Breadbox is a realistic retro computer simulator. Experience the amazing machines from the 70’s and 80’s in a visual environment. Interact with hardware and old media as if it were real. Add an emulator and test your programming skills with Basic or 8-bit machine language. Add content to your virtual libraries to play games or easily access your manuals.
Breadbox is not a game, it’s more of a sandbox simulator. It brings a new immersive dimension for retro-computer emulation, you can experience how the interactions with the hardware and old media formats work.
Note! No digital copies of original software or manuals for the computers are included. It’s totally up to you to add media content and learn how these computers work.
If you love retro computers and simulators, this is what you’ve been waiting for!
Find digital copies of original manuals and other documents from the archives of the internet and add the files to your Breadbox library for easy access. Learn how these computers work, learn to code, create new games and other programs. If programming on old computers is not your thing, you can also run games and other programs on computers. Find digital formats of dusty old media, like .tap, .d64, and .crt, and collect them into your simulator library. In the simulator, files can be used in the same way as real-world floppy disks, tapes, or cartridges. You can load and run the programs just like in a real retro computer.
These features, along with many others, are planned for future versions. It is impossible to say whether all the features mentioned here will be realized, as it depends on the resources available and the support the project receives.
Your contribution matters a LOT! Simply said, this is funded by you. if you buy this product, it is the ultimate way to promote the development of Breadbox. There is so much work to do, new features, and new models to implement. We have tons of ideas waiting to be implemented, but your feedback is also appreciated. We want to know what doesn’t work, so we can fix it. And what new features would you want to see next, to prioritize our work?
Make sure, you understand what Work in progress / Early Access means.
The software is not ready and many features are missing. And you might have a hardware/software combination that hasn’t been tested for compatibility with the game yet. If you encounter any problems with the game, we appreciate it if you first check the manual, FAQ, and Breadbox Steam community forums to see if there are any solutions to the problem. If the issue is not logged or needs to be updated, you can help us by posting or updating the issue in the community forum or by contacting product support. And please provide detailed information about the problem and technical information about your computer settings. All feedback and issue reports will be handled, but please have some patience. The current development team is only one person and may not be able to respond to all issues immediately, hence we will update the product FAQ when common issues arise.
Note! if you are more interested in just playing old games or you are looking for a professional tool for retro-programming, etc, you may consider other options, like emulators, programming tools, or emulator front-ends.
