[What do you think is the best/ugliest looking 80s computer?]

Everyone is probably tired of seeing me talking about my Atari PC1...

 

 

Isn't it a beauty?

 

Well, I don't think that there are any ugly computers...

 

 

 

 

 

[Commodore 64 Complete Zak Mckracken Price check / selling]

Thank you for the answer Federico!

 

No disappointment at all...

You see, first of all, I am not willing to sell it.

 

However, as I said, my copy is complete in box, even I didn't put everything in the photo.

 

And last, I've got the Atari ST version (I am an Atarian since 1988). The box just says Amiga...  

 

p.s. WOW! Great collection you got there!!!

Well, after 5 years, look where Zak is now...

 

I was looking through my games collection and just for fun, I was checking for the prices at ebay, until I came to my wonderful copy of Zak McKracken...

We are talking about €400, €700, even over €1000  (I live in Greece).

 

This game also appears in these lists:

I know this is for the PC version, but I think the same goes for the ST and Amiga versions...

Greetings to all and thanx for the comments

 

The last game I played, was Bombjack on my ST, I think.

Unfortunately, there isn't enough time to share with my collection.

 

Thanx again!

[A Greek Atari Fan's collection...]

Hello from a Greek Atari fan since 1986, when my parents bought me my Atari 800XL and later my Atari 520STFM...

 

Here is my hardware collection of Atari Computers and other systems.

There is a magazines, handhelds and software collection too which I'll post it in the near future, I hope...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for keeping the Atari spirit alive!

[Does ANYONE have an Atari PC1 ONLY (not other PCs)]

Hello fellow Atarians!

 

I am an Atarian since 1988 with an 800XL and an ST!

I live in Greece and I am a retro gamer and Atari enthusiast.

 

I thought, you'd like to see a few photos of my Atari PC1:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes I have the boxes as well!

 

However, this is NOT for sale!

I posted these photos in retromaniax.gr, a Greek retro gaming (and not only) forum, in Atari forum and here, to see the marvellous PC1, because I know there aren't many photos of this machine on the net.

Here is the link to the original retromaniax page: http://www.retromani...;αση

Thanx for keeping the Atari spirit alive, guys!

[Which of your consoles/computers have you owned since childhood?]

Well, I entered the magic world of computers in 1987 with an Atari 800XL.

After 2 years my parents bought me an Atari 520STFM.

Here they are, in all their glory:

[Atari 2600 - Spacevision Collection]

Thread resurrection!

 

Here is my small collection of Spacevision carts:

 

The one with the Knight, doesn't say anything and it has 2 switches.

The one with the cowboy says Mario Bros (!)

The one with the formula says Grandprix, Seaquest, River Raid 2 and Enduro

And finally, the one with Indy, says Pac Man (!)

 

 

Hope you find it interesting!

[Does ANYONE have an Atari PC1 ONLY (not other PCs)]

Finally got one. Been looking for ages! Anyone know where I can download or buy the Atari System Software for this???

 

Congratulations!!!

It's been a really long time searching!!!

[Were there any viruses for Atari?]

In the Atari Explorer (Sept/Oct 1988 issue), there was an article named "Unlocking the secrets of computer viruses".

There are no specific points telling that there is a virus for the Atari 8-bit, but in general, it says about A virus, that attaches itself to application programs and it was reported in the Portland Atari Connection newsletter.
