Yesterday was mostly spent playing about with a bunch of old emulated videogames using Retro Virtual Machine.

Aaah, emulators. Gotta love 'em.
I found out, yesterday, that Retro Virtual Machine got a nice update, to v2.1, and can now handle MSX-1, Colecovision, SG-1000 and Master System ..systems.
Not that that matters much, when all I really use it for is playing Manic Miner, but still. Nice new upgrade!

It also now includes Amstrad CPC Plus and GX-4000 systems, so .. Time for some Pang, I guess!

You can Grab Retro Virtual Machine here, for Windows, Mac or Linux. Though it's built from the ground up for Apple Silicon, so might work better on those. I've no idea how well it works on Win/Lin.

After installing the update, I started to shuffle a few files around in my Emulation folders, and discovered that there's a few programs I'm missing on the Amstrad side of things.
I remember having an old Drumkit program on there, back in the day, but no matter how much I trawled through the emulated disks, I just couldn't find the one I originally had.

Odd.
So that sent me on an odd spiral through the webs, hunting for packs of Amstrad downloads, but nothing seemed to pad out my TOSEC collection any more than it already was.
Curious.

I'll have to keep hunting and see if I can find "just" the right drum kit, somewhere. Honestly, it's not about the drum kit, though. More the fact that, if that's missing, what else might be!? *gasp*

This was the closest result, too.
