Skipping over the Amigas I listed in the other thread and the modern PCs:

Sun Sparcstation 2 - includes a neat, rare memory extension card
Sun Sparcstation 4
Sun Sparcstation 5
Sun Sparcstation 10 - quad Ross processors (@100Mhz)

486 dx100 -

Still serves a purpose though - Feline data scope.

Mac Classic II on the way. Fully configured.
SGI Indigo on the way as well. Needs some work I was told.

I wish I kept some of my old computers... C64, TI99-4A, original IBM PC (the Tallgrass HD tape unit I had would have been neat too). Cest le vie.

14 September 2002, 23:32

OK, here's my poxy little list:

2 * Amiga 500's with 1 meg.

1 * A1200 in Power Tower Case (plain vanilla A1200 - except for HD - ready to upgrade with all mod cons).

1 * PII-450 with Windoze XP Pro & 1024 meg RAM. 180 gig storage.

1 * Playstation

I'm not sure if the "computers" below count, but they all have games !

1 * Sony Clie (Palm)
1 * Nokia 8210
1 * Nokia 3210

It makes my list a little bigger anyhow

Shatterhand · 18 September 2002, 03:27

I have never considered me a "collector", as I don´t have much hardware stuff... but now I am getting into, so I´ll post my current collection, and with luck it will be bigger in the following months

Atari 2600 - Non working, easy to fix
A500 - non working, completely fucked up

A600 - non working too
3 MSXs (Gradiente Expert models... one is a 1.0 , other is a 1.1 and other is a 2.1 (MSX 2+) )
My girffriend´s Mega-Drive

A recently brought Sega Saturn that´s not at home yet

And I want to get my hands in a Vic-20... I have a teacher who owns one, and I first thought about getting it and selling or give it away, but now I want to keep it

Oh, and I have a P233 MMX , if it counts

child of Thor · 19 September 2002, 18:39

Hi,

My collection is small but i loved every one:

ZX81[1982] +16k ram pack(oh those wobbles!)[1983]
Last known use coffe mat and then frisbie[1984ish] DOA

Atari 800XL[1986?] 64k and a suped-up 5.25 disk drive.
Cool games - Joust, Alternate Reality ,wizard of wor etc.
Last saw daylight 1993, it may still work? MIA

Amiga 600[1990] no HD but i had a load of top games!
Speedball2(killed 3 joysticks),SWOS,F1 grandprix etc.
I think i sold it to a friend or it's in storage somewhere? MIA

Amiga 1200(1995) +640MbHD.
Later added an Apollo 1230 card+16MB.half alive as i'm about to loose all the data on my harddrive

. Although all my disk games work fine

Takes pride of place next to my new......

XBOX - yeah i joined the console playing world.(My Miggy still wins hands down). It will be interesting to see what the non FPS/raceing games will be like on this platform.

IanS · 19 September 2002, 18:50

Ah... those wobbles were so infuriating. 20 minutes to load Sorcerers' Island and one key press to lose it all!

Anybody remember "The Eidelon" on the Atari 8 bits or "Rescue on Fractulus" with the fractal landscapes? A brilliant game! Oh and "Ballblazer"... the last two were by Lucasfilm if I remember correctly. I have two drawers full of original Atari tapes and disks. Wonder if they still work?

child of Thor · 20 September 2002, 14:00

IanS,
yeah great games and a great platform for it's time! It was actually scary when the pilot turned into a 'lizard-man' as you picked him up(Rescue on Fract'). Still the Amiga has some great games too

[just don't say you liked any of the zx81 games!

]

RetroMan · 20 September 2002, 14:47

Yay

I´ve just added an Atari 600XL to my collection and I may get an 800XL and an 130XE this weekend

20 September 2002, 15:02

wow, someone else with a sam coupe
my collection is very small compared to you lot but i like it non the less
PC : athlon 1 gig
Sam coupe 256k 1 floppy
a500 no psu
psx
atari jaguar
used to have a speccy+ and a1200 with blizzard accelerator
Although its nice having all the original gear, I think the PC is the best cos you can have all the other machines in emulated form, not all are perfect yet but its getting there.

I've been playing the Sega Master System version of Ultima IV with the emulator "mastergear" on my Amiga at the moment

Emulation without the involvement of a PC

I always wanted one of those 130XE's - 128K!!! if you like rpg's get 'alternate reality- the city/and or -the dungeon' and prepare to be absorbed for months! they were tough games, but very rewarding

Once my amiga is working again(a tragic tale!) i'll see if i can find my old 800XL!

IanS · 20 September 2002, 21:08

@child of Thor

I loved the music on the Alternate Reality - the city, but I couldn't get anywhere on the game itself. Basically 'cos I'm crap at games. I want a 130XE too.

