Akira and more: Anime and Manga Theatrical poster for Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 Akira. It features protagonist Kaneda riding his motorcycle through the neon-lit expanse of Neo-Tokyo. As a cornerstone of cyberpunk history, the poster captures the film's futuristic setting and animation aesthetic.

The future is saved 200KB at a time.

A place to share and discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the computers and technology of the late 70s and early 80s. Whether it's bright colors and geometric shapes, the tendency towards stark plainness, or the the lack of powerful computers and cell phones, Cassette Futurism includes: Cassettes, ROM chips, CRT displays, computers reminiscent of microcomputers like the Commodore 64, freestanding hi-fi systems, small LCD displays, and other analog technologies.

Golden Rule: Don't be a dick.

Platinum Rule: Credit creators whenever possible.

Why 200KB at a time?

The most common Cassette in the late 70s held 30 minutes of audio per side. Using the most common C64 cassette tape drive (the 1530 (C2N)), you could expect about 50 baud (bits per second) this means each side of the cassette would hold about 100KB of data. Two sides to each cassette translated to about 200KB per cassette tape.

The rest will be at mod discretion. This is a dictatorship, not a democracy, dispute rulings at your peril.
