Kind of a random thing, but does there still exist a thing like ye olde retro Print Shop Pro that can print BIG LETTER BANNERS on modern computers? Like, other than a doc with big letters. Sad we don't have the tractor feed anymore, but I can tape things together.

I do have a non-zero amount of motivation to try to get the retro hardware I have on hand up & running with actual Print Shop Pro. Not sure if I have any working printer ribbons though

@relsqui Yeah, like I don't even want a nicer modern version. I want that exact cruddy old thing :)

@relsqui (i mean not surprising since I like retro stuff but...)

@relsqui But also yeah, the simple & constrained choices were fun! I don't want a whole desktop publishing app

Seems like the VICE emulator for C64 claims to be able to print to a .bmp file. Haven't gotten it to work yet, but this screen from The Print Shop hit me with some feels
