They remind me of the BBC micro. We had a few of those at our first school, I thought we were in the future.
That game is hard as hell and unfair but I love it. This is a great example of one of my favorite parts of the machine, the ability to effectively choose soundtrack based on which sound module you select. Of course, like everything else with the X68000, there's a huge cost involved in doing so.They really are. One day, I'll own a Sharp X68000.
The X68000 was notable because it had a lot of the same or very similar hardware as many arcade machines of the time, so it received a lot of amazing ports of arcade games. It also got one of the best Castlevania games! (CV Chronicles)

The Sharp X1 in red is a thing of beauty.

I think we can blame beige IBM clones of the 80s and 90s for sweeping away great industrial design in computing, long before the rise of the PC gamer and their glowing green bullshit.
RGB lighting is the equivalent of having a golden toilet, like the orange oompla loompa president.RGB lighting is literally the opposite of the dark times. It's the blindingly bright times.
Some enthusiasts (aka old, office-imprisoned Japanese micro-computer geeks) have been selling replica X68k cases designed for modern PC cabling. You can refurbish X68k shells to house lower-end computers with enough work, and that's likely how they're doing it unless they're 3D-printing the shells.I really want a X68000. Hell. I'd take a normal pc case in the same style
Life is not a played out meme.Why did we get this shitty future instead of the Cyberpunk future I always wanted?
