Films by machine

Each machine's films, newest first. A film can be under more than one.

• ZX Spectrum

  5 films

  Sinclair's 1982 home computer: the ULA that made it cheap, the ROM that ran it, the tricks programmers found in both, and the clones and later models that followed.

  

• BBC Micro

  1 film

  Acorn's computer for the BBC's computer literacy project, and the games that squeezed the most out of its 32K.

  

• Atari 2600

  1 film

  A console with no frame buffer, where every game drew the picture one line at a time, racing the television's beam.

  

• NES and Famicom

  1 film

  Nintendo's console, and the extra chips inside its cartridges that let later games do far more than the console alone.

  

• MOS 6502

  2 films

  The cheap processor inside the Apple II, the BBC Micro, the Commodore 64 and the NES, down to its transistors.
