I have unsynchronized video clips that I'll attach, but I was able to get the actual gameplay for Paperboy showing 16 colors for #PCjr. The options screen eludes me (attached in a reply). I suppose there may be a way to just show the CGA options screen if I can't solve this odd criss-cross pattern.
I should also get MartyPC working for local debugging, because DOSBox-X is not working for me in PCjr mode at all.

I will try to (safely) make this available to all, and I would like to do further testing, but here we are in the game proper, things looking nice!

I think I fixed Ultima 4 for the #PCjr so it works in 16 color mode without the black horizontal bar striping. Huh.

Another fun project for the day. I'm debugging this PCjr which won't boot - no POST, not even a beep.
It looks like the 8284A chip is not toggling the RESET pin on the 8088, so it doesn't run. I replaced a capacitor that feeds the 8284A but that had no effect. I can get the machine to boot if I pull the reset line low by hand. (Composite output is corrupted but RGB output is fine.)
I just need to find a source for 8284A chips. It looks like used is the only option.

more exceptional 50s style modern art on the cover of this 1983 ibm pcjr game by nasir gebelli of apple ii/final fantasy fame
ibm's in-house artist uncredited, sadly.
one nice touch of humanity in the illustration is the ink overdraw on the far right side, where the artist ran a ruled line from the bottom up to the hypotenuse of the cheese. these tiny "imperfections" add detail, flavour and warmth to what might otherwise be sterile design.

What does it take for 640k of RAM on a #pcjr with IBM sidecars? Five of them. One for extra power, and 4 128k RAM expansions.
