Made a trip to the loft today and while there decided to take the camera and try to get some pictures of some of the machines.

These couple of pictures show the state of the loft. I dare not show you the OTHER end.... :)

I will work through the other images I have taken and upload some new console/computer artwork as I go along.

Here is some HQ Virtual Boy pics.

I have trimmed them as best I can. Sadly the background they were taken against is blue and this can be seen slighly affecting the colour of the red at the top.

Very nice collection there.

Great job Flash! I still think you should let us see the other side of the loft. :D

Little bit of a MESS.. Really must sort it out. There are some REAL treasures there... :)

Picture of MTX 512 (Tom :) ) and games... Oh and a damn Spectrum.

Thanks for that :)

About a year later I begged my parents to get me a C64 due to the games on the MTX. Bet you got one of those too :)

Did actually try to code Track & Field and Joust on the Memotech, when I was about ten. Obviously didnt finish them. Come on was only ten :)

I did get the running working in Track & Field, and the collision detection and main player sprite done in Joust.

No, I never got round to coding the mtx. I did code track and field on a HP-85 though and also made a joystick for it. :)

Do you remember the Camputers Lynx? Very few made and it died without a trace taking the company with it - shame realy. Great machine and it had a c64 beating 96k. Oh talking of C64's - heres another Picture. (Sadly SX64 is too blurry to trim)

(gonna run out of upload space soon :) )

Id have a real problem with a computer like that now. What with the ash, coffee stains and crumbs, I get through about 3 keyboards a year :)

I know what you mean! I DO get through many keyboards myself. At least with the humble PC you can replace them.

A picture for Tempest (I know you have a soft spot for the channel F) <snigger>

Channel F and Magnavox Odyssey.

I hope some of these pictures are of use to someone. They (some) may come in real handy for theme creation.

I love what the Odyssey 400/500 box says..."The Originator of Home Video Games".

Man... vintage stuff... VINTAGE!!!

Take pictures of the system boxes as well. It would be great if GameEx had an option to display the unit's box as well. I have a Sear Super Video Arcade box I can donate a picture of ... ;)

All the best,

That would be great if you could take a picture and up it. Don't worry about editing it, just make sure it is a hi-res as possible. And any other things you have got? All will be great.

I just got a bit sick searching for good quality pictures of consoles and computers.

Here are 3 more. The Laser 200 is a bit discoloured though sadly. Pleased with the Sharp MZ-700 and the NEC PC-FX. If you can find better pictures online - I would love to see them!

I have had enough of photoshop for one night. Lots more to do :) Will try to get a good picture of a Vectrex (and box).

If anyone else has some pictures of consoles/computer (not just vintage), Please share them - I am more than happy to do the editing if the source is fairly crisp!

TOM (sweety), can I have a little bit more upload space please... Only got 4 megs free :( (pretty please)

Done.

Thanks Tom.

I will have to think what to do with them when they get too many. There are LOADS more to do... I can't just keep filling the forum up :)

Don't know where else to put them though. That is if people do want them?

I remember the Lynx. And talking of C64 i remember at the time i nearly got a dragon instead of a C64, seem to remember it was supposed to be better spec than the C64 at about the same price but was hardly any support for it.

We can put them on the main site when there done. I am going to have to bite the bullet next year probably anyway and get a new server so I have more bandwidth. I like the idea of having a new database/info site for systems in the future, complete with all media and data, so you might want to work on that with me later on if your interested in a project like that.

I recall there was quite a good Donkey Kong port for the dragon. Although c64 Donkey Kong was a near perfect conversion. I had the version were the girl said 1001 (1001 cracking team) instead of Help!

I am always happy to help Tom.. You just let me know.

Belinda - Lucky for you that you got the C64. What a great machine that was - better than the Welsh dragon. :) The Dragon was FAR inferior and based on old Tandy technology. There were still some great games for it. Many more than the Lynx :(

Channel F and Magnavox Odyssey.

So that's what the channel F looks like...

I timed the Magnavox pic, it took 98 seconds for it to load. How long would it take to do a DB at that speed?

I barely have the patience to wait for the reply window to show up just to mess with you, but it is worth the wait... :P

BTW: Nice pics, and yes, keep them coming!

Ok, I can give a pic of the Sears Super Video Arcade unit and the box. An Intellivision box in good shape, as well as the Intellivoice box. I don't have anything else unfortunately, but I'm happy to contribute whatever I can.

Nice pictures Flash, it's like being a kid in a retro candy store :)

I have great memories with my old C64 and Amiga(s), still have my Amiga 1200. Do you have any old handhelds? I used to have an Atari Lynx which was really advanced in it's hay-day.

Yes, got nearly all the handhelds, Both Atari Lynxs, Neogeo, Game & Watch, PC engine GT, Gamegear, etc. Will get them done. Took a pic of the gamegear with tv tuner.

IMBerkerk: A pick of the sears would be great. Done a nice picture of the intellivoice (and box) though, Thanks - that would be great if you could send pics. Try not to get too much shadow or flash glare and I will do the rest. :)

Will try and do a few more today. Got a nice image of a zx80 (now that's RETRO).

Aye nice oldies.

I got a small collection including a nice Binatone TV Master MK 10 and an orange Tandy Space Invader game.

If you get a chance, please send some pictures (hi-res). The net is sadly lacking quality pictures. Thanks!!!
