Hello, this request, kindly accepted by Stephen, is for a stand telling the story of video games from the 70s to the mid-90s. Stand of 20 machines; almost all Amstrad including 10 GX4000 and 4 Amstrad PLUS.
The stand should be ready for a pop culture convention which will take place in November 2026 in France ; I am one of the organizers.
I admit that I am surprised to see people asking for a classic pong game without color, I was already afraid of criticism because it did not fully exploit the console, ha ha.
It's a real creative exercise. I'm working on the level design of a Space Invaders game, witch my friend Viny-Kun, again for my booth.

Quote from: Prodatron on 13:11, 17 September 25"Kernal"That's not likely from the C64, more by accident. Serbian tries to convert the spelling of foreign words to their own. So they like to write it exactly how it is pronounced (like in "hakerski" with a "k" instead of a "ck"). It's likely that the first contact with the word "kernel" was through the C64, but once the spelling was established they stuck to it, not because they liked the C64 so much, more to remain consistent. But there could be other reasons for this.
Take the word "digitajzer" on the page for example. The correct pronunciation for the word in Serbian would be "didžitajzer". It seems that the first contact with this word happened through people who just happened to pronounce the letter it wrongly as "g" like in good.
Croatian doesn't do this however, so foreign words are written just like in their original language, which presents them with other problems like how should they handle languages with other scripts. Besides, if the person reading this word in Croatian has no clue about the other language's orthography and pronunciation system, they would not know how to pronounce it.

Seems they were quite Commodore fans, as they also used the originally misspelled term "Kernal" for the CPC's internal operating system.

Unfortunately, I don't know. I started buying those much later when Amstrad was already out of the picture.

It would be nice to also be able to play regular Pong (not sure if already implemented).

If you bought this magazine, maybe you know which issue had something about Amstrads.

Trust Google translate to spout bullshit.
The magazine is in Serbian. There are little differences between these "dialects" as I'd call it (but that would put us on the slippery slope of politics on the Balkans), and all of them can understand each other easily. People usually avoid stating the language by calling it "naš", our (language). And I can usually buy magazines from every part in the other parts of former Yugoslavia.
Anyway, on the title "mesečno" would be written (and pronounced) "mjesečno" in Bosnia and Croatia. In Croatia you'd say "računalo", plural "računala", in Serbia it is "računar", plural "računari". The latter is the title of the magazine.
They livened up the pages of a dry computer magazine in this way in a typical Slavic manner, I'd say.
BTW, "Amstradov" means "of the Amstrad" or closer to the original adjective "Amstradian".
