Bally (Astrocade) added to UC ’09 display
Friday, March 6th, 2009
It is early in the morning today, but I pulled out and quickly tested the old Bally/Astrocade game console, with its past updated S-Video output. Working like a champ, I must say. as I expected it to. The Incredible Wizard never looked so good! :) Thus, this system is in the show, taking the place of the Apple //e (which will hopefully make its own appearance next year). The old Bally will be running the Wizard, plus a bunch of other fun games for this system, as I have the entire library (or most of it) at hand.
Next at hand is trying to quickly video MOD the Timex/Sinclair equipment, which I hope works better than the Odyssey2 upgrade I tried. If this work, they will be on display with Apple // and /// monitors. If the upgrade doesn't work well, then only one unit (the 1500) will be on display with an old SR3000 TV set (not sure who made this brand of TV).
I also plan on putting a Mac SE in the show too, but this is pending getting the game(s) onto it.
Off to get some Zzzzzz's.
