System 80/Video Genie/PMC-80 Reminiscences


From Anonymous 2, Australia (1st September, 2004)...

variety). But I must take issue with the exclusion of "Santa Paravia and Fiumaccio" from the Favorite System 80 Games category. Alright, so maybe it's not one of your favourites, but c'mon! You could become a Lord! A Duke!

I notice it's even been ported to Windows...

I actually had my System-80 modified out at Nunawading Computers in Melbourne; there was some kind of EPROM added, but I have absolutely no idea now what it did or improved. Eventually I gave it away while at college. (I think the tape drive was close to dead anyway. At least, that's what I tell myself...)

Still, being able to run the MESS emulator is fun. It takes me back."
