high voltage

I found this old(ish) list?

Tiger game.com had identity.

Compared to which other console at the time?

Forgot to say...wrong-way-around joystick, terrible.

Weird, I see other Telegames titles, and Battle Wheels (Beyond Software), Robotron (Shadowsoft). But still, nice collection

Bubble Trouble? Fat Bobby? Raiden? ...Missing?

I just downloaded this: http://files.pofowiki.de/?&&path=fun%2F&filename=infocom.zip&action=download

Played it on my iMac, like 2001? Can't remember. But I enjoyed it. After that I've played Pyst.

Sometimes the postings here on AA reads like a War and Peace novel

Usually, with the American/Europe version, the coin got lost. I am happy with the Japanese version, which also plays in English.

No I don't. But, at least I have got the Quarterstaff 'wooden coin'

Exactly, AtariMania lists ~10,000 Atari 8-bit games (under heading 'games')

Same as C64.. Just check out the huge database on Boulder Dash screens from BDCK

World of Spectrum (ZX) has more than 13,000 games listed? Haven't checked for a while.

Shame the second and third book never happened. I loved reading the first book

Exactly...

EG would never include business packages, it was a gaming magazine. It does include educational, of course. But still, C64 and A2 are very close together.

Apple ][ Gaming library, I've found this from US EG gaming magazine: Commodore 64 website GB64 mentions so far 29,000 games, but 1/3 of the entries are selfmade stuff like Boulder Dash games, lots of PD games, loads of SEUCK and whatever. AtariMania lists 9000 different VCS games, is that so? Magazines from way back are more reality than the internet.

I once had an Apple II, very sturdy, they felt like they belong to the Army, out in the field. Never figured the AII out. Later, during a flea market visit, I saw an Apple IIc going for $20, I didn't buy it. Bummer. That would looked good along with my Atari 130 XE and C128.

Despite all those protections, pirating was very high in UK.

Yes

The 'crash' started in late 1983, reached its peak in 1984

Pokey was also Ataris Arcade coin-op sound chip (and Atari 8 bit), so yes, it is very good. It is on-par with Sid

Third Wave = Third Gen...………….Even Germany knew it: Dritte Generation = Third Gen Nes was released in July 1983 (Famicom), 2nd Gen?

Very pretty threesome
