What would a 3D shooter be without power-ups, grenades and cluster bombs, self-homing missiles, telekinesis and levitation. And just lots of sheer destruction. #psion #psion5mx

My dude! This is winning at Psionning. #Psion #Ericsson

What do you mean we can’t do 3D shooters on a Psion?

Ok here’s a better recording of the Tanks game in emulator this time with backlight on

Here’s what the Tanks game looks like running on a Series 5 emulator. It’s a fun one for sure! 🕹️

I love every video Janus Cycle makes, he's poignant with his takes, he explains with a cadence that soothes my brain and the gadgets are always incredible thanks to their legacy and evolution given hindsight. Here's the #Psion 5.

Interesting claim - #PSION #EPOC / #Symbian, #Sinclair #QDOS, and the proposed "Stella" have a common ancestor in the form of Tony Tebby.

"While there are strong assumptions that EPOC is a derivative of the system programmer's ideas who now proposes the Stella operating system, it shows its 15 […]

This all runs off a #Psion Organizer II, from 1986! The company behind it (Flightmaster) sold the system as a package consisting of the Psion itself, and a subscription service. New 128K packs were sent out containing compressed data from NOAA and the FAA.

I love Psions :-) Am just back from a genomics and biomedical science conference in which I took all my notes on a Psion 5mx. Fair to say people were intrigued. The #Psion Agenda app is brilliant - sadly doesn't sync with work Outlook (which is terrible like all Microsoft Office 365).

Still sexy. My spicy take: use-cases, inventiveness and workflow are more important than mere tech advancements, and if you have those right, you can get more value from a >30 year old machine than many people can from a fancy modern phone. #Psion
