Keatah Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Circa 1985. Tandy TRS80 model 4d 64k micro computer. Are you going to spit-polish it and restore it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 For my future game room... Hitachi_KC655H.jpg Top.jpg ..and it has weatherband too. I'd debating whether to go with something like that or the next step, a red LED clock. But in the same style and configuration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Time for the obligatory 2018 "Stuff I got for Christmas this year" post! Dino Strike is a game I've been wanting for years and years, so I'm totally thrilled to have it and definitely going to give it a play later tonight. Contra: Hard Corps and Rocket Knight Adventures are just awesome additions to my Sega Genesis library, and while Tanglewood was a gift for the misses we're gonna play it together and trade off the controller between levels so it should be a ton of fun! And the shirt, well... If the shirt fits, as they say. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keatah Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) Just the other day I bought some TRS-80 Pocket Computer stuff. A book and a program cassette. More stuff I wanted as a kid but couldn't afford or never quite got around to. It's part of my slow acquisition, cost-efficient, lazy plan to fill in some empty spots.

The Pacman plug-in-play is decent and way better than the Atgames version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcamp48 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Here is a partial list of disks that I have for the Atari ST , I will enclose a wks file use VIP Pro to read it, still working on it, but there is almost 400 entries, I am adding as we speak to it now with my old XP machine and floppy drive.

+Stephen Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I had similar wow moments except they were on the "hi-res side" so to speak. Seeing graphics in 1024 x 768 and 800 x 600 was quite the step-up from what I had going in the 16-bit world. My first graphics card was a 1MB STB Evolution 16-bit ISA board for my 486. It was based on the Cirrus Logic 5422 chip. Boca Voyager (VESA local bus) card on our 486 machine. I went from an Atari 130XE, to no computer in 91, to that PC in 94. Talk about a change in technology! Also had CD-ROM and real SoundBlaster 16 card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serrameade6 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I just got something I wanted to get a long time ago, a Commodore PET 4016 in working order. It looks amazing next to the C64 and VIC 20, each with Commodore monitors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Disney Infinity 3.0 and it's playsets are currently REALLY cheap all over the interwebs right now. I'm buying in like it's a Star Wars game to start with. Never played any of the Infinity games before as Skylanders and then Lego Dimensions where pricey enough. Now that the starter is a whole $15 shipped I'm in Was also able to pick up Boba Fett at a local Dollarama store for $4. They had a couple others like Zeb and Ezra but I didn't grab them. Hoping the other local dollar stores have other figures. I recall seeing some for $3 at one of them before Xmas but I wasn't interested in buying until I got the base set the other day so cheap. If anyone finds a line on really cheap "Rise Against The Empire" playsets let me know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonGrafx-16 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I didn't have a 4-switch woodie yet. 49542321_10215465229838487_848808897740275712_o.jpg Better looking than mine. It was shipped in a box that was too small and without any padding. It was cracked on the right rear corner and it was also scratched to hell. I had to glue the corner back together. But a least it works. But this was 14 years ago back when I knew nothing about ebay refunds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 It's beautiful. Every man needs a good woodie! Oh for sure, though as time goes on it gets more and more difficult to keep it up like you used to. I hear there's ways to make it look just like it did way back when though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) I made my first gaming related purchase of 2019 this week, and it's one that I'm at pretty much maximum possible levels of excitement about! I've owned a couple AGS-101 backlit Game Boy Advance systems in the past but they both had Chinese reproduction shells and buttons and I really never cared for the cheap flimsy feeling of the shells and poorly cast buttons, so I eventually sold them and decided to keep an eye out for a pristine mint condition Indigo colored GBA with all original Nintendo parts that I could add a backlit screen to myself. After a good year or so of searching I finally found exactly what I was looking for! For $45 shipped I picked up a gem mint Indigo GBA with zero scratches anywhere on the system and all original Nintendo parts, plus the seller threw in a carrying case and a few equally mint condition games to go with the system. It feels absolutely glorious in my hands, solid and sturdy with nice smoothly cast and responsive buttons, and over the next few months I'll be upgrading it with an AGS-101 LCD screen, BennVenn Voltage Regulator for maximum screen brightness, Audio Amplifier kit from RetroModding.com, and an EverDrive GBA X5 fully loaded with every game I could ever possibly want to play for the Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Color, original Game Boy, NES, Game Gear, and Sega Master System. That's my gaming project for 2019! Edited January 4, 2019 by Jin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchevy Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I decided to go next gen for my first purchase of 2019. I hope I don’t turn into a 4K HDR snob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfleet Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Octopath Traveler finally went on sale, so snagged a copy at Target. While I was there, I took a stroll by the rest of the games, and scored Shenmue I & II out of the clearance bin for $9, and I had to take those pint glasses home!
