My retro game colletion

[Thunderbird98]

Hello, here are a few pictures of my retro game collection. I do have a Tandy TRS-80, but I didn't include that. It's not much and I only started collecting in 2017.

Neat collection. What kind of TRS-80 do you have?

It is a  model 4P, and I have a little backstory on it. I got it from a retired amateur radio operator who used it between 1984 and 1990. It came with a ton of software (this guy seemed to have updated his OS every time a new one came out), and a five-meg disk system hard drive. The hard drive has a key-lock power switch (I don't have the key but the lock is stuck in the ON position.) I don't know if the hard drive works, but I get a screen full of jumbled characters when I try to boot from it. The TRS-80 works though! I made a review on youtube of the TRS-80, you can watch it here:

Nice. Hold on, you're the guy that wanted to make the TRS-80 disks, right?

Have you checked if the contacts of whatever cable you're using to hook up that hard drive are clean? Although I wouldn't be surprised if it was completely broken.

Yes I am. I did try cleaning the cable contact points and got nothing. I'm still going to keep it though.
