70s to early 90s computer gaming Anonymous Sat May 3 10:23:38 2014 No.1593078 [Reply] [Original]

Here it is! The 70s to 90s computer gaming thread!
It's purpose? Well, to talk and share stuff about computers from the 70s, 80s and first half of the 90s. Share your past experiences, your newly acquired machines, your collection, tips about emulator configurations, or about hardware expansions.
Whether it's an IBM/clone, a C64, an Apple II, a TRS-80, an Amiga, an MSX, or any other computer, don't hesitate to post!

Here's a few of my machines:
- A PC-AT clone with an i486-DX2 CPU @66MHz, 8MB of RAM, a Cirrus Logic SVGA chipset with 1MB of VRAM, a Sound Blaster 16 with an MT-32 hooked, and a 3com Etherlink III LAN card.

- An Amiga 500 rev.6 with 512KB of ChipRAM, FatAgnes that allow me to have up to 1MB of Chip RAM, and 2 external floppy units (one need to have a new belt)

- A PC-XT clone laptop with a 80c86 CPU @8MHz, 640KB of RAM, CGA chipset and beeper.

- An Amstrad CPC 6128 who's floppy drive belt need to be replaced.

- A PC-9801 N laptop who's battery broke and spilled acid everywhere. I still need to clean this poor thing before using it (I cleaned most of it, but not everything). Hopefully the motherboard haven't been touched (when i got it, it was already too late. Well, I won't complain, I got it for free).

I do not own the Apple II on the pic (I wish I did).

I don't have any retro computers at my disposal currently (I have an iMac G3 in Bondi Blue at my parents') but have an extensive classic Mac emulation setup. Mini vMac for all software prior to and including Mac OS 6, Basilisk II for Mac OS 7 (the first emulator I set up), and SheepShaver for Mac OS 8 and 9.

I am a huge fan of classic Mac games from the mid 80s to the late 90s. A month or so ago I dumped a large number of screenshots from all the games I had at my disposal, I could dump them all here if anyone is interested though I don't want to derail the thread entirely.

I collected all of my Mac game screenshots in one place and there are 125 images. Hoo boy.

Anyway I will start dumping now, in alphabetical order. See the filename for the name of each game the screenshot was taken from.

Fucking captcha keeps deleting my text so my posts keep getting rejected when I try to set it to auto.
Also sorry there are so many board games, a lot of them were from More Mac Cube disc 3 which are board and kids games.

Grew up on an Apple //e and a friends' C64 computers.

Since then, built up:

CoCo2 & 3
TI-99/4A
Atari 800XL
NEC PC-8201a (TRS80 Model 100 clone) and a couple of smaller portable computers of questionable utility.

In case you want to upgrade it, some people sell a kit to replace floppy drive with removable flash media. It's not very expensive, but unfortunately requires hacking the case a bit. I think there's also some alternative you just plug directly on motherboard (between a chip and its socket) or maybe even something to upgrade the trapdoor thing to 8 megs. Can't remember all the details, just stuff I read on eab.abime.net last year. Unfortunately my Amiga is long since gone, so just emulate with UAE now...

Is enough to set me off. I think it would be better for me if I just searched for an SCSI or IDE controller board that I could plug on the side of my Amiga.

I'd really like to find somewhere that still has one of those early computers. Just to say that I've seen one in person at least. Getting to use it would be a nice bonus though.

on a side note, is it possible to get new production paper for those? I'm talking about the paper stacks that are perforated at the top+bottom, and have the holes on both sides. I've got a box of it that I found, and I'm keeping it just in case I ever have a need for it. But it would be nice to know if I can still buy some outside ebay.

For those who might wonder, the emulator display DOESN'T represent what is in the real computer's frame buffer. In the frame buffer, there are black strips so the picture don't get dis-formed when displayed on the 4:3 monitor. It is, however, still supposed to be displayed on this kind of monitor (they would have issued CRT 16:10 monitors otherwise, as NEC produced their own monitors).

for a new collector what would be the best Amiga Model to start with? I was thinking about getting a 500 but I also kinda wanted to get a 1200 with the CF hard drive support
also I'm assuming that the models of the Amiga that matter are all PAL so would I have to have a step convertor? and would a TV that supports 50hz signals be enough to display one?

