Re: Mechanical keyboard recommendations

I have both the black and white WASD X16 keyboards (not sure why they wouldn't have the white one's available anymore?).

I see WASD only seem to have the black case with black keys option available now, and when I queried them on the white variant, I didn'...

Re: Any BBS recommendations?

Thanks very much. Definitely a good starting point.

I can remember watching ASCII Star Wars on an ADM terminal back in the late 80s or early 90s :-)

Any BBS recommendations?

Looking at the Telnet BBS Guide web site, there are a lot to choose from.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have no idea where to start :lol:

Thanks

Re: Bug in X16MAZE game

Ah, I must have the same dodgy aftermarket controllers (that I bought because they were grey and purple and would sort of match the official case). When I use the CONTEST.PRG program that came on the SD card, I can see that it thinks the Select key is permanently on. Oh well. A-shopping I will go ag...
