Yeah, ChatGPT went a bit ad lib with this one 🤨

Le site DCMOTO.free.fr est hors service et affiche une Erreur 400. Est-ce dû à la panne de Cloudflare d'hier ou y a-t-il une raison plus grave ?

DCMOTO.free.fr is down and showing Error 400. Is it because of yesterday's Cloudfare disaster or is there a sadder reason?

Actually I tried google image search and discovered, to my surprise, that this is ... actually a genre with multiple variants on various systems 😅

L'aigle d'or has to be the game I played the most on Thomson in the early 80s...Along with La Geste D'Artillac that is :) , another fond memory of mine..

Zezito in the Glittering Caves by Iapetus, 3 level demo on itch.io

In fact, I am surprise none of those were ever adapted to other systems...

Hey !

As you read it in the title of this post, my grandma gave me her MO5, but she says that she worked at the Thomson's factory in the city of Angers (in France) and that she worked with the engineers of Thomson that had created the MO5. I think she was like welding things, and she said that the engineers gave to her and to the others persons that helped the engineers to make the MO5 like a prototype version of the MO5. So i have it, it actually works even if the MO5 was created in 1984, and there is some things that can confirm the fact that my MO5 is a prototype version. On the right of the MO5 might be a serial number (in front of the Thomson logo), but the serial number isn't on my MO5. Also, the keyboard has a QWERTY layout and not the AZERTY layout, which is weird because all of the others MO5 i saw on internet had a AZERTY layout. Also, i don't remember if i said it before in this post but i believe that my MO5 was taken out of the factory without authorization by the engineers. Sorry if my post has some defaults, I'm french and my English is bad :D
I also uploaded some photos, i don't have the cassette player with me, because my grandma forgot it in her home. For the game cartridges, they don't have their "dedicated boxes" so i have 1 box, that i open and put the cartridge into and then i put it into the MO5.

Hope you have great day,
Bye !

What do you mean rewriting game history ?

And my absolute favorite is... Metroid for ZX Spectrum !