>>1599270

The 1200 is the best model to start with nowadays as it's the easiest to communicate with from a PC. The 500 is something to get later, when you'll be able to recreate your own floppies, or if you want to invest in a floppy drive emulator. Please, if you replace your A500 floppy unit with an HxC, don't trash the drive, keep it or sell it if you don't need it, but please don't trash it, they're not so easy to find, and for all those people who get a hard-on for old machines that are untouched, it's pretty useful to have spare drives.
Also, on a 1200, the PAL or NTSC signal is set software-side.

No, the black lines are between each line of pixels.
If you zoom in you'll see that every pixel is is doubled instead, which is better because the black lines make the picture very dark.
Depending on the emulator you can also use the black lines or mix the two modes for darker doubled rows.

However, you can clearly see the black strips above and under the picture though, to keep the ratio.
Yes, the pixels are twice as high as large, but not all pixels are meant to be square, there are similar modes on the Amiga, Atari ST, PC an all kinds of computers.

It's called letterboxing. The opposite is pillarboxing when black bars are added to the side.
Both are widespread methods to preserve aspect ratios.

Yup, I'm not denying it.
It's also a way to avoid overscan, thus being able to see the whole picture, even on the crappiest TVs (let's remember that the PC-8801 had a composite output too, for the people who didn't had the monies to buy a monitor).

I would have bought one instead of 486. I only went to PC because Amiga was gone and no other real alternatives... Well unless you can Mac, but it never seemed as interesting as the machines from Commodore or Atari. And the cost of Mac was pretty high too, not really in my budget.

First because it was a CISC architecture, and Motorola along with other CPU manufacturer though that RISC CPUs will be the big deal of the new century, so they wanted to concentrate all their efforts in these new architectures.
And the other reason is because they released the 68060 too late, at a price too high (compared to the previous 680x0 CPUs) and at a clock speed too low (no 90MHz 68060 in 1994 was a BIG mistake) while the Pentium had already some advantages with a better implementation of the super-scalar architecture.

The thing is that I already have a ton of 3" floppies, so replacing it would be a waste.
However I've been thinking about making an external 3"1/2 floppy unit with an already existing floppy drive laying around and an empty HDD Rack case and connect it to the external floppy port.

But you're right, the Amstrad CPC 6128is a really good machine.

There are many Amiga in there. I recognize them thanks to their keyboard layout like at 1:13 (look at the 2 keys above the arrow keys, they're the Del and Help Amiga keys), thanks to the monitors (many of them look like Commodre monitors), and the OS look like AmigaOS 3.9 at 0:30.
There might be some PC compatible or late Amiga clone (yeah, there was few amiga clones, but they aren't 100% compatible with everything as they don't have the custom chips. But they're enough for workbench applications though) too.

Get a 1040ST

I had the standard ST and a STFM, which you could plug into CRT TVs.

But if you're gonna use 16 bit atari computers, you might as well use the proper monitor

Get one of these (SC1224). Low resolution aside, it's the best monitor I ever saw.

25 years later I STILL have to see a monitor with better color fidelity. OLED screens are getting there I think. But they're still too small.

OLED don't have some of the advantages of a CRT either, like a better motion quality and a blazing fast response time. Also, it's still a digital display, so you introduce lag with all the conversions needed when you connect it to an analog video source.

consoles based on computers have far less games than the original computer, and have compatibility issues. Want to play tons of vidya? Get the computer. Want to have a very limited game library and partially incompatible hardware? Get the over-priced toy.
Also, 8-bit Atari computers are great when it comes to learn how to code. So if you want to make your OWN vidyas on this platform, get the computer.

Nothing. It runs every Atari 8-bit PC game. It even has composite video. Even if you have a game that's only on a disk, it can work with the disk drive.

The 5200 and the entire trainwreck that was Atari's home division is what happens when an out-of-touch movie studio gets their fingers into the operations of a video game publisher/manufacturer.

They had a portable with holographic visuals around 1977 that they axed because they were worried it would cannibalize sales of the VCS, not understanding that being a portable, it would probably go for Coleco's or Mattel's market. It also cost them one of their best engineers.

It's complete and in perfect working order, with 128k RAM, an MGA card, and a copy of PC-DOS 1.1 still in the A: drive, though it's not an original diskette.

