Not even Atari/Sanyo was first. I also guess that neither Magnavox is, but they had the model 4305 in 1976 that had pong build in.

Well in the Netherlands we have the Royal family as our head of state. So every year we are celebrating his birthday. We all dress in orange cloths, do all kinds of old Dutch games, go cycling and have a lot of fleamarkets.Have a look here http://stuffdutchpeoplelike.com/2014/04/25/no-58-kings-day-koningsdag/

Today it's kingsday. A great day with lots and lots of fleamarkets. Usually i go to a few of them because it's the best day in the year to score great stuff in the wild. Today no exception. I wanted to visit 2 since we are on holiday, but the weather on our island was bad, so we traveled to the other island because it was dry there. Although there where only a few people putting stuff out because of the weather i got very lucky. One stand had a lot of cd-i stuff, and i finally got Zelda Adventure for 1 euro. All games where a euro. Sadly arcade classics is case only. But the rest is complete.

45 is high for sure, but you don't see them that much. Here in the Netherlands you see a lot of c64 and msx stuff, hardly any cpc464 (my first computer). The speccy did oke, but you don't see them very much. I could have had a better deal, but shipping or gas to pick the stuff up would make the difference less. I thought the case would also be a nice bonus. Couldn't find any info on the web about this one. The printer was included, the system works, looks like new. I think it is one of the 48ks with defective memory sold as a 16k. There is some poke test and the result of that test gives 127, a number related to those units. The microdrives where brand new and empty. Typed in part of a program and saved it to the drive. And it works without problem. I only have one problem. I was typing in a listing and there is a END statement that i have to type in, but i cannot find the right key combo. So any help with this is great.

Today i went to a local thriftshop and i noticed a nice plastic case with a very destinctif rainbow patern on top. I opened the case and there was a zx spectrum with interface 1, and a microdrive with 5 tapes inside. Picked it up for 45 euro.

Living in msx country. Hardware isn't very hard to come by. But games, espescially konami rom games, are expensive. But konami games alone are worth owning a msx. Most konami games started there live on the msx. The msx version of metal gear is beter then the nes version imho. Also castelvania, started on the msx as vampire killer.

Found this keyboard today at a local thriftshop. Sadly no system, could use a atari st. Picked it up since you hardly see any atari st stuff here.

I was really into flightsims back then. Played knigts of the sky heroes of the 357th and a10 for hours. Added a quickshot masterpilot to my pc when i came accross it back int the day, together with programmer and extra rom pack. Made me feel like i was really flying.

I play on a lot of different systems. But i play my msx2 the most. Since getting it i added a usb flashdrive reader to replace the broken floppy disk. Also made a cable so i can use standard atari compatible joysticks on my msx2. And made a rgb cable.

I think that the used the rounded top of ps3 to prevent people putting stuff ontop of it. I see a lot of people putting consoles like the ps3 or xbox360 inside a cupboard and placing stuff on top of it. This is bad for the system since it cannot get rid of it's heat. Look at gaming pc's, they need lots of fans to keep it cool. You just can't place that many fans into a system that is suppost to be in the living room. Every tried watching a dvd on a first gen xbox360. U have to set your speakers very loud, if you don't want to hear the disc spinning.

Could be that the 74LS365N that control the joystick inputs are broken.

If some one is intrested in a pc3 found one for 25 euro. No keyboard or display, just the system. Isn't looking bad. Buyer lives in Belgium. http://www.marktplaats.nl/a/computers-en-software/desktop-pc-s/m1011516846-vintage-atari-pc3-computer.html?c=efb2ef4dc323389c4f92ed10afa33e3a&previousPage=lr

Armour force is a nice game. But due to the ghosting of the screen it's hard to play, just like the gameboy.

Blends in nice with the other funiture.

Must say Atari had the edge with the pc1 over the commodore pc-1. the graphics card was better. Ega over cga. Built in scsi. And an mouse driven gui within the package. Looks like i need to add a atari pc1 to my collection. These are such nice machines.

I don't think you can compare it only by looking at a picture. Does the character on screen respond without lag, does the screen flicker. Things you cannot see on a still frame.

New zealand uses 230v 50hz. So i guess you blew out the vectrex power supply. Don't know if it has a fuse.

Eh, deep shame, back when i was 16 or so i got a commodore cm8296. Tried cleaning it up and playing a bit with it, but then i didn't have intrest, so i trew it away. Also gave away a amiga 1000 that i thought didn't work, not knowing i had to use a kickstart disk on this machine. Gave away 3 ibm ps/2 386 with mca cards. Sold my near mint complete in box gamegear and games. And trew away a philips :yes a 80186 pc. Didn't work and i didn't try fixing it. Also got rid of my adlib compatible 8 bit soundcard, and my original 12mb voodoo 2. I also had a big collection of 8088, 8086 and compatible processors. Think i also trew them away. Sad sad very sad when i think about it.

I'm happy that i was old enough to enjoy the start of the 8 bit machines. It was so cool to go to friends and play their computer. Since there was a lot of choice, you came in touch with a lot of different systems. Not the borring stuff we have today, with pratically only one hardware platform, the x86 platform. I do enjoy playing emulators, but i love the feel of the real stuff. Loading tapes and playing with floppy's. Or even typing in code to play on my zx81.

I really don't know, or care. I love every little system i own. And can't say any of them are worst. I like the systems as they are. Even the least favorit system has something that makes it unique in my opition. But it's all about personal taste. I love my cd-i system, it get more game play then my nes and snes combined together. Doesn't mean the nes or snes are bad, but i just love systems that wheren't mainstream.

I only got 2 cartridge games: ms. Pac-man from atarisoft. And After the war from dinamic. Cartridge games where not populair over here in the netherlands, since tape games where much cheaper.

Love those machines. I recently bought a commodore pc-1, the atari pc1 compatitor. Don't know if the atari pc1 was compatible with atari st pheriperals, could be since a atari st floppy drive isn't that much different from a pc drive. The commodore pc-1 could use amiga pheriperals. I used a amiga cd1411 diskdrive on my pc-1 so i could use 3.5" dd disk with the system. You can also connect a amiga mouse to the pc-1. Here is a German article on both the commodore pc-1 and atari pc1 http://cbmmuseum.kuto.de/gal-cbm_pc1-images-gal-tests-data_welt-pc1_vs_pc1-01.jpg.html

I picked up a ps/2 tower back in the day that had mca. It had a mca hdd controller, mca graphics card. Ran os/2 warp 4.0 on it. It was a nice system. When i moved i gave them to a friend of mine (also had 2 desktop ps/2 systems.) Sadly, now i have place for them and would love to get them back, but he put the systems to the trash.

Can't remember if i did have a pc with vesa back in the day. I know they where expensive and soon replaced with pci bus. If i'm correct they where only used on 486 hardware. Currently i have a graphics card and a ide controller with vesa connectors. But cannot test them since i don't own a mb with vesa.
