87GT Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 My grandparents are getting to the point in their life when they are giving a lot of stuff they have away. I got my grandpa's old commodore computers. I have 2 c64 and 1 c128. It is a weird feeling owning the first computer I ever used. Better yet it still works! Haven't seen this since I was 3-6 years old. I used to play the games on it so many hours. I need to get a hookup for the 2nd monitor on the right to work. Fear my 1200 baud modem ! 1. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r250/trowabarton420/c128/DSCN1211.jpg 2. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r250/trowabarton420/c128/DSCN1212.jpg 3. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r250/trowabarton420/c128/DSCN1213.jpg 4. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r250/trowabarton420/c128/DSCN1205.jpg 5. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r250/trowabarton420/c128/DSCN1206.jpg 6. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r250/trowabarton420/c128/DSCN1209.jpg 7. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r250/trowabarton420/c128/DSCN1207.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 My first computer was an Atari 1040ST, and I would kill to have that computer again. I got it in the when I was in first grade (1995ish) as a hand me down from my uncle. It was sweet, although I didnt know how to do anything on it but play Gunship and Space Quest II.

Guest nismopc Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 First it was the TI-99/4a with cassette drive then it was a Atari 800XL with 5 1/4" floppy and 1200 baud modem. I still have both of them in their original boxes with manuals and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Atari computers own. Speaking of Ataris I have a working Atari 2600 and lots of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Speaking of the Atari 2600, you can buy one of those Atari Flashback systems, and make a little adapter for them to play the old 2600 games! Seems like it might be a cool project to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 NO play on the actual console! My point was, if you dont already have one, you could do that. 2600's are spensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 They are worth the price for sure. Save your pennies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
