I _used_ to have more of this stuff when I was a kid, but four boys in
a house are not easy on consumer electronics... (we played a Tank game
to death - first breaking the joysticks (which i fixed as a kid), then
wearing out the fire buttons (which I also replaced), and finally
killing the electronics. Wish I could find another one of those.
I currently have only a few things of this nature:
- Magnavox Odessey 1 (and a box of parts - my original one died when I
was a teenager and was summarily stripped)
- Atari Lynx (not sure I or II, but I have a couple and at least two
copies of Xenophobe for linked play)
- RCA Studio II (and 4 carts I just got at the Dayton ComputerFest)
No Atari 2600 or Coleco or any of the other cool stuff from the old
days. 8-bit Ninetendo and Sega Genesis and the like are too new to
be interesting.
The cool part about what I do have is that each one is special in its
own way - the Magnavox, as most of you probably know, is analog. The
Lynx is an early color hand-held, created by former Amiga guys, and is
6502-based (one of my favorite processors). The Studio-II has an 1802
inside, one of my other favorite processors. I've heard of a home-computer
kit for the Studio II and someone (perhaps on this list) promised to
send me copies of the info, but it's never materialized.
