Man !! This was my first computer. Here is Haydar from Iraq. My dad bought this Genie for me when I was 12 years old. Thank you man, you have an outstanding collection.
After the conversion of "Aardy" I would love to see R-Type, Giana Sisters, Zack McKracken, Feud or something else like that running on the Colour Genies RH... I do quite some average programming (assembler) on most systems, from the VIC20 over the C64 up to the underrated plus 4, on atari xl like MSX and of course the spectrum... Nowadays Im getting mad with my TI99-4a - beginning from the strange basic to its memory sharing issue... But: It is a real nightmare to create half way modern games on the EG2000 - I even fail to get an assembler for years now - and dont try to use its basic... Does anybody know how to get this 8-bit dino to show some more of its capabilities? I failed there - did you succeed? Where is here the specific demo scene? Rock bottom, it seems quite easy to have a Laser/Dick Smith Computer playing digital samples compared to scroll a screen on the Colour Genie... Thanks for uploading!
I've never played with a Genie. They look like fun. I'd need some sort of BASIC reference manual though. The computer I always lusted after was the Oric 1. It was such a sexy looking machine. We had a Speccy 48K, but the poster on my wall was the Oric 1.
Close maybe. The Commidore 64 was about the same time so I would say inspired by the earlier Commodore PET, which had those graphics characters on the keyboard. The C64 copied those from the early PETs.
Hi Terry! Jason from Australia here. I've been following your page for a while now. I have a Blue Label System 80 that I got in 1982. I've had it in storage since the 90s. I recently got it out to show my son but unfortunately it wont boot up 🤔
@@jasonsttarkus Some like the Z80 and 4116 chips are still available commercially. Write to me at terry@webweavers.co.nz and tell me the symptoms. I might be able to point you in the right direction.
