cars are made up of about seven pixels each. And HOLY SHIT the music! 040
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 05/07/2025I don’t believe I’ve ever really given this one a serious go before. Let’s see what it’s really like… 020
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Er, so are they recommending that I vacuum-seal my cat? Also, wasn’t Rodster Del Boy’s brother? 020
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Good grief. The people who programmed this game clearly had no actual idea how football works. I don’t think they had any idea how computer games work either, to be honest. 040
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 17/05/2025Retro Friends! Remember, we may all be getting alarmingly old and decrepit, but just look at what you can do with your ever-expanding collection of old prescription bottles! 020
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 16/04/2025Anyone care to guess which little fat bastard managed to sneak downstairs and eat half the dog’s food when no one was looking? 120
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 13/04/2025Why do I do this to myself? I managed to get to level 4. It doesn’t get any better. 020
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 09/03/2025Okay, the current setup has more leads than Crufts, but at least it works! 030
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 29/12/2024Well now, the mystery deepens further. Looks like I may have an elementary school pack of this Grolier/Mindflight software. The index at the back shows a TON more titles that I don’t have in my binder. Many of these seem to be programs aimed at high school kids. 010
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 29/12/2024I have NEVER tried to load these up (in fact, I’ve barely taken more than one or two disks out of the binder). There are 15 disks in total, and either my internet searching is rubbish or there’s basically no information online about these at all. 010
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 29/12/2024Okay retro computing folks. I picked this up years ago and have never had any success in finding info about it. Grolier/Mindflight software for the C64. Unmarked binder, complete with manual and disks. Only info I can find online is for Apple II, but these are C64 versions. 120
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 26/12/2024Shelves are built! This is the initial setup right now after I basically threw stuff into available spaces to see how things look. I’m sure this will change about a hundred times before I’m finally happy. 020
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Coleco Gemini update! The broken Gemini is still broken. The *working* Gemini that I was using to try to figure out what was wrong with the broken one is, er, now also broken. May have to give up retro gaming in favour of something a little less stressful. Like ultra marathons. 010
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 16/11/2024The worst thing is, this isn’t even all of them… 110
Malc Seventyfour @malcseventyfour.bsky.social · 16/11/2024My situation is now so bad that I’ve LITERALLY ASKED MY WIFE TO BUY ME SHELVES FOR CHRISTMAS. 130
