Tomáš Bartovský, author of the Czech version of Robot Karel, donated two vinyl records with usage instructions to our archive last year. After thorough digitization, which also involved Jan Heřman, we managed to extract several old programs from the records. A video was created about this digitization process.

Following the one for 8″ flopies, for 3,5″ floppies too we have made a cleaning mechanism in cooperation with Birdbrain. Compared to previous solutions, it provides capability for cleaning floppy disks from both sides.

Within our association, we've been working for 11 years to popularize and preserve both local and global game history. Our activities are principally nonprofit, and that's why in the long run, we're relying on the activities of volunteers, who contribute to the group's activities in their free time. And now's the time when you can join in too!

Recently, in collaboration with Birdbrain, we created a cleaning mechanism for 8″ floppy disks. You can also print the mechanism on your own 3D printer.

Some time ago, we received on loan for digitization the journals of the Prague Hi-Fi club from 1972-1997. Thanks to its focus on consumer electronics, it occasionally contains interesting observations about computing technology, and the club also played a small role in the prehistory of video games in Czechoslovakia.

We improved our game magazine database. The new database naturally has a better and clearer user interface, but most importantly, you can find in it links to magazine scans (both from us and from other sources).

We recently got our hands on a special piece of the IQ 151 computer, which doesn't have the classic keyboard made from telephone buttons, but features a beautiful mechanical keyboard. This IQ was borrowed by the Andrew Tesla channel, who made a video about this beauty.

PSM2 started publishing in Czechia in February 2002 by the same publisher as the Official PS Magazine and Score. The editor-in-chief was Jan Bludr Modrák, same as OPSM. The price was 99 CZK, but there was no demo disc included. Only 16 issues of PSM2 were published, the last one in May 2003. We digitized the entire magazine.

In 1997, the car manufacturer Škoda released a promotional CD-ROM that combined typical marketing materials with an interactive interface similar to point-and-click adventures. Learn more about this unique multimedia endeavor in this article.

We have received the opportunity to participate in the exhibition Disk nelze načíst (Disc Cannot Be Read) - an exhibition by the Vašulka Kitchen team focusing on the history of analog, (pre) digital technologies, media, and artistic experiments from around the early 1990s.
