Drove junior to a birthday party at a laser tag place and spotted an #Outrun 2 #arcade.
There was also one of those fancy #JurassicPark machines.

Thanks, it's certainly worth a try.

That's very kind.πŸ‘
I live near Basel, Switzerland.

 

Saturday chores and I scored this #Iomega #ZipDrive at the recycling yard.πŸ₯³
I looked for the power supply, but it was nowhere to be found.πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
Going to try and find a compatible one.

Because it's basically a full fletched Easyflash cartridge. Overkill, I know but it's open source and only requires proper attribution.

 

Well, here we go again.
Production of next batch of #TimosCastle for the #Commodore #C64 has started.

Newest addition to the collection and my first and only game for the #SegaMarkIII is #AfterBurner.
I wonder if this is any good on 8bit.
The screenshot looks quite alright.

That's correct, it's featuring a SID chip and a special VIC-II variant that is using SRAM. It was supposed to be released in Germany as VIC-10, but never made a release outside Japan. I have two of them, but none with this kind of box.

I'm well aware of the Max Machine, it was the direct ancestor to the C64 and I have repaired a few myself.
It's just that I never saw one in a C64 box format. Usually the MaxMachine boxes are more square.

Thank you so much for the mention, it's a real honor to be on your list of recommended accounts. Hope people find my content interesting.

 

I'm totally intrigued by this #Commodore #MaxMachine on an auction site.
It comes in a box that I have never seen before and which is absolutely unusual for this model.😍
Seems to be from an era shortly before the #C64.

Got this lovely little #Mercedes #Commodore model car today. It's in H0 scale 1:87 (the most common model train size).

Newest addition to the collection is #DayOfTheTentacle for #Xbox one.
This is a big box collector's edition, so I'll probably not open it and download it again to play.
On the other hand it's hard to resist and I'd really like to see that fake barf.πŸ˜…

Newest addition to the collection is #Popeye for the #Commodore #C64.
It's still in It's original wrapping, so I'm conflicted whether to open it or not.
I'll probably try it on the emulator first.

Well, this happened.
I'm usually not too much into handhelds, but the #Anbernic rg35xx h is an awesome little device that even rocks #RetroArch.
Bonus: It runs my favourite shmup #Ordyne.πŸ₯³

Some awesome person created the schematics for a 5 button joystick on the #Commodore64.
He also modded a whole lot of games to work on the #C64GS.
Thanks dude (or dudette), it's like Christmas and Easter coming together!πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

Newest addition to the collection is #CarrierAces for the #SuperNintendo. An airplane dogfighting simulation.
It comes with a detailed manual containing tactical advice.
I miss the times when games came with a real manual.
Paid €20 for it.

Newest addition to the collection is #Zool for the #SegaMegadrive from #electronic_arts.
Sadly it's missing its manual, but I think I'll get by without it.

Not that I know of, it's pretty much hit and miss, most of the time.

It was at GΓ€upark in Egerkingen.

I remember that one. Brilliant game. I wish Parasol Stars would have made it on the C64.

Yes, and this is even a special version for the CDTV.
But if you're cool with an external solution I'd probably recommend the Unijoysticle (Amiga version).

It's indeed quite odd.
It even gets weirder, there was a data recorder (datasette) that could be plugged into the keyboard for loading and saving programs.
Strangely enough the use of a disk drive prevents the use of family basic because it occupies the cartridge port.

That is indeed a beauty.😍
Reminds me of some MSX machines.
