how it all began...
I simply wanted to bulid an Educator 64 for myself but i could not bring myself to cut up an old Commodore Pet. So i decided to make one...
With the help of a CAD designer we spent most of 2021 sketching, designing and then rendering a case in steel, it wasnt easy.
At first i wanted a C64 case, then it evolved into a semi-universal Amiga case and then finally, PC too.
From C64 to Amiga 500, then A1200 and finally mATX.

mvt computers - made in england
While researching and developing the A-Pet computer, we attended numerous computer shows across Europe and the seed was planted to write a book about what was possibly the greatest period in computing history - the 1970s and 1980s. This is the basis of 8-Bit Stories, which is available from Amazon, but obviously, the computer craze didn't end in the 1980s. Commodore and Atari introduced the world to the mouse, multitasking and colour with the Amiga and ST, and this became 16-Bit Stories. The obvious follow-up will be 32-Bit Stories, and this will cover the rise of the PC.
Never one to rest...we have continued to explore new avenues, and this leads us on to retro-inspired clothes and Apps for Android and IOS. We are experimenting with Windows and Mac versions of our software too
It's also time to return to video and podcast creation, and with what little time we have remaining, we are actively rebuilding a Land Rover series3 and a Defender. And the occasional article for Pixel Addict.

From the 1970s and on in to the 1990s , the 8 bit computer ruled the gaming landscape.
Moving from the 1980s and into the semi modern era of 16-bit computing with the ST and Amiga.
