#Casio Classic

[pluralzalpha]

One last little run of classic games consoles? These are all 80s and early 90s machines, so we're coming into the era of things I was actually playing with first time round.

The Sega Master System of 1986, the western version of the Sega Mark III, and below, the somewhat cheaper 1990 Master System II. In my day, you were either a Sega or Nintendo household. We were resolutely Nintendo, but we played the Master System II at our neighbour's (that was permitted by the terms of rivalry).

The 1987 European model Atari 7800. Never used the Atari, they were waning by the time I was playing, but I love the design. They had backwards compatibility, which it took forever for the others to catch onto.

The Casio P1000. Short-lived, Japan only, but God, isn't it gorgeous? From 1983. I feel like you could climb inside and live TRON.

The Action Max by WoW from 1987. Beautiful looking bit of kit, but it played games on VHS tapes! You had to plug the Action Max into a VCR and the VCR into the TV. Some games were based on movies which must have led to some error purchases.

The Amstrad GX-4000, a British console released in 1990. Cheap but with great graphics, but the games were crap so it flopped.

VTech Socrates from 1988. Known in European markets as translations of Professor Know-It-All. This was an educational system with limited games but it's a lovely design.

The Systema TV Boy Mk. II (1992 I think). I had one of these, it was terrible. It had over 100 games programmed in, but they were shoddily ported knock-offs of Atari games.

The Sega Mega Drive, or the Genesis if you're American. The original version came out in Japan in 1988, we got it in 1990. I played a lot on these at friends' places after they upgraded from the Master System, until we got:

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System, 1992 UK edition. Abbreviated lots of ways, we always called it the SNES. In Japan it was the Super Famicom, released 1990. The Mega Drive might have looked cooler, but the SNES had the very best games - OK, half of them were the same, but Sega didn't have Mario or Donkey Kong.

My original F-7 from 1981. I wore this every day for years. Went in the sea with it, everything. After the screen broke, I still wore it for another year. Only when the strap broke, did I have to retire it.

If I can replace the strap, then it's going right back on my wrist ❤️👍

When I was a kid, I was absolutely, utterly convinced that Mozart's Turkish March had lyrics about a sailing race. Nobody told me this. I had a keyboard with a demo mode that would play it, and my brain just filled in lyrics about how this guy sailed and sailed and left more and more people behind him. I didn't even know the name of the song, I just called it the sailing song.

maybe retroactively casio dad? idk it was originally under my deadname lol, but also not really properly released you know? my soundcloud used to get so little attention that i’d just throw demos & stuff on there publicly and that’s kinda what was going on with that one. glad people like it though

Casio A100WE - 1ADF

Custom strap with 2 watch holders to observe dual time zones .. Earth time and Space Time ( probably LV 426 )

This watch model is still available on Casio website. ( Relaunched with better build )

Its literally two Casios A100 strapped together. The model is still being produced even.

Casio Vintage series is still classic and looks great, much better than those smartwatches. If you are an 80's or 90's kid this is a must have.

Lisztober #23: Flowers of Hungary

Today we're taking a biographical trip down memory lane. The reason for this is that we still need enough Franz-and-Hungary for the next few days, so we have to get abstract today ;)

So, here's the „great“ story of how I got to Franz. (And I would be so interested to hear what your story is!!!! Tell us! You wouldn't all be here if there wasn't one ;) ) @franzliszt-official

I don't think there's anything that can please a family in the Ruhr area more than the following sentence: ‘I want to become a classical singer.’

I pestered them until they enrolled me in music school. And what a music school it was! It produced an outstanding internationally acclaimed composer & conductor, two tenors...and my precious Liszt-Thirst. (My thirst only. Electronic music, bah. Look at aaaall my voice filters!)

And that was mainly due to these two great people:

There was Márta on the one hand, and István on the other. Both originated from the Franz Liszt School of Music in Budapest - she studied singing, he did a doctorate in piano and composition - both emigrated to Germany in the early 1980s to enchant generations of music students with their Hungarian flair.

Márta had a fantastic habit of hammering out any musical accompaniment on the piano as if the devil himself was after her. She was tiny, very old and her high, heavily accented voice always demanded ‘more feeling’.

And this demand for ‘more feeling’ was not limited to singing. She was always keen for us to have a proper overview of music history and theory. She was a fantastic storyteller when it came to the background to pieces, in which phase of his life which composer had written what and why. She gave us CDs, dug out the most bizarre works that we had to rehearse and sometimes censored piquant passages with black sharpie („Not suitable for young ladies!“)  From time to time we had to première István's new – admittedly, very (very!!!!) specific - operas, had lots of great evenings with our orchestra colleagues... in short, a really great time for nerds.

Thanks to Márta, I also got into Liszt. That really changed my life. I'd like to say that Franz got me with the ‘Liebestraum’, but no, it was the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 8. <3 After that, I was hooked. And although I was/am really mediocre as a musician, Márta found my understanding of musically conveyed emotions worthy of encouragement. And I think it also triggered her national pride a little, that my love was for Franz and not Ludwig or anyone else.

At some point, she suggested to my mum that I really needed a piano myself. And I can still hear my mother in my ear: ‘Nya, where should we put it?’

I ended up with the crappiest instrument under the sun: a second-hand Casio SA 21. That was the beginning of the end. Lacelove and I watched a few gear videos of the thing a few days ago. ‘ Would be cool to put on the mixer.’ No. You can't do anything with it except play ‘Memory’ from Cats on 06 ‘Church Organ’ at your aunt's Christmas party while nobody listens to you because everyone is drinking eggnog....

Even the video was gut wrenching. I even hate the sight of it.

And it came as it had to: at some point, Nine Inch Nails/Trent Reznor came into my life and that paved the way for the stuff we do today.

I've forgotten so much music theory that it's really frightening. My unbroken love for Liszt has remained. Márta would be pretty shocked if she knew what I do today (or with Franz), I think. But I still miss her. <3

Marta was My singing teacher Strict and tiny And Hungarian More feeling, more feeling She screams at me And I don't know Whether I can give her all that She's always so angry To her piano And I guess That's often because of me She beats me up with Music history We practise all the arias Till I cry She gives me Hungarian Rhapsodies I can't escape them No more And then she asks me Who is your favourite Composer? And I say, oh, it's Franz Liszt She hugs me I get the kiss of consecration After that her rage is finally over And she says to my mum The child is a talent Because it knows true love Please buy her A piano right away I only get A fucked up Casio And then she asks me Who is your favourite Composer? And I say, oh, it's Franz Liszt Since then Franz hangs on my wall I caress every night A model of his hand Marta, if you knew what we do at night you would probably never rest again And then she asks me Who is your favourite composer? And I say, oh, it's Franz Liszt And I thank you So much I'm not sorry We had such a Such a good time You and me. And Franz List. And Franz Liszt.
