Arctic retro | Agon Light Origins edition - A new, very fast, 8bit computer built with modern parts - New revision @Arcticretro | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
A modern 8-bit computer in 2023? Is it good and what can it be used for ? Long review.
PCBWay pcbway.com/setinvite.aspx?inviteid=481573 - great quality PCBs from just $5!

The Byte Attic just released a new version of the Agon Light 8-bit computer and sent me one for review. This is a great little computer with very impressive architecture and specs. The community around this computer is now growing and a lot of progress made.

In this video I do a review of the computer, the software and games it can run, and how to program it to interface with other electronics via it's GPIO ports.

Thanks to Bernardo for sending me this :)
