In this 2UP Takeover your fellow supporter Pietro Zuco from YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@messycircuits tries to save his treasured C64 tapes in digital form, to preserve their data forever.

I worked closely with Pietro on this video, whilst packing my underpants, and I think he did an amazing job at capturing that nostalgic ЯR storytelling tone, of what this project meant to him, while retaining his own storytelling voice too. All combined with some tech fun and possibilities to help teach us all. Nice work Pietro!

In the pipeline I have a music video for Complicated World (Part Two) feat. Ladyfractic, and more collabs including with supporters Lee Volante and Knight Rider Historians, looking at The Computers of Knight Rider! I should've started these 2UP videos occasionally a long time ago as this is going to be a blast!

Speaking of which, there's a sneak peek behind the scenes of what I was up to very recently. More on this one soon!

Your friend in retro, Perifractic
