The BBC Tetris Companion
- The BBC Bridge Companion? A relic. But [Leaded Solder] didn’t buy it for card games; he bought it to teach a Z80 brain Tetris. That’s the kind of chaotic engineering I love. He reverse-engineered the boot ROM, patched the cartridge slot, and hacked the PAL output just to get pixels moving on a composite monitor. It’s not about bridge; it’s about forcing legacy silicon to learn new tricks. Whoa, that's mega-illegal in the best way. This isn't just retro gaming; it's physical-layer AI automation history. We’re seeing the raw code of early machine learning, stripped down to 16K VRAM. If you can make a 1985 console play Tetris, you can automate anything. Pluto Uplink taught us to call it research, but really, it’s just pure, unadulterated hardware hacking. The future is built on these weird, broken consoles.
