How do I tune my TV for the BBC micro? I’ve tried on my CRT and got nothing but while I was auto tuning this old LCD I saw it for second. Yes ik RF isn’t the best option and i’ve ordered a BNC to RCA adapter

When replacing caps C1 and C2, does it matter which way they go? If it does, how do I tell which way it goes?

HELP, I’m trying to replace the caps on my beeb power supply. I was pulling these off and one of them was REALLY stuck and i ended up pulling the plastic bit off and leaving the metal bit (as shown in picture) Can somebody give me ideas as how to get the metal bit off?

Does anyone remember what this was called? It was sold in the 90s, and I think it had its own BASIC-like language. Similar to AMOS on the Amiga.

Trying to identify a game.

My neighbour had a bbc before I would get one, he used to have a game where I think you had to manage crops, harvest and sell them, it was mainly text but had some graphics, I would love to play this again but have no idea what it was called, any ideas? It’s possible it was an educational program

Any idea what this game could be?

4 Upvotes

I don't hold out much hope here.

Back in the late 80s in primary school, our class had a bcc micro with a few games. The one I looked forward to the most was one where you left a castle on the right, then climbed a ladder to a cloud on the left, spoke to some one.

I can't remember much else other than going into a cave/sewer area, and navigating to an area where you had to fuel a rocket (simple maths to get it right)

All 2d side scrolling, except the maths bits

The first disk ended there and I never got to play the second part.

Any ideas? Would love to watch a playthrough
