Kazeta is a new OS by the creator of ChimeraOS. You might have seen some news on it in the last few days, or at least some posts on social media. Its not trying to be the next big gaming platform, it’s more like a little love letter to the old style of gaming. Instead of all those menus, online accounts, and updates, it takes things back to the basics: stick in a ‘cartridge’ you make yourself, turn on the system, and play. That’s it! No fuss, just the game you wanted to play.

What makes it extra fun is that the ‘cartridges’ are really just SD cards you load games onto. Label them, stack them, swap them around, it’s built to make you feel like you’re back in the ’90s, digging through a shoebox of game carts. For someone who wasn’t alive for that era of gaming (not even close, honestly), it’s a neat little glimpse of what it was like. A tactile vision of when games came on actual carts…well, kind of.

Kazeta is a neat mix of nostalgia and practicality, especially if you’re tired of modern gaming feeling like a chore.

I got the chance to chat with Alkazar, the dev behind Kazeta, and he shared some great insights into building the OS. This feature pulls together our conversation and what makes the project so unique.

You can find the link to that article I wrote here (on Gardiner Bryant’s site), and I hope you enjoy it! Please let me know what you think, of it…and my writing!

    the dismissive ‘it’s just A.I.’ comment does get under my skin

    It wasn’t my intention to get under your skin or to appear to be dismissive about your article, sorry. I admit the AI part was a bit harsh.

    The wording itself never felt like AI. I’ve read the whole thing. At one point I thought the article started over because the content of a paragraph was extremely similar. Later there was a part of the summary, with another paragraph of the same. That reminded me of why I dislike AI responses. It does the same thing, but it is programmed to do so because thats what some people need to absorb the info.

    Personally I prefer articles and videos with a very high information density. Thats all. You don’t have to change anything if you feel like this is not what you’re going for.

    Cheers.
