I'm going with 4 as my number

I bought a 1040STf at the beginning of the pandemic, give me something to do if I had lost my job (Luckily I was considered essential) have had a lot of fun with it, mostly bought it to play the old Sierra games on (Have most of them now) and got a little carried away with it, had to buy an upscaler, the original mouse and got 2 other mice too, one is a Logitech with an adapter, and the other is a moue with a amiga/ST switch. All 3 work, but mostly use the original since it looks like the rest of the PC. Have over 200 floppy disks for it now, drive works great and only about 10 have been bad so far, have 5 NOS boxes that haven't even opened yet. I looked at the STE when I was looking to buy one, but for the money they were going for, I should have bought one, would have saved me on the upscaler. Here is a picture of it, has grown a lot since this was taken.

There was one in KC MO, Gameco KC. Had lots of 2600 games and everything else there. Traded a genisis with a bunch of games for an 800xl. Looks like they didn't survive the virus though. Shows permanently closed.

I live down the street from there. The other spot they have 2600 games is against a pillar. If you need combat they have around 20 copies

That looks like Vintage Stock. Hate the way they put the price over the label on games.....

Ripper has Christopher Walken being very Christopher Walkeny (is that a word?) so I'd have to pick that one. Phantasmagoria the acting in it takes me out of the experience. The best fmv game I've played is the Tex Murphy games. Especially Under a Killing Moon. It feels like your watching a 1950s B detective movie set in the future

most of the games came with the original binge one I bought, this one was just the system, and I picked up a few like Tunnels of Doom and Slymoids

This is true, and I do have about 25 games, plus a few XB games I can load to play, so I have lots occupied till the right expansion comes along.

Psycho Pinball for DOS, and 3D Ultra Pinball Thrillride for Windows (still have this game and runs on windows 8.1.)

Mines pretty basic so far. Do have the Speech Synthesizer, want to get a nano-peb, but so far no luck there. Oh yeah, I do have Extended Basic and Editor/Assembler, just the base ones.

There is an MBX system up on ebay if anyone is interested? Would like to have it, but out of my price range. http://www.ebay.com/itm/TI-99-4A-TI99-MBX-Expansion-System-Milton-Bradley-WORKS-In-Box-With-BASEBALL-/191582684866?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c9b37c6c2

started out on an 8088 back in 84, and was strictly PC till about 97 when I got a Nintendo 64 and PlayStation. To be honest, have no interest in old PCs (Outside of the TI99/4A I just picked up) I still enjoy the games, bought several from GOG and they play just like I remember them, I used to love tinkering with them, reading books about PCs to get them most out of them, all that good stuff, but honestly just want to play now. Guess it's because I work on them every day has something to do with it. I can understand the respect for old systems especially the early ones like the 8088 and 286 those cases were like a tank (and kind of looked like one too) but me personally, dosbox is all I need for my old PC fix.

After playing around with classic99 and Win994a, and finding this area of the site, I had to get a real system again, and learned a lot reading post. Heck I didn't even know they were still making hardware and software for this 35 year old system still, would love to get a PEB, but shipping puts it out of my price range, but getting a nano-peb soon. thank you all for all the info posted over the last few years that I'm still sifting through.

Must be one of those rare Commodore 64s made by Texas Instruments, like that Atari II/e or the Apple 800XL "This is the "history of the Computer Industry" and anyone in the Business, might enjoy it for a "statement piece" in their office....or ...home..?" Shouldn't you know the history of the computer industry before saying "This is the history of the computer industry"? just a thought.

figured they would all work, but never hurts to ask, thank you.
