The Taylor and Amy Show helps make my daily trials, disappointments, and miseries almost half tolerable! Thanks from New Zealand! :)

Ah yes, memories of smashing keys on the keyboard to try to determine controls. They did a great job recreating that in this game! 😁

Very cool! Now you just need a "Stupid Pet Tricks" adapter to give your PET controller ports, wifi, and a sound jack :D

Congratulations on a truly wonderful, funny and inspirational channel. As an autistic guy (heading rapidly to 50 years on this rock) it's fair to say that the 80s inspired a similar passion for computers and tech as you have. Since finding KZfaq I've watched many many hours of retro computer and tech channels, but yours really has inspired me to have a go at getting into the hobby as you make it feel like even I could build a kit if I applied myself! So thanks so much for that. Ps. My first love is music and as a musician and producer currently putting music out there with my band - can I just say that I love the occasional bits of music you've done. It reminds me of the fun of bands like the b52's or the Go Go's! Tom.

Thanks for checking out my game! You can select player mode by pressing left/right on the controls.. I will update the docs. 80 col mode clearly still needs some work lol

I can't believe you robbed us viewers of the assembly of dozens and dozens of keys! 😝

Taylor, Amy, I have to say that this was the best MiniPET gaming episode you've ever done. Congratulations!

Cool to see the MiniPET project finished! I never did see 80 columns on the original PET we had at school, but the 40 columns brought back memories. (I played way older games, though - we only had it at my school very briefly in fall 1978 and then in the spring in 1979 (the 2 PET's the schoolboard had were rotated through multiple schools every few weeks).

The SD2PET is a sweet add-on. I've had one a couple years now that I use with my PET 2001-N computer. You should pick up a Stupid PET Tricks which will give you joystick ports.

This is the sort of precise, repetitive job that in a factory would be given to a pick and place machine. Except that they're expensive, so at home humans have to trudge through it.

Amy's sound effects when cutting the key legends were just adorable. I thought you only got "green fingers" from gardening. 😁🌻

"Hey Ami, Hey Taylor" - my favourite words. I did not know there was a frogger for the pet, so that's the thing I learned today. But don't you think people need to know how to assemble /all/ the keys? Feeling a little cheated, although I guess it gives me time to watch other videos.

Hiya Amy & Taylor☺️…Just watched this video and became an instant subscriber to the channel and l’m binge watching your playlist. Fabulous stuff…and l look forward to more uploads ☺️👌🏼

Regarding the dip switches, I find a dental pick is thin enough and curvy enough to get in there and hook over the switches, so you don't need to take off the perspex. (the blunt scrapers work better than the sharp pointy ones).

Cool project

I also cannot believe they left "Petris" there on the ground like that. xD Can I suggest a better blade holder because dang I hate those metal barrels? I tried a few and ended up on the "Fiskars Softgrip Craft Knife" and it's way more stable and nicer (for me anyway) to hold. If, you know, you care. Because I do not like those plain metal barrel grips.

Fun stuff and nice job on the keys!

All the wow!

Neat!

Pleased to see the keyboard complete, and the SD2PET in place. D64 is just a disk image format, all those games are for the PET, including my PET versions of 3D Monster Maze and Tut-Tut and a playable demo of PETSCII Robots.

8:28 Holy retrogaming! IIRC, Commodore had long ended the PET line (not sure if the 128 was yet over) when Tetris reached the States ('87?)

0:35 I thought you put in a blur effect on purpose and was like "what could that keycap possibly say that they're censoring it!?"

The MiniPET is very nice, I think I need to get one.

3:55 I see you eventually did put that 9-pin "D" connector in.

I put a bunch of stickers on a keyboard to give it the C64 layout. That took a while and I didn't even have to cut them out individually. I don't know if I have the patience or the steady hand to do that.

Glad you finished it, looks stunning. Love watching you two enjoy the PET together. After all was said and done how much does it cost to put one of these together?

WoW you survived cutting out all the bits for those key caps glad its works great have fun girls
