The first Macintosh. Not many computers are this legendary or can make the claim that even being from 1984 its direct descendants are still sold today. But is it worth buying one to a games collector? The Insanely Great Apple Macintosh 128 Computer System Thanks to Killgruz for assistance and inspiration!

Sometimes you just need a good ol’ action platform game to unwind. Mostly these were stuck in 16-bit console land, but not Jill! One of the earlier games with a female action protagonist, Jill is not to be missed. Jill of the Jungle Trilogy for MS-DOS PCs Also includes a little info on “Jill-inspired” games, like Onesimus, Xargon and Vinyl Goddess From Mars.

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.

Action platform games for DOS weren’t exactly too common before Epic and Apogee. Imagine my surprise when I found Zeliard from Sierra, developed in ‘87 by Game Arts! Zeliard… get into it. Zeliard for MS-DOS PCs, played on a Tandy 1000 RL/HD

Review from the perspective of a casual collector of video games: is the first “PC”, the IBM 5150, worth buying today? A run-down of the history, pros and cons of the system and games, what to look for and be aware of when buying, as well as some of the other 8-bit computers and revisions in the 5150 lineage. MS-DOS has never been so fine.
