  1. You might have a point here. I counted 19 blue squares vertically. That doesn't prove it, but if 1 square was 1 tile then that would be too many vertically (Inty only has 12 tiles vertically).
  2. In all seriousness, this looks like early work on a new type of game. I'm interested to see more.
  3. Astrosmash and Frog Bog are my top 2 pick-up-and-play games.
  4. Boeing! - Play the role of an aerospace industry board-member whose goal is a golden parachute! Level up by moving the headquarters multiple times, further and further away from the engineers and closer to Washington DC politicians for lucrative contracts! Use multi-year schedule delays on the SLS rocket to charge cost overruns back to NASA! But beware! Lack of technical oversight can lead to fines for the Starliner space capsule program and grounding of the entire 737 Max airplane fleet!
  5. I think KylJoy wins the Take The Worst Picture Of Lathe26 contest!
  6. 3 demo carts, 2 mutilated boxes, $100,000 OBO. Geez, can I have some of the drugs this seller is on? https://www.ebay.com/itm/115941667935?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=d09x7VdARf2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=_J-KGGgIS4G&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  7. It's also missing the Printer Interface part ("the cable") so you won't be able to print if you have Keyboard Component.
  8. Notify the one of mods of the server error. Note that Albert is likely busy ramping up for PRGE.
  9. Just confirmed that downloading the files works fine on my machine. What browser are you using?
  10. Here's a few quick recommendations: Downtown area: Powell's Book Store - a MASSIVE used book store (some new) with a small cafe inside (food and lattes). Billy Galaxy - retro toys (GI Joe, Transformers, older toys, some comics, a some animation cells from 1980s cartoons) Ground Kontrol - old school video game arcade and pinball Wander around downtown district for food, both north and south of Burnside. Voodoo Doughnuts - weird and fun novelty doughnuts with a dark & dirty sense of humor Barely west of downtown Blue Star Donut - what would happen if a 5-star chef designed donuts, odd combinations of flavors that will blow your tastebuds. Has locations elsewhere, too. Walking distance from Oregon Convention Center (east of downtown) Voodoo Doughnuts - weird and fun novelty doughnuts with a dark & dirty sense of humor URS Electronics - if you like building electronics from new parts (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc) TOTL Games - retro game store (walking here is a stretch) South east of downtown, across the river OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) - a science museum Oregon Rail Heritage Center - a train museum with ~4 locomotives you can tour USS Blueback Submarine - tour a retired US navy submarine Further east by southeast of downtown Hawthorne Blvd - lot's of shops along here on the east side Fricking west of downtown Surplus Gizmos - if you like building electronics and used lab equipment, check this place out (recommend viewing online first to see if it interests you). Need to drive there. There is a LOT of other stuff to do, but these are a mild starter list. Get the HOP Pass installed on your phone so that you can ride the street cars (small rail transit) and the rail cars (heavier rail transit). Works for buses, too.
  11. Are you looking only for PRGE advice or also Portland-as-a-tourist advice as well?
  12. Intymike is going to be quiet on the whole "pay him at least a visit" issue...
  13. This is close to definitive. There are 2 variants with the above board: Tutor Pro - has the Tutor Pro executive ROM called WBEXEC Partial Tutor Pro (not sure if these have a name) - has all the hardware but only has the original Mattel EXEC ROM. Since the WBEXEC = Original_EXEC + Half_WBEXEC, you can hack a Tutor Pro game to run on a Partial Tutor Pro by appending 1/2 of the WBEXEC data (the half that isn't a copy of the original EXEC) onto the Tutor Pro game's ROM. To see demo of this working (though not how to do it), check out the following video: To see if you have a Tutor Pro or a Partial Tutor Pro, there are several alternative options: Run the Diagnostic test cart or ROM (easiest if you have it) Open up the case and look at the ROM chip in the upper right whose logo is an "M" inside a circle. It is says "WBEXEC" in the middle, you have a full Tutor Pro. If it doesn't, its a Partial Tutor Pro Run a Tutor Pro game ROM on it. Here are 2 available for download: Lastly, if you only have a Partial Tutor Pro but still want to try out the Games+Half_WBEXEC, you can download the above 2 games from the link below but with the modification. Running the below versions of the games does not differentiate a Tutor Pro from a Partial Tutor Pro.
  14. QC probably stands for Quality Control and number is for the person (or station) that inspected them. Makes me think of an old ad...
  15. Unfortunately, I am encountering the same issue.
  16. Cool! Coincidentally, I was at a used electronics store yesterday and saw the same terminal with multiple loose keyboards as shown in Figure 40. They also appear to have some CompuPro cards for sale on their eBay site.
  17. Epic research, Decle! I love reading the new material. It's fascinating.
  18. My guess is that they were ordinary Sears controllers but someone transplanted the overlay plastic trim from normal Intellivsion controllers.
