Meet Kari Lawler, a YouTuber with a passion for collecting and fixing classic computers, as well as retro gaming. This interview first appeared in issue 147 of The MagPi magazine.
Kari Lawler has a passion for retro tech — and despite being 21, her idea of retro fits with just about everyone’s definition, as she collects and restores old Commodore 64s, Amiga A500s, and Atari 2600s. Stuff from before even Features Editor Rob was born, and he’s rapidly approaching 40. Kari has been involved in the tech scene for ten years though, doing much more than make videos on ’80s computers.
Never could get any of those mag games to work on my Sinclair Spectrum - i seem to remember the print/stapling of the pages would make some lines unreadable, and i had no clue as to what to do with it.
Loading games from a mono tape player worked, mostly, though. Ultimate games were far and away the best - how many hours went to Jet Pac, Trans Am, and Cookie rather than homework, lol.
