a great selection of reference books for the PET/CBM computer :-

1. Programming the PET/CBM -- The Reference Encylopedia for Commodore PET & CBM
Users, by Raeto Collin West. 504 pp.
The PET "Bible", in my view.

2. The PET Revealed, by Nick Hampshire. 185 pp.
In-depth description of the PET hardware, with full circuit details.

3. PET/CBM Personal Computer Guide, second edition, by Adam Osborne and Carroll Donahue.
500pp. Particular emphasis on programming and the peripheral devices

4. Commodore BASIC Version 4.0, by Commodore Business Machines. 148 pp. NB. a photocopy.

5. COMPUTE!'s First Book Of PET/CBM, by COMPUTE! Books. 243 pp. NB. a photocopy.
A collection of many useful tips on all aspects of the PET/CBM, by experts in the field at that
time (1981), especially Jim Butterfield.

Just won on ebay an a500 motherboard not working for parts, should show up next week

LuMan · 13 May 2016, 10:29

@Klokwirk - good haul. We used PETs back in 1984, when I was learning O-Level computer studies at school! Despite them being a bit clunky and heavy, I loved them. I remember cutting my 6502 machine-code teeth on them.

...I'm gonna dig out my old Vic=20 now

Since we're mentioning vaguely-Amiga-related things, I recently bought Satellite Reign for the PC. It's the spiritual successor to Syndicate, and so far I've only played a few hours but I'm very impressed! well worth a look if you were a Syndicate fan back in the day.

Thanks for sharing, added to wishlist...

More Game Arrivals!

Commodore 64:

All complete except Buck Rogers, missing the Book but ordered an exact copy for a tenner

Amiga:

Only issue is Deuteros is the GERMAN version

Should have checked before buying!! I know he game is E/F/G but anyone want to swap for a decent ENGLISH version so I get an English manual?

Retrofan · 15 May 2016, 00:30

I can send you a german to greek and greek to english dictionary if it helps

You know what? I'd rather set fire to my head and put it out with a sledgehammer than take you up on your offer

Cpt. Hindsight · 15 May 2016, 07:52

I've never seen one in orange before and €25 for a GBA in very good condition is a real bargain. This is already my third gear by Nintendo although I didn't like them at all back then.

Shadow of the Beast - PS4 Digital release,

Can't wait for the 8gb download to finish. Looking forward to playing the Amiga version on the big screen.

And you could not do that before??

Wish you at least wanted to play playable game, not SOTB...

Too true, stick to the PS4 title, the Amiga game sucks

BarryB · 20 May 2016, 23:52

Arrived today: Pool Of Radiance C64, complete and in very good condition, all disks dumped without errors

Retrofan · 21 May 2016, 00:37

English or german version? Do you want my dictionary?

LOL. Good game!

BarryB · 21 May 2016, 00:44

Es ist nicht Deutsch, es ist auf jeden Fall Englisch

I don't think you can translate "mande" to english with the google translator. Well, you can translate it as "what?" from a village man.

BarryB · 21 May 2016, 01:32

Google KNOWS EVERYTHING, even how to make you speak your own language

Retrofan · 21 May 2016, 02:54

So well, just to say that Pool of Radiance has to be an expensive game. I've heard a lot about it (never played though

).

Edit: Now that you like this kind of Commodore 64 games, have you seen these videos? [ Show youtube player ]

BarryB · 21 May 2016, 14:37

Funny Vid, never been late from playing games though!

More C64 Disks:

Complete and all disks dumped fine!

Box a bit scruffy, all contents in good condition and all disks dumped fine! Some stuff missing like registration card/warranty card/catalogue but for a fiver!! Cluebook was a tenner!
