  1. The stamp indicates that your 800 was manufactured the 17th week of 1981. Please consider adding your info to the 800 Owners Database... And congratulations! Colleen is the best!
  2. Anyone ever find out what happened to @carmel_andrews? He was always good for a laugh. Yes, I realize it's been over ten years.
  3. Alley Cat VBXE would be the killer app that finally convinces me to take the VBXE plunge.
  4. The TransKey II is an excellent inexpensive alternative to the XEGS keyboard. Allows you to use any PS2 keyboard with the console. I have one myself.
  5. Lode Runner and Karateka from Br0derbund were both flippy releases. Mercenary and PQ The Party Quiz Game are two others I have.
  6. Trooper 2 is not well made. I've broken two of them with a week or two of light, non-abusive use. The plastic handle gives up pretty easily.
  7. Enjoying both of these very much.. love puzzle games.
  8. Artifacting is a technique to generate color in hi-res mode exploiting the limitations of an old CRT monitor. This is an emulated screenshot, it will look even worse with real hardware, especially with an RF connection instead of composite.
  9. Any software-generated 80 column display will be all but unreadable on an RF-connected TV set. The artifacting will drive you insane.
  10. I don't speak a word of Polish, but I think I have a new favorite song. 12 Groszy is going to be in my head for days. Note to self: Learn Polish.
  11. Bump. Anyone interested in this great game?
  12. Still have my fingers crossed for OutRun...
