  1. Oh I'm quite aware that games that use CGA, for example, will work just fine on my HX system. It's games that actually make use of the hardware that I've been trying to figure out. Also, the Moby games site is a useful resource, but I'm reasonably certain that some of the listing are incorrect, missing, or have other issues with the listings.
  2. Not a help with your question, but I was looking for a list like that for games to run on my actual Tandy 1000 machines. Thanks for posting the link.
  3. I know little about electronics myself, but I would wonder if a more tactile key pad like this one would work as well. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832636919373.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_allProduct.8148356.15.227349ecRa7wZo&pdp_npi=3%40dis!USD!US %241.75!US %241.57!US %241.57!!!!%402101e9d216836915524371744e9f4d!10000015762680130!sh!US!742887300&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
  4. Also note that the difference between Tandy graphics and EGA isn't really all that big. Most common Tandy modes are: 160×200 with 16 colors, 320×200 with 16 colors, and 640×200 with 4 colors (from 16). While EGA uses: 640×350 w/16 colors, 640×200 w/16 colors and 320×200 w/16 colors. With a standard CGA monitor the differences are more difficult to discern than some screenshots found online would lead you to believe. Also, as Turbo-Torch commented, the 3-voice sound from a Tandy computer is quite a bit better sounding in general than the single "beeper" sound in most computers of that era.
  5. The answer to which one is the all-in-one unit is: yes. I own two HX systems and the keyboards are reasonably good. (They're not bad on the RL line which has seperate keyboards, either.)
  6. I don't believe that the mouth was the part of that particular horse that was doing the talking.
  7. Oddly enough, the NDS version isn't anywhere near as bad. (It's not fantastic, though.)
  8. Oddly enough, I don't actually own any rubber bands. I'll most likely just buy the proper belt for it when I get some time to work on it.
  9. I used DeskMate 3 for years on my 1000HX. It worked well enough for the things that I wanted to do with it.
  10. I knew I had mine put away somewhere. Unfortunately it has both a dead timekeeper and belt issues now.
  11. Has it? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1782606924.html?spm=a2g0o.home.15002.581.3c0f21454zMJsM&gps-id=pcJustForYou&scm=1007.13562.168240.0&scm_id=1007.13562.168240.0&scm-url=1007.13562.168240.0&pvid=27637224-8e86-4f12-9bf9-11b5c4bdab9d&_t=gps-id:pcJustForYou,scm-url:1007.13562.168240.0,pvid:27637224-8e86-4f12-9bf9-11b5c4bdab9d,tpp_buckets:668%230%23131923%2348_668%23888%233325%2310_668%232846%238108%231977_668%232717%237560%23267__668%233374%2315176%23480
  12. It means that I still need to get something to play the several MVS carts that I own on.
  13. Honestly, I would go so far as to say that even many of Data Age's games really aren't that bad.
