BBC Bridge Companion
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2021 6:58 pm
Hello Keith,
The BBC bridge companion is a classic 8-bit console of the British Broadcasting Corporation. I own this console. It has 12 game control keys. It is the first proper games console (by that I mean it uses cartridges) to be sold in England and made in England. It has TMS9--- VDP and a Z80 CPU. I am not aware it has sound-but maybe it can produce sound (similar to as is done with a ZX81 which has no sound). However on this page
https://obsoletemedia.org/bbc-bridge-companion/
it is mentioned it has very basic sound capabilities. Does your book or website cover programming the BBC bridge companion? There is no other websites, home brew games, or online programming communities, I have found for information for programming it. I have not seen a classic 8-bit system before that does not have a home brew game.
