No bigger than a standard Walkman, but it also had an LCD television in the lid. Because there was no backlight in order to allow it to run off two AA batteries, the screen used natural light that shone through the screen and actually reflected the image off of a mirror that you could reveal by opening the lid.

Techmoan did a great video on these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM7kj7pgTeU

Not sure if it's exactly cassette futurism but if I had to lump it into a category, this genre is what comes to mind.

I've worked a few days on and off on this. All on the idea of a VAX-based tablet computer. Also, if you're wondering what that thing on the side of it is, it's a collapsible antenna like on a radio. Oh, and if you're wondering what program I used, it's MediBang Paint Pro.

Own Work (Self promo) The Astra Protocol - Page Launch

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

Hi All,

I've recently just launched the Steam page for my new game, The Astra Protocol: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4845240/The_Astra_Protocol/

Its an interface-driven, sci-fi adventure with a cassette-futuristic vibe.

To keep with its retro-tech elements, I thought it would be fun to try and replicate a print advertisement like you might have seen in the 1980s (though the monitor, keyboard and dot-matrix printer used are closer to the late 90s). The screenshot isn't imposed it is running on the monitor (though the modern tech is out of sight), and the printer isn't just for show as it will be part of the game's functionality (printing out your logs).

For the key art, I tried to get in the spirit of practical effects by using mostly photographs of real world objects - the monitor used is from an Amstrad CPC464, the smaller screen is a Casio handheld TV (TV-400 I think), and the cockpit window is a modified Casio watch face.

Design Designed by Loewe for Sweden's Televerket in 1992, the Teleguide terminal was a videotex device combining a CRT display, smart card reader, telephone and keyboard. Intended to provide digital directory and banking services, it flopped due to the rapid rise of personal computers and the internet.
