The BBC Micro turns 30

1980's, the beginning of my gaming experiences and also the re-birth of the home console market after the 1977 crash that saw only Atari and Magnavox survive!.

One of the worse home computers ever.

Using them in schools made no sense what so ever then. As they never became useful in later life, 30 years later.

I used them at school then had to retain using PC's years later. What a waste of time/money.

Nope. The acorn electron was the worse home computer ever.

Knushwood Butt5241d ago

I had an Acorn Electron!

To be fair, Elite was pretty amazing.

Mnemonic-DK5241d ago

Funny - When I saw the headline I immediately thought of Elite!

Man, I'm getting old!

forcefullpower5241d ago

Elite was awesome. Think i played chucky egg more than anything. lol

lol, indeed Elite came to my mind first as well.. and yes I am also, seemingly getting old! :/

@DJMarty To correct you it was one of the 'first' home computers, so what do you expect. Also there was no GUI / OS to speak of (MOS), you were effectively on command line so if you wanted it to do something you had to program it... not a bad thing for budding programmers back in the day!

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing13d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit13d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing13d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9213d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
