Mistodon: If you prefer your repetitive memory fun with less symbolic baggage, here's another #teletext celebration of Milton-Bradley's #Simon game, invented by #RalphBaer and illustrated here by @andyuglifruit. This screen was also included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection.
Mistodon: artists and vintage computing enthusiasts are often posed with subsets of this problem, but when you compound both interests the conundrum can be amplified in magnitude. This #teletext open question was drawn by @atonalosprey and included in the new MIST1121 artpack collection.
Mistodon: it proved influential to the album art of Ghost's Opus Eponymous, but here's a #teletext adaptation by Uglifruit of the promotional artwork for the 1979 TV miniseries of Stephen King's 1975 novel #SalemsLot. This screen was included in the MIST1022 artpack collection released one year ago this month.
There's currently an advert on UK television for McDonald's featuring "fake" teletext. Of course I couldn't resist recreating it in "genuine" Level 2.5 #teletext
Level 2.5 #teletext features "side panels" adding up to 16 additional columns on one or both sides of the existing 40 column display.
Anything in the side panels is totally invisible to Level 1 decoders so they can only really be used for decorative purposes rather than content. Here they are used to extend the horizontal "scrollers" in this tribute to a 2000s shopping channel.
This time next week Chunky Fringe will be well under way at the Harrow Arts Centre.
The event has its own #teletext service, called ChunkyText and YOU can upload pages to it.
Just point your browser at https://blockparty.zxnet.co.uk/editor to create a page and upload it direct to chunkytext.
You can view ChunkyText online at https://zxnet.co.uk/teletext/viewer/?c=3&p=100 or come to Harrow Arts next Saturday to get hands on with vintage teletext decoders and proper CRT tellies (and much more). 👉📺