The lizard man in Rescue on Fractulas scared the pooh out of me every time! I actually liked 3D Monster Maze and 3D Defender on the ZX81.

Amazing what they could do with 16k.

Who liked the origiginal Mercenary on the Atari?

I forgot to mention my Apple Mac IIsi in the list. I'm getting a Mac 6320 (PPC 603e) soon, and by next week I should have an Oregon Osaris (Psion 5 clone) too. Lovely

23 November 2002, 15:33

A Sega Master System II has just been added to my collection!

I was at a "second hand electronics bazaar" this morning and I were about to get a spectrum as well but it was raining and you can guess the rest. I told the seller that the speccy was getting wet and wouldn't work and he replied: "then dry it before using"

Luckily I found a dry SMS for 1.5$

Shatt, what's the problem with your Amigas?

RetroMan · 23 November 2002, 19:37

Just wanted to add, that I just got a Commo C16 with 48KB Ram Expansion for 2 Euro

Shatterhand · 23 November 2002, 21:14

The A500 is completely fucked up. It would be a waste of time to try to do anything with it.

The A600 had a defective disk-drive that was fucking up the disks. After changing the drive, the problem remained, and there was no one who know how to fix it here. After sometime, turning it on would show only a white screen and nothing more.

Thosebig white power boxes (I dunno how they are called in english), I believe they aren't working too (Neither the A500 or the A600 one)

RetroMan · 12 February 2003, 12:58

Another nice piece of Commo Hardware hit the rooms of RetroMan yesterday

I gave it to myself as a birthday gift .... damn I love this baby

Unknown_K · 12 February 2003, 14:07

So thats what a CDTV looks like

IanS · 12 February 2003, 16:26

Always fancied a CDTV... but never got round to it. Still, I've now got my Oregon Osaris and a smart little Sony Clie. Both are pretty smart devices.

Oh my god... I'm becoming a TECHNO GEEK! Help!!!!!

Unknown_K · 12 February 2003, 16:39

Does the cd32 play both cd32 and cdtv games? Also whats a A1200 need to plat them?

Akira · 12 February 2003, 17:38

Yep the CD32 would play CDTV software, albeit with the problems running old software in ugraded hardware might bring.

The A1200 needs a CD Drive to run CDTV games. That's all.

* Means it's currently hooked up and playable. (Gotta love switch boxes)

Edit: Forgot about my Saturn(s) and backup units

Daz · 13 February 2003, 04:05

Don't ever forget the Saturn! where would I be without it? I mean it's home 2D heaven along with my neo geo!

I have quite a lot of your list but can't be arsed writing them all down (although my second xbox is dead - only reads music so its a big mp3 player atm), but I havn't any backup units - I'm desperate for the NGPC Backup Unit!

The miracle is most of them are hooked up at the same time - and im sick to death of RGB - why can you not have a 5in1 rgb scart that display correctly??! I have to unplug all the other rgb scart leads to get a stable undisturbed picture, and the main culprits? Nintendo - they point blank refuse to have anything plugged in at the same time.

This has turned into a rant, ahem, and whats with the stupid Gamecube powerpack its far........

adolescent · 13 February 2003, 04:14

Yes, the saturn is hot, especially if you're a Capcom fan. The 4M RAM card games were perfect.

And I forgot the handheld units. I do have a Bung GBX, Pocket Linker, and a GBA Flash Advance Writer. But, I guess I was thinking more old school.

Also, here in the US we don't have the RGB problem. Well, maily because it's nearly impossible to get a TV with SCART inputs. So, I'm using S-Video only.

Oh well, my TV is trash anyway so I don't see the difference anyway.

Daz · 13 February 2003, 04:30

I feel for all the people that can't get RGB - it really does make all the difference.

I spent along time on Ebay sourcing all the retro console RGB leads, (I especially love the Mk1 Megadrive RGB lead as you have to plug the lead into the headphone port on the front

).

It's ironic that the only Pal console I have that is not RGB or can be modified to output RGB is the N64, whereas the NTSC versions CAN be modified to.

I ask ya!

Hah, that is funny. But, I don't think even RGB can make a N64 look good!

I think you can add the RGB support back in, check out www.gamesx.com they have some info.

Someday I'll get enough nerve to get a XRGB-2 and a nice large HDTV monitor to play it on. Until then, I'm stuck in S-video hell. At least the modern systems have component video options.

BTW, I've got a good collection of older systems modified for S-video. Including the X-Eye and the 7800 I'm working on now, so at least I'm getting away from RF and composite outputs at least.

Daz · 13 February 2003, 07:57

Thanks for the link but I checked a long time ago and they're has never been a way to modify a pal N64 to output RGB, they once said "try if you find the right combination tell us!".

No-one ever did, so i tried and now i have 4 n64's, 1 Ltd Ed Clear black one (the one only available to peeps who bought the 64DD

), one working Pal and two fried ones!!

