The Mighty Axles' Collection

[TheMightyAxle]

Hi !

 

Although I am new around here, I thought everyone might like to have a look at my small, but modest Atari 800 XL collection. It started off as a trade for an unwanted handheld console, after seeing the machine in action and remembering playing one, way back in the 1980's at a friends house.

 

Hardware ::

 

The Badge

 

 

The Atari 800 XL

 

 

The beautiful polished metal buttons ...

 

 

Atari XC12 Tape Deck

 

 

Competition Pro 5000 Joystick

 

 

Software ::

 

Mastertronic Games

 

 

Cartridges : River Raid and Pac-Man

 

 

You may also like to know that I collect Mastertronic Tapes, currently for the Commodore 64. I am considering the Atari as well, although I will have to find out how many were released. There are around 239 for the Commodore 64 and I have 216. The closer to finishing the collection, the harder it gets, as a few are more difficult to come by. I have a blog which you can follow at : [ http://allthingsmastertronic.blogspot.com/ ]

 

I will post Photos of my Commodore Hardware soon as well, Commodore 128, 1541-II etc.

 

If you would like me to reduce the size of the Photos, I can, but it is also nice to see the kit its glory !

 

Cheers !

After Mastertronic go on to complete Players, that was a good little software house. I lived nearby and actually once stood in front of their door on some industrial estate near Tadley. Should have taken a pic....

I have finally hooked up my Atari 1050 :

 

 

Just need to get some software to run on it now, I have plenty of 5.25" Disks for it though, which is always a bonus.

 

Another one for the Mastertronic Collection :

 

 

Good ol' Action Biker !
