In the aftermath of my Teletext experiments on Amiga – which I totally believed to be a world’s first breakthrough – blog reader Martin contacted me to tell me about his own Teletext experiments back in 1992, with a working solution in 1994, making his setup probably the real world’s first Teletext output directly from the Amiga!

In 1974, a brand new technology called teletext was being rolled out. It would, over the next few decades, have far-reaching implications, not only in the UK but worldwide. These are the stories of those involved in the production, restoration and art of the blocky medium that graced UK TV screens until 2012. You’ll hear from the pioneers, those who made teletext tick, and the newcomers keeping the medium alive 50 years after its inception. This is a social record of teletext, and these are the teletext people.

The teletext artist responsible for the image of Bamber Boozler plays through a Bamboozle quiz.

TEEFAX is a mysterious puzzle adventure game that has you solve a cold case after an old laptop containing the photos of a long unidentified victim is found in an abandoned house. There is also an app on the laptop - The Door. The police reckon it may be a cipher of some sort, but as they are unsuccessful in solving it, they turn to the public.

This originates from Teletext, where 10th March looked like MAR10. Image source: https://www.superpage58.com/digitiser-vault-teletext-screenshot-image-archive-1993-01-01.htm

In most of the western world teletext has disappeared, but in Sweden it is going strong and will soon celebrate its 45th anniversary

I made this years ago when Teletext announced they were closing. It amused me that that they might report on the world ending and still plan to run the service beyond that point, along with selling holidays nobody is able to go on.
