It reflects well on David's audience that this comment's been up for an entire day without some pedant mentioning POKE53280,0 only changes the border colo[u]r or that black isn't a colo[u]r or that you can't spell color!!!!1!!
7:09 David, you hold in your hands a machine that's responsible for SO many anime fan subs back in the day. This is a huge part of western anime culture actually! a massive contributor to the actual dubbing as well as making the distribution of the medium on physical media possible, this machine was used by all fan subbers back then in Europe and North America and was instrumental in the anime subculture exploding in the west. A very important piece in audio-visual counter-culture! and in underground hobbys period
Those stickers gave me an idea: What if there was a line of shirts with those POKE commands on them that actually matched the background color in question? So you could get a Commodore 64 themed shirt in whatever your favorite color happens to be!
I live in Japan (and Im a subscriber to your wonderful channel as well as Davids) and see Maxs on yahoo auction all the time. Sometimes cheap but mostly way too expensive.
Oh - wow... I totally had flashbacks of that bar code reader / keyboard combo. There was a "piano store" in our local shopping mall, and they were probably 50% electronic keyboards in the early to mid-80s. This particular Casio model was on display front-and-center of the shop, just inside the entrance. As teens we'd amuse ourselves for as long as we could (until the guy working the store kicked us out) playing with the bar code reader and messing with the sounds on the keyboard. Blast from the past!!
I can totally appreciate. Most people are not aware of how long it really takes to package things. I run a small business so I making the stuff, package the stuff, answer emails, etc.... I spend a few hours each day just packaging.
If you want a laugh, someone simulated the Liberator in Kerbal Space Program, a powerful physics SIM with comical characters, to see what would happen if it existed in the real world. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B4yn_LsGfb0.html
@Joe Casson Worth a look if you're into late 70's Sci-fi, not to everyone's taste but the writing is excellent and the main characters deep and interesting without making the show a snoozefest. Early BBC sci-fi at it's best, completely different to the tat it comes out with nowadays. Pretty sure all episodes are on RU-vid.

Blakes7 - yeah my man - just finished rewatching this series for the third time in 30+ years. Hey with that Hantek Oscilloscope you can finally fault find a faulty 8-bit bus on a C64 data line.
Oh my. Our family had one of those MT-70 keyboards when I was a kid. I have fond memories of scanning-in the demo songs from the barcode sheets, with the little "bip-bip" noise at the end of each line to tell you it scanned OK and you could move on to the next one.
I used to have a Silver Reed EB50 in the early 90s. A relative bought it new in 1984. It works as a standalone typewriter but it's quite slow because it draws the letters, so even a fairly slow typist can type faster than it can print. I guess that's why they passed it on to me a few years later. IIRC it has a built-in function to print bar charts. As far as I know it'll work with any older computer that can be connected to a printer with a Centronics port. The manual explains how to get it to print text and also work as a plotter. As long as the cartridges are unopened they should be OK - they are basically very small ballpoint pens and dry out quite fast.
Wow. The Cue Cat. THAT brings back memories. I haven't thought about that in AGES. Pretty sure I still have couple in a box somewhere. Talk about a blast from the past.
6:30 la la la la la. This is my stop. time to get off. I might go pop. Excuse me, Excuse me. I've got to be direct. la la la. If I'm off, please correct. la la la. You're standing on my neck.
Thanks for your vids. I used to work for a SD back in the 90s and could have had twice the antiques you show. I remember walking past a Lisa and so much else stacked on a pallet and thinking, mah … junk. Yet I kept my PCjr
L'Abbaye des morts isn't a french game, it's an spanish game by Locomalito originary from Windows emulating the ZX Spectrum appearance. After it's success it has been ported to ZX Spectrum Commodore Mega Drive and Android. Original page: www.locomalito.com/abbaye_des_morts.php
Wow. about 7 minutes in, when you lifted it out of the box, I actually exclaimed out loud, "Genlock!!!". I remember staying late at work, at the computer store I was employed, and playing around with the demo model we got in. So much fun making my own videos way back in the 80s.
I too had never owned a SNES until now... Just a couple weeks ago, actually. Picked one up used "piece-mail" (needed some minor repairs) at the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo . I found myself there because the Chilliwack Retro Computer Club (to which I belong) had a few tables to showcase retro-PC gaming from the 70's and onwards, and I was bringing a few of my own machines. Turns out Oregon Trail will get a lot of people's interest.
Hey, another Blakes7 fan. Did you know that three of the actors already have passed away? Paul Darrow who played Kerr Avon passed away last month. I guess we are at that age where the heroes of our youth depart.
Another enjoyable unboxing video, I have missed you dong these regularly. Tried doing one myself on my channel when the old NZ Commodore Computer Museum sent me their last remaining items. Nothing like unboxing heaps of Commodore Computer stuff.
@@matthewrease2376 You got one of the lucky ones. Mine is yellow on the top surround only, one I worked on a while back only had a yellow cartridge part, and I've seen some in the shops near by near mint. I kind of wonder if Nintendo's production didn't screw up the plastic/fire retardant mixture and just didn't fix the issue before shipping.
@@8bitsloth I think mine has some yellowing, but it's less than the surface area of a penny and it's in like a corner or something, so it's not noticable.
waitwaitwait, don't retrobrite the yellowing SNES's if I remember correctly, as they're supposedly exceedingly rare. mine never yellowed quite like that.
I'm one of these guys who ordered Planet X3 right after your video. I don't mind the delay, it's an unique product and I'm totally expecting fairly long shipping time to France anyway.
I think it's the stuff they use to prevent the plastic from catching fire. So, it just melts rather than burns. Side-effect is the discolouring. I think it will always go yellow no matter how many times you restore the colour.
I can't wait for the Okimate video! My middle school had one of these back in the 80's. I loved that printer, the colors looked so good for the time. But I always hated to see the transfer tape wasted when you didn't need one of the colors on any give line.
A Plotter! Now there's a blast from the past! I remember them; they were around mostly in the late eighties until printing technology appeared that put plotters to shame. Still, fun little things; although that one is quite small. I remember at that size most printers sufficed; so when you did see plotters they were usually huge A3 paper monsters.
You guys have alot of cool stuff circulating in the USA which im pretty sure never made to markets here in Australia. The Intellivision I had was different to that one

I really think a lot of people would enjoy a collection video Dave! I know you have a lot of cool stuff you have accumulated over the years, but a very small portion of that is shown all at once.
