INDEPENDENT COMPUTER ENGINEERING
The future we imagined.
It's still ahead of us.
What if the computers we grew up with never stopped evolving?
SuperCoCo is our next-generation FPGA Color Computer — designed for faithful, cycle-accurate compatibility and possibilities the originals never had.

THE COMMUNITY
Two eras.
One conversation.
Our BBS is live for people who still enjoy the sound and feeling of making a real connection. Messages, files, graphics, and conversations from machines old and new.
Connect at bbs.nextwaveretro.com on port 6400 or 6309. You can also try our PeTerm-inspired browser terminal on the BBS page.

OUR STORY
Independent by design.
Curious by nature.
Next Wave Retro brings Stew's FPGA and systems engineering together with Leena's marketing perspective and creative storytelling. We love the machines that taught us to imagine — and the future they inspired.
