System 80/Video Genie/PMC-80 Reminiscences


From , Penrith, NSW, Australia (1st April, 2007)...

Meteor Mission was my favourite game by a long way. We bought our System 80 in February 1982. Eventually expanding its 16k up to 32k by following a memory piggy-back modification plan published in Electronics Australia magazine.

My old System 80 died in late 1984 following a major Sydney thunderstorm - so we then converted to a Commodore 64, which went on to be our favourite machine - however the System 80 started it all for us :)

I still have a manual for the old Microsoft Assembler for the TRS80/System80 somewhere in the garage!
