My daughter would love that. She's been watching some retro Nintendo stuff on YouTube with a few friends and they all seem to be into the retro stuff (at least the physical look). One of the friends has a red game boy colour which is in surprising good nick - he brought it over and I'm amazed I was ever so impressed with such a tiny screen. Like looking at a Nokia 3210.
They had pretty much every mainstream retro console from Sega, Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony but thought I would post the more obscure stuff here. Nonetheless I did like the above cabinet. Reminded me again what a work of art the Gameboy Micro was/is. Wish I still had one with a few carts.
That was awkward and unsettling, never post anything like it again.
We had the Apple IIe in school when I was 14-15yo. So that was around '79-80. Quite ahead of the game given I was at a humble secondary school (non-grammar). Wrote my first computer program for it in Apple BASIC.
Remember playing a good port of Space Invaders on it. There was a version of Yahtzee on it that is still in my top 100 thread entry.
Played Vectrex when it was on display in Woolworths for several weeks.
Every time I hear the name Billy Mitchell I think of Eastenders. He should definitely be in that. Sitting in the caff, endlessly banging on about his high scores on the coin-op in the chippy.
The Motorola 68000 processor was the one I studied as part of my degree. Had an enormous instruction set. Its complexity probably prompted RISC processors but it was great old workhorse of a processor which is at the heart of many a later arcade game. In the Megadrive too.
