  1. Finally got my hands on a TRS-80 Model 4, direct from Ian in Australia. My first all-in-one microcomputer. What a beauty.

      It's probably even more in today's money when you take inflation into account. And I also have an NEC PC-8300, which, from what I can tell, is very similar to the Model 100. I do still want to get a Model 100 or 200 someday, though.

  2. Is Atarimax still a thing? I hate to have to ask, but I've sent a couple of email inquiries their way, and almost two months later, I've not heard a single peep. Maybe something happened, and I'm just out of the loop...

      I emailed him directly twice, yes. (For the same thing, but I wrote them both differently.) At least, I did via the email provided on his site. Haven't tried though AA yet. I've heard good things as well, and I never heard anything about him dropping off the radar, so I was a bit confused.

  3. Got my first package from Best Electronics. SX212, SX Express, and XM301, all new in the box. Now I can see why people praise them so highly. :)

      Indeed it did. And a whooooole lot of packing peanuts, too.

  4. Well, I don't have a system to play the games on yet but after today's haul from Half Price Books it looks like I'm collecting for the Atari Jaguar now. =) http://i.imgur.com/aOnFmNt.jpg

      Very nice find! I've been putting off the Jaguar for a long time, myself, since it always seems so pricey to collect for. I guess they aren't getting any cheaper, though...

      It's really quite something. Helping to sustain and breathe new life into these older systems, so that they may continue to be enjoyed and appreciated in the modern age, is a pretty incredible feat.

      The only problem: deciding what on earth to get, next...

  7. My new Atari 800 finally arrived! Jeez, this thing is huge. The 810 drive it came with doesn't seem to work, though... Never stops being "busy", just spins constantly, not reading anything at all. No idea what's wrong with it.

      Yes Bryan, it always runs, even when it's not connected to the computer. I might try checking if any of the capacitors are bad. Beyond that, I don't really know what else can be done.

  8. Cautiously optimistic for the System Shock remake being kickstarted right now. The original was easily one of my favorite old PC games.

      My confidence is at least enough to take a chance on backing it, which I did. Hopeful for more System Shock 3 details to surface later on, too.

  9. Steam sure does have a broad definition of 'roguelike.' It seems to bleed into 'fantasy-themed twin-stick shooter' for whatever reason.

      A better term for most of them is 'roguelite', I think; roguelike, but, not quite. Either way, seems like quite the selling point, these days.

      Oh, I played the demo! Very short, but I'm impressed with how much they nailed the look and feel of the Citadel so far.
