Stranger Things and the Amiga 1000

They clearly had all the makings of accuracy right there; the OS screenshots, icons, mouse pointer, even the block cursor. When it’s that close, fumbling with the details is somehow more annoying than just phoning it in completely. If there was a reason for it, it completely escapes me. Would Topaz and standard window titles have been terribly boring? Would C, BASIC or Assembly code look less appealing than HTML? We may never know.
Luckily, I believe in being constructive. Hence, I hereby offer my services to any television and movie producers in need of them. For a very reasonable fee, I’m available as a Computer Accuracy Consultant on any forthcoming projects. And if it’s going to feature an Amiga, I’ll even write the necessary programs myself.
