The ChinnyVision Podcast

Matt Lee is an open source Guru and runs Libre.FM. He also made a movie with a monkey in it (far fetched) that we don't mention. But back in the day he had an Amstrad CPC and had his first online experience on it. He also bought software in the utterly bonkers Trago Mills. Join us for a half hour chat.

Wayne Sloman grew up in Axminister, a town without a software shop. From the Mattel Aquarius to the Spectrum and later the Megadrive, we follow his computing journey in a world famous Devon town (it's where the carpets come from).

Tim Drew, often known as Sanxion, is a collector of computers and consoles and co-host of the Pixel Gaiden podcast. He was working at a computer shop before he left school and ended up not only in charge of ordering software from wholesalers but working for a distributor and running his own computer shop.

 

We talk about his computer ownership history, his collection and how he ended up being head hunted by two senior employees of Centresoft who were setting up their own distribution network.

Tracey began playing video games on an Atari 2600 found in a hedge. Via that unlikely start she also owned a Master System, Megadrive and used a turtle connected to a BBC Micro at school. She tells us about her experiences of working in a games shop owned by her uncle and all about Noisebox Radio.

 

Today she has a video game music show on Noisebox called Ready Player One which you can listen to here - https://www.mixcloud.com/NoiseboxRadio/playlists/ready-player-one/

Typhon (a.k.a Dave Moore) is a CPC coder who has decided to remake the terrible Amstrad CPC game, Mr Weems And The She Vampires. We talk to him about that and his computer journey that started in a small school in Northern Ireland.

 

 

What does compel someone to remake a bad game? What was the computing scene like in rural Northern Ireland in the 1980's? We find out all this and more!
