I just couldn’t do it anymore.

@breadbin @jonnypencils @gpowerf @fratm It wouldn't take me more than a week or two to get it fab-ready, using modern Cherry switches, and a little eight-pin MCU and LED to handle the shift lock. Can't do it this month, but I could probably add it to the queue, I have a C128 that needs a new keyboard anyway. The real problem is keycaps -- it's difficult to get custom keycaps printed in small quantities.

Lemmings was one of those games that mostly passed me by, had a little go or two on the Amiga back in the day but of course spent more time fiddling with AMOS.

So, tonight at 20:30 BST on #twitch I am going power up the Master System and play the 8 bit port in FULL RF quality!
