  1. A little shelfie for this Saturday. Now all I am missing is the box and manual for Summer Games, as I have the cartridge. Maybe in another few years, I might get lucky again 😄. Cheers!

  2. Playing Blue Max like Bob Polin intended. Very different from the C64 version I grew up with in some ways (not only looks, but also controls), but extremely enjoyable.

  3. And it works! Perfectly! Keyboard, joystick and all! Self tests passed 100 per cent. The lightguns aim is crap, but that was known. Built-in Missile Command is absolutely great!

  4. This rig should allow me to play lightgun games on #NES, #SNES, #MasterSystem, #Megadrive, #Atari7800 and #AtariXEGS, and maybe an AY-3-8500 "#Pong" clone console too.

    And it's only taken me 14 years since we moved here to get this sorted...

    If I really want to, I can run cables over from #PS1 / 2, #Dreamcast, #Saturn. But I don't really fancy those games on a 14" screen!

  5. My left-field opinion on the best looking console ever is this brutal monstrosity - the #AtariXEGS. Largely forgotten, it came at the tail end of the Atari 8-bit life and did nothing much of note.

    Apart from look stunning, that is!

    I just love the weird juxtaposition between the stark industrial lines and the delicate pastel shade buttons. I find the gaping cartridge slot somehow daunting and inviting at the same time...

    It looks somehow futuristic and also terribly old fashioned. I love it!

  6. Atari XEGS, mi única consola de videojuegos de 8 bits, con joystick original y SDrive-MAX 😍🕹️