Unfortunately the keyboard isn't a Model F, but a Unicomp clone. F1 and F2 tend to stick, but it's otherwise nice to type on. I think it's got ALPS switches or something.

also, is it just me, or is 4chan's embedded file detection generating more false positives than it used to? I've tried uploading two other pics that were rejected.

When my Dad was a student at Whoopie Tech, I got to play Lunar Lander with a light-pen, on an oscilloscope screen. I was hooked.

I'd go to work with my Dad at times, I would play Adventure, or Rogue. If I got bored enough, I'd make some funny ASCII Cows.

When I was 8, my parents bought a Royal Guards pinball machine.

At home there was Atari. Then the 5200. My Dad got a Tempest machine for $150 in like '83.

Then I got into the friutbox IIe, Commode, Trash-80, etc.

Then NES came out, changed my attention.

In '91 I went to the PC. Played lots of stuff. Sim City 20k was awesome. Blake Stone. Wordtris, BBS doors.

I went back to console with the N64. Been with the console since.

And yes, Oregon Trail. It is important to learn about dysentery so young.

I love my 5200. The A8 games translate well. Given that, as a business point of view, it was a train-wreck.
I'm almost at the end of "Atari Inc: Business is Fun". Except for coin, they were a one hit wonder. Management was never the same once they made tons of money. I'll spare the details, as almost everyone knows it, or wants to read the book.

If I knew at 12 the 5200 was a stripped 400, I would have asked for the computer, no doubt.

I just wanted a machine to play Pac-Man, and other games with better play, and graphics. It did that. Nothing else.

The IIGS is mainly a curiosity, as it had an extremely short lifespan, it's curious capabilities (2.8MHz CPU for a late 80s GUI-based computer? Really?). If you look for a computer for games, the Apple IIGS isn't the right choice, it's a machine that might be interesting for Apple II or old computer enthusiasts.
The Amiga is a way better alternative, it's way faster and have way more games available.

If you're looking for computer games on the Apple the IIGS was the best thing you could get from Apple. If you managed a transwarp even more so. The thing outperformed Macs had higher resolution and more color, better peripheral and sound.

Out of all the Apple options you can go with the GS is the one you want, period.

The analogy with the SNES vs Megadrive is a good analogy: look at how the developers had to take advantage of the co-processors in order to allow the SNES to have shoot em ups that run at the same speed as the one on Megadrive.
The problem here is that this time, it's the Amiga that has a bunch of co-processors while the Apple IIGS only have it's 65c816.
I think it would have been simply better if they used something else instead of the 65c816 and just added a 6502 on a compatibility board.

>>1666772

It's because Apple didn't wanted the Machintosh to be a game machine. If they made/used a proper graphic chipset and sound chipset that were suited for games, it would have been a pretty good game machine too.

It is.

>It's weird that NEC allowed their competitor to build it at all.

It's because Hudson developed the PC Engine with NEC (The PC Engine CPU was designed by Hudson, based on the MOS6502, along the HuCard cartridge). At the time, Hudson was working with Sharp too (they made the BASIC interpret for the X1), so it's no surprise if Hudson allowed Sharp to use their CPU and cartridges to make a system compatible with the PC Engine.

Like the Turbo-R, I said the VA so that homebrewers can work with more freedom like using the MMC5 chip with 32KB of extra ram in both the work & video ram banks with the Namco 163 chip for sound (cutting off the MMC5's sound bus) on a NES game.

Plus, you always need a emulated release on newer systems like the Wii U, PS4, XBox One, 3DS & Vita.

>Apple IIGS
I will not call that to much of a blunder, Nintendo made Super NES games with it.

Hudson made the PC Engine, NEC just sold it as they were also making the DPS chip series for Nintendo at this time as well.

Maybe, but I don't know any. But let's not forget the MOS6502 is a MC6800-compatible CPU (the MOS6501 being pin compatible too), so the MC6809 is close enough (not binary compatible though, they use the same assembly language, but you need to reassemble the code).

Main CPU means nothing when it comes to graphic stuff in this case. Look at the ZX80, yeah, it has a Z80 too, but it's slow as fuck. Why? Because it has no real graphic chipset, it's the CPU that does everything, wasting so many cycles doing stuff it wasn't meant to be.
The Master System and the Game Gear have the same CPU, look how good they are at graphic stuff.
The MSX line have the same CPU, look how the MSX2 and 2+ are good at graphic stuff.

