The topics vintage computing and vintage gaming are of course intertwined. 
First gaming is a part of the whole digitalisation. But before computer were in every household the consoles were there. The first funny digitalisation and alternative to the non existing tv-program (share the screen). And then the homecomputer in the private areas came ‘home’.  So games became again software in the area of computing. 
And so on … 
Vintage Gaming
2023-06-11 09:07:51
https://vintagecomputing.ch/?browseid=113
Of course in games and amusement arcades there is a lot of computing (calculating points, statemachines and co). All started with organs (punch strips) and electromechanical ‘games’ like pinballs.

Vintage, Retro. It is a quite complex situation.
  • We have people, who worked (appropriation) in those days >1960 with Computers 
  • We have people, who are working today with old hard-, software and games (Shared memories). 
  • We have people, who work today with old hard-, software and games from scratch (emulation included).
  • We have people, who create today with old hardware new software and games. 
  • We have people, who create today hard-, software, pictures, films and games in the style of yesterday.
  • We have people, who are working with fantasy computers & consoles today. 
Demake Culture
2022-07-27 22:16:15
https://vintagecomputing.ch/?browseid=421
Demake is a ‘downsized’ game - a game developed for a ‘better platform’ (techincal) and was than recoded for an older vintage system. 
Actual Demoscene
2023-02-11 14:57:40
https://vintagecomputing.ch/?browseid=119
The demoscene was first a spin-off the crackers and became an own culture with festivals, ‘jams’ and contests. Often there are old computers embeded. 
https://vintagecomputing.ch/?browseid=2059
there are two aspects came together in the universal computer. 
1. computing (sorting)
2. control (cases, if then, input)
before this were seperated functions in analoge maschines.
https://vintagecomputing.ch/?browseid=3798
There are wholes, empty places wher people can bring theor own stuff, own memories to titled space.

This is a start to collect data from vintage computing in Switzerland. It is a bottom up approach to collect and organize data. It is also a research for how to collect and store data. 
The data/information can be stored as nodes. The nodes can be as a tree (hierachy) and/or rhizome. 
This data is open for everyone who wants to also add his/her/its own data. Just create content. We will than try to bring it in an order.

Das Vintage Computer Festival Zürich #21 fand am 27./28.November 2021 in Zürich statt mit 19 Ausstellerinnen und 250 Besucherinnen. Wir bedanken uns bei allen Teilnehmerinnen und freuen uns auf die kommende Ausgabe im Spätherbst 2022.

Pinballs & Computing

https://vintagecomputing.ch/?browseid=260
Pinballs are really computing hells. 
https://vintagecomputing.ch/?browseid=276
Where people met, talked about computers, learnt about computers. Played games, designed games.
Yes also pirate software and games was part of this world. 
Historical Culture

Culture towards technology changed massively in the last 50 years.

vintagecomputing is an open platform for people, who are interesting in the different aspects of vintagecomputing and gaming in switzerland. You can just create an account and enter data, make propositions and enter data. 
Fantasy-Computers
2022-04-17 22:36:48
https://vintagecomputing.ch/?browseid=638
Fantasy computers are computer that are ‘inspired’ by real computers. Means their name sound like ZX81 > Tic80 but of course they are fast, programmable with lua and in the most of the cases have all integrated: spriteeditor, tile/background-editor, soundeffects editor and music editor. So they are really the dream of an 8bit-coder* with assembler, low memory, low graphics, no tools.

Games made with old technologies but not old working hardware.

Datastructure

Idea: 
Aspects like:
  • Seethings
  • Contacts
  • pictures
  • Videos
  • Areas
  • Team
Example:
  • ASPECT: Team 
  • - [coding] XYZ
  • - [graphician] XYZ   
 
  • ASPECT: Photos
  • - [photos:dev] yxcyxcv
  • - [photos:team] sadf 
Grouping
2022-07-02 08:49:18
https://vintagecomputing.ch/?browseid=4212
How people connect each other. Which places were important and why? Which media was important and why? Most of this places (Clubs, Supermarkets,  Arcades/Spielsalon, Computershops).
What happened with people from the country side? 
Capitals (Bourdieu)
2023-05-06 14:00:42
https://vintagecomputing.ch/?browseid=8741
communities (as systems) have their own language, their own values (and thus also their own capitals), their own operations, their own exensions, their own decision extensions.

Listing Cultures
2023-02-10 08:58:30
https://vintagecomputing.ch/?browseid=801
The listing culture is a hybrid between gutenberg galaxis and software. Software was often distributed in the mainframe time as source code ( c ). each system had a different set of hardware, processor. c and co were the platform. You could compile it for your system. 

The listing culture brought source code to the magazines and could be published. first with basic and co for homecomputers, later with checksums, than basic with assembler inlines, than only shortcodes. 
of course by typing in you could learn how to code and solve problems.

Port
2022-08-02 13:41:25
https://vintagecomputing.ch/?browseid=4943
A port is game that was ‘ported’ to another system. A lot of arcades were ported for example to less powerfull hardware. 
Therefore the question is: Are not all of games Demakes?
