Tandy 1000 Computer System Review - Lazy Game Reviews

July 27th, 2010

Review from the perspective of a somewhat casual collector: is the 1000 series worth collecting today? A run-down of the history, pros and cons of the systems and games, what to look for and be aware of when buying. The PCjr may have failed, by Tandy? Tandy ruled. There are functions I wanted to talk about but ran out of time, like the ability to run in Hercules mode, further Deskmate and TL-related features and the upgrade options, but alas. Lots more information and troubleshooting at: www.oldskool.org LHX Attack Chopper Lemmings Out Run Thexder Firehawk Zeliard Arkanoid Also check out the Maxis games of the time, the Tandy versions are spectacular - SimCity, SimEarth, SimAnt etc
