I bought my first* Playstation 2 in 2023
It's been 22 years in the mighty PS2 arrived on the scene, so I figured it was time to finally see what all the fuss was about.

Sega's first foray into the world of computers was the SC-3000, based on their console of the time, the SG-1000. Unsurprisingly for the day, it's limited to either RF or (poor) composite video. But we can do better!

    The Atari 800 was not cheap because it was built like a tank; literally. I love many retro consoles and computers, but the original holds a very sweet place in my heart. There isva big upgrade path for the 800, which I have purchased, but jot added yet.

    Because the disk controller is _not_ built-in, there are some restrictions on what it can do - essentially, a cartridge based floppy addon has to remain compatible with MSX-1, and because of that, the ROM's used reflect that too, which is why some disk games wont work (basically they are v1 Disk ROMs) - _internal_ floppy controller, totally different story, also usually _not_ v1 Disk ROMs

    There are some spectacular games in the CPC homebrew scene, which is still very much alive. There are plenty of tools and tutorials around as well, and programming the CPC is a lot of fun.

    You can tell this Speccy didn't belong to urchins. The lack of finger gravy on the dead flesh keys could only mean the owner was conscious of personal hygiene. My old Speccy was filthy. I cleaned it in 2016 and instantly regretted removing its unique patina. All that dirty history lost.