Don't ask how I managed to blow the tube on my test portable either tv either - I really don't know how or why it did!

IanS Registered User Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Nottingham England Posts: 207	Ah... those wobbles were so infuriating. 20 minutes to load Sorcerers' Island and one key press to lose it all! Anybody remember "The Eidelon" on the Atari 8 bits or "Rescue on Fractulus" with the fractal landscapes? A brilliant game! Oh and "Ballblazer"... the last two were by Lucasfilm if I remember correctly. I have two drawers full of original Atari tapes and disks. Wonder if they still work?

child of Thor Registered User Join Date: Sep 2002 Location: London Posts: 24	IanS, yeah great games and a great platform for it's time! It was actually scary when the pilot turned into a 'lizard-man' as you picked him up(Rescue on Fract'). Still the Amiga has some great games too [just don't say you liked any of the zx81 games!]

IanS Registered User Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Nottingham England Posts: 207	@child of Thor I loved the music on the Alternate Reality - the city, but I couldn't get anywhere on the game itself. Basically 'cos I'm crap at games. I want a 130XE too. The lizard man in Rescue on Fractulas scared the pooh out of me every time! I actually liked 3D Monster Maze and 3D Defender on the ZX81. Amazing what they could do with 16k. Who liked the origiginal Mercenary on the Atari? I forgot to mention my Apple Mac IIsi in the list. I'm getting a Mac 6320 (PPC 603e) soon, and by next week I should have an Oregon Osaris (Psion 5 clone) too. Lovely

oldpx Posts: n/a	A Sega Master System II has just been added to my collection! I was at a "second hand electronics bazaar" this morning and I were about to get a spectrum as well but it was raining and you can guess the rest. I told the seller that the speccy was getting wet and wouldn't work and he replied: "then dry it before using" Luckily I found a dry SMS for 1.5$

Shatterhand Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2001 Location: Brazil Age: 30 Posts: 1,637	The A500 is completely fucked up. It would be a waste of time to try to do anything with it. The A600 had a defective disk-drive that was fucking up the disks. After changing the drive, the problem remained, and there was no one who know how to fix it here. After sometime, turning it on would show only a white screen and nothing more. Thosebig white power boxes (I dunno how they are called in english), I believe they aren't working too (Neither the A500 or the A600 one)

12 February 2003, 17:38	#70
Akira Registered User Join Date: May 2001 Location: # Posts: 12,584	Yep the CD32 would play CDTV software, albeit with the problems running old software in ugraded hardware might bring. The A1200 needs a CD Drive to run CDTV games. That's all. Retroman: lucky whore

Daz Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2002 Location: Blackburn Age: 31 Posts: 174	Don't ever forget the Saturn! where would I be without it? I mean it's home 2D heaven along with my neo geo! I have quite a lot of your list but can't be arsed writing them all down (although my second xbox is dead - only reads music so its a big mp3 player atm), but I havn't any backup units - I'm desperate for the NGPC Backup Unit! The miracle is most of them are hooked up at the same time - and im sick to death of RGB - why can you not have a 5in1 rgb scart that display correctly??! I have to unplug all the other rgb scart leads to get a stable undisturbed picture, and the main culprits? Nintendo - they point blank refuse to have anything plugged in at the same time. This has turned into a rant, ahem, and whats with the stupid Gamecube powerpack its far........

adolescent Powered by Motorola Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: Redondo Beach, CA Posts: 1,056	Yes, the saturn is hot, especially if you're a Capcom fan. The 4M RAM card games were perfect. And I forgot the handheld units. I do have a Bung GBX, Pocket Linker, and a GBA Flash Advance Writer. But, I guess I was thinking more old school. Also, here in the US we don't have the RGB problem. Well, maily because it's nearly impossible to get a TV with SCART inputs. So, I'm using S-Video only. Oh well, my TV is trash anyway so I don't see the difference anyway.

Daz Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2002 Location: Blackburn Age: 31 Posts: 174	I feel for all the people that can't get RGB - it really does make all the difference. I spent along time on Ebay sourcing all the retro console RGB leads, (I especially love the Mk1 Megadrive RGB lead as you have to plug the lead into the headphone port on the front ). It's ironic that the only Pal console I have that is not RGB or can be modified to output RGB is the N64, whereas the NTSC versions CAN be modified to. I ask ya!

Daz Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2002 Location: Blackburn Age: 31 Posts: 174	Thanks for the link but I checked a long time ago and they're has never been a way to modify a pal N64 to output RGB, they once said "try if you find the right combination tell us!". No-one ever did, so i tried and now i have 4 n64's, 1 Ltd Ed Clear black one (the one only available to peeps who bought the 64DD ), one working Pal and two fried ones!! Don't ask how I managed to blow the tube on my test portable either tv either - I really don't know how or why it did!
