Gary from OPA Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 (edited) Time to update our ti99 version. Flappy bird is back. Quote Flappy Bird®, the iconic mobile gaming classic enjoyed by more than 100 million people, officially returns after flying the coop more than a decade ago. Flappy Bird will return to a variety of platforms, including web browsers and new dedicated apps planned in 2025 for iOS and Android, with other platforms to be announced. Often imitated but never duplicated, Flappy Bird’s return is spearheaded by the Flappy Bird Foundation, a new team of passionate fans committed to sharing the game with the world. The Flappy Bird Foundation Group and affiliates have acquired the official Flappy Bird trademark rights from Gametech Holdings LLC, along with the rights for the original game and character Piou Piou vs. Cactus, the mobile title that has long been credited as originally inspiring the iconic bird. “It’s been a decade-long, convoluted journey to get here, but we’re so excited to finally begin sharing Flappy Bird once again with the world,” said a spokesperson for the Flappy Bird Foundation. Michael Roberts, the chief creative behind Flappy Bird’s return, added, “We are beyond excited to be bringing back Flappy Bird and delivering a fresh experience that will keep players engaged for years to come. We have big plans for our little Bird!” Kek, the developer of Piou Piou and founding team member, explained, “Today is a milestone not just in gaming but for me personally. It’s so cool to see how influential Piou Piou has been for developers and hundreds of millions of gamers over the years. It’s incredible to work alongside such a dedicated team of fans and creators who are truly passionate about changing the industry narrative and together bringing the original Flappy Bird back to life.” Planned future releases, including desktop and mobile web browser, and native app versions on iOS and Android are scheduled for 2025. The upcoming expanded Flappy Bird releases will debut new game modes, characters, progression, and massive multiplayer challenges for the world to flap together—with the Flappy Bird Foundation team set to revamp the game’s ecosystem while maintaining the familiarity of the game design that was enjoyed globally.

+OLD CS1 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 While setting up my replacement firewall, I figured out that by some quirk of how CenturyLink routes my static IP address, I actually have three (maybe four, I have not yet tested,) static IP addresses available for my use. This comes in extremely handy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Vorticon Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I recently purchased a C64 Maxi console to add to my A500 Mini one, and it struck me that no consideration was given by the manufacturer for the creation of a TI 99/4A modern replica given the massive user base back in the day. Such a replica would have, based on the company's other offerings, HDMI output, USB ports for joysticks and thumb drives, and possibly even hard drive and RAM expansion emulation options in firmware, all of which would immensely simplify the entry into the hobby at minimal cost and with modern reliability. Perhaps we should create a petition! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God help you if you need to get something into the north. I used to work for a US based company. The US tech centre FEDEXed a terminal to Yellowknife.

Gary from OPA Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 (edited) Sad to hear that presenter Chris Serle has passed away. Chris and Ian McNaught-Davis ( 'Mac' ) educated so many in the UK about computers in such an informative and fun way. They are both greatly missed.