The X1 and PC88 have 2 different graphic chipset, and it seems that the X1 one is simply faster and more efficient. Nothing to o with CPU speed.

I've participated in a few J-PC threads, they quickly descend into hentai game screenshots (not that I consider that to be a bad thing).

Western PC threads (at least for Sinclair, Atari, Commodore and Amstrad machines) tend to get trolled early by console kids. They tend to avoid doing that in the J-PC threads, and I didn't notice any in this thread.

Some computers don't fit either category completely either, like the MSX. They were plenty popular in the Netherlands, France, Italy and Spanish speaking territories, all of which made native software.

I kind of like the idea of keeping east and west together, but I'm not going to be upset at several separate threads.

I'd like to give MSX stuff the attention it needs, since a lot of the games on it get overlooked in favor of Kojima's. It's worth noting that WOOMB, the site that sold translations of MSX games legally, was a Dutch operation; I wonder if anyone from The Netherlands would frequent said thread.

But yeah, the biggest annoyance is when people look at NEC PCs and think they're only good for eroge and light adventure fluff. Knowing that a lot of the pixel art in those games is digitally scanned, the only things I find impressive about them are the abundance of hourglass figures and how effective dithering is in bringing color. The PC-88 actually had a lot more CRPGs, strategy titles, and Sierra-inspired adventure games relative to the amount of h-games on the PC-98. So I'll encourage people to give that stuff a look, it's not as though they can't read the text in those games as well as with something from Elf.

Nice setup anon. How is this setup compared to, let's say, an i486-based PC AT of the time? I do have an Amiga, but it's a model 500, so the closest thing I have to your machine is my PC-486.
As for using emulators for Amiga games, it's understandable, I don't think many of the Amiga games made back then would work on a 68040-based Amiga.

The PC-88 is heavily overlooked considering it was a primary gaming platform in the 80s. When I look up a PC-88 game on Wikipedia or the like I'll regularly see it mentioned as a MSX original or similar.
Many of the games are better played on the PC-98 because they require less disks and have higher resolution text.

The PC-88 had about 1000 games, maybe a fifth of them eroge.
The PC-98 had an estimated 5000 games, less than half of them eroge.
What's also to remember is that there was more variety to eroge. You can find all sorts of genres covered by them.

Isn't WHDLoad just a floppy drive emulator that load adf images? Because I don't think a game relying on self-modifying code, fixed clock speed and ROM routines, and storing additional data in the last byte in the Address Registers (unused in the 68000 and 68010, but not since the 68020) would run AT ALL on this kind of setup.

Good luck buying an x68000 in Europe and the US. One day I tried to import one, but the shipping fees were, like, 3 times more expensive than the computer itself? At least with the Amiga, you have a good computers with great games (Hybris, Star Control, Dungeon Master, Captive, Ambermoon for example) that you wont alway find on the x68000, for a good price. Yes the x68000 is a great machine when it comes to games, but it's not a reason to say that the Amiga isn't one too.

The only two games I ever really knew about or wanted for my //gs back in the day were Tower of Myraglen, Thexder, and Bard's Tale gs. I had a Woz Edition ROM 00 with 256K that I didn't expand until much later, so basically I was locked out of gs gaming completely.

Sure I played quite a few games on it, including Bard's Tale and a bunch of RPGs. However, they were all 8-bit games for older Apple II models.

Because most of /vr/'s threads are centered on console, late 90s and/or IBM/clones stuff. Sometimes you see some other kind of threads pop, like text-adventure games, MUDs or early atari consoles, but most of the time it's still the "recent" retro-gaming.

There aren't many active places to discuss Japanese PC games compared to those available for Western machines. You can easily go on GOG or GAF if you want to chat up something like Apogee platformers, but the Tokugawa Corp. forums are mostly focused around preservation, much less talking about the games themselves. It doesn't take much work to locate the right emulator and ROM files for the games we can play sans translation, and I'm sure there are at least a few Japanese-literate anons around.

I wouldn't worry about there being any overlap between this thread's sequel and my thing, though. I'll start this thread in July just because of other projects.
