Today’s vintage tech deals with a computer system I grew up with, the Amstrad CPC family of machines. It’s always unusual doing the research for vintage tech articles, as the online sources can often be a little flaky (yes, I’m looking at you, Wikipedia), so it was rather nice to work on something where I already had a considerable quantity of knowledge upfront. As an added bonus, there’s even a video review of a classic Amstrad game awaiting you, albeit not a review I’ve contributed to. Quite why I haven’t contributed to it should become clear very quickly indeed.
