slotsmagic Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 I remember Tandy, the shop, and I think they used Radioshack as their own brand? We were a Speccy household though. From the parent's original ZX81 (although apparently dad did also have a Dragon32 at some point?) up to my last 128K+2a. Did have a PC too, which I believe was a 286, it only had a 20MB HDD but we ran games off floppy anyway 1 Currently owned digitals : T7 Encore, T7 Original, Astra iPub and Storm Street Casino. MFME cabinets : Genesis cab DIY by No1Stoney, Interplay conversion and Vegas Strip conversion (both are works in progress!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Sevens Posted November 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) I was unlucky enough to start with a Philips G7000 Videopac like a square fighting another square haha then a Commodore 16 and Commodore +4 playing games from Gremlin Graphics. My first pc was a 386 40mb hd which was the size of two modern day hard drives..... The Centre for Computing History - Computer and Video Game Museum - Cambridge friends had a spectrum, commodore 64 and an Oric Atmos. At the last Blackpool play expo there was a guy there who had made the dragons lair game run on a zx81 how i have no idea 1k of memory 16k with the ram pack how the heck did games run .lol .Home - PLAY Expo Blackpool Edited November 24, 2020 by Simon Sevens forgott "S" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle64 Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 I remember having to send customers to tandy when they came in to the store for electrical stuff and having to explain "electronics boutique" is just a name, we don't sell electronics, just video games. years later we got a maplins next door, but it wasn't the same.
