Artificial intelligence may seem like the last thing you’d associate with an 8-bit computer, yet it’s rapidly becoming one of the most exciting trends in the retrocomputing community. AI is proving to be an invaluable ally, helping enthusiasts write code, understand vintage hardware, recover damaged program listings, and even explore programming languages..

L’intelligenza artificiale può sembrare l’ultima cosa che si associerebbe a un computer a 8 bit, eppure sta diventando rapidamente una delle tendenze più entusiasmanti nella comunità del retrocomputing. L’IA si sta rivelando un preziosissimo alleato, aiutando appassionati a scrivere codice, comprendere l’hardware d’epoca, recuperare listati di programma danneggiati e persino esplorare linguaggi di programmazione in gran parte dimenticati da decenni (vi ricordate Super Turtle Pilot del numero scorso?).

Retrocomputing, as you well know, has never been merely a nostalgic look back. It’s a journey that brings us unexpected discoveries every day, as if time, instead of flowing in a straight line, were coiling back on itself, leaving a new treasure around every corner. And just when we think we’ve seen it all…

…Con il retrocomputing non si sbaglia mai perché lo scavo archeologico non finisce: c’è sempre qualcosa da recuperare, e la sorpresa è parte del gioco.
Ma la vera svolta degli ultimi anni è un’altra. Mentre fuori si discute se i giochi di oggi siano “migliori” o “peggiori” di quelli di trent’anni fa, dentro la nostra nicchia succede qualcosa di meraviglioso…

We are living in an extraordinary time for those who love retrocomputing. An era that, just a few years ago, would have seemed impossible to imagine. Thanks to modern technology, today we can rediscover and fully experience the machines of the 80s and 90s…
RetroMagazine World n° 52 – Febbraio 2026
Viviamo un momento straordinario per chi ama il retrocomputing. Un’epoca che, solo qualche anno fa, sarebbe sembrata impossibile da immaginare. Grazie alla tecnologia moderna, oggi possiamo riscoprire e vivere pienamente le macchine degli anni ’80 e ’90: non solo attraverso l’hardware originale, ma anche grazie a emulatori software e hardware sempre più fedeli, precisi e rispettosi dello spirito delle piattaforme storiche…

“Why retrocomputing is more relevant than ever!”
I’m inspired by a couple of discussions I’ve had recently. In an age where artificial intelligence reigns supreme and our data is stored “who knows where” in the cloud, there is a growing paradox: the fascination with computers of the past. We have talked about the nostalgia effect ad nauseam, but personally I don’t think that’s all there is to it. That would be reductive. So I asked myself a couple of questions and tried to answer them…

And finally we made it… Fifty issues!
Fifty issues is a lot… It seems like yesterday that, on a rainy weekend in October, I was alone in my little apartment in Amsterdam writing the first issue of RetroMagazine. It started as a bit of fun, but it was fueled by a great passion and the love I immediately received from so many people who quickly became friends. I said it seems like yesterday, but eight years have already passed!

It’s just after 11:30 p.m. Tomorrow I have to wake up early for a work commitment that has been scheduled for some time. I’m already in bed, but after a stressful day spent in front of the computer, sleep is slow in coming. In fact, it just doesn’t want to come at all. In the dim light of a lamp, the room seems to take on a dark amber color. With an almost automatic gesture, I reach for my tablet on the bedside table and open the app that accesses my home NAS, part of which is dedicated to the nostalgic world of retrocomputing…
