Радио 86РК (Radio 86RK) Gameplay Vol. 1 [TCE #0489]
31A selection of РК (RK) games playing on real hardware, loaded via the cassette interface.
The Radio 86RK was an early Soviet home brew computer (not the first) designed around their version of the Intel 8080, the КР580ВМ80А. It is named after the magazine it was featured in, РАДИО (or RADIO), with the РК (or RK) standing for "Радио Компьютер" (or radio computer), indicating that it was targeted at ham radio enthusiasts, similar to the use of a "ham shack" computer in the West.
It was then used as the basis for a range of industrially produced computers, such as the Партнер 01.01 (Partner) and Альфа БК (Alpha BK) already featured on this channel, which provided a case & keyboard, as well as saving the builder from trying to source scarce parts on their own.
This isn't an original build but Sergey Kiselev's updated version - I'm using v1.3 of his board which requires 2716 (2KByte) EPROMs and uses the quirky-but-appropriate JCUKEN keyboard layout.
He has created a v1.4 that allows larger/newer EPROMs to be used as well as switching to the more familiar QWERTY keyboard layout.
