DATAMAN DESIGNS MENTA (4/14/2008)
The Menta looks like a Sinclair ZX-80 or ZX-81 clone, but it's not. It's rather a development tool and initiation machine based on a Z80A processor. The concept is to help you understand how a Z80A works. The system itself is very similar to a Sinclair ZX-80 with its flat membrane keyboard. But when you look closer, you notice that the keybord is not quite usual like a QWERTY one for example. It's an hexadecimal one with numbers from 0 to 9 and letters from A to F. All the other keys are marked with Z80 machine language functions and instructions. |

SOFTWARE DATABASE (BETA) (4/8/2008)
As some of you may already have noticed, the new software database is online (in beta stage). The goal is to provide a mean of analysing and comparing software of the different systems throughout the years. This new feature is a preview of what will be the next old-computers.com we're working on. For now, don't hesitate to post software comments. Click the link to go to the Vectrex software list as an example. |

PANASONIC JD-800U ADDED (10/17/2007)
The Panasonic is a classic CP/M professional system released at the begining of the 80's. It is powered by an Intel 8085 processor, offers 56 KB RAM and is equiped with two 8" floppy disk drives. No graphic features here, but 80x24 text resolution on a 12" built-in green phosphor monitor. |

TONEL PC (9/27/2007)
The TONEL PC is another system based on the Lambda 8300 but marketed by another third company. It's a Sinclair ZX-81 with more RAM (2 KB!) and a "better" keyboard. We don't know exactly where this system was distributed and what was the real name of the brand...

 | The Multari: Atari 2600 gets elegantly shoved in a handheld
We already knew what Marshall was capable of when we caught wind of his masterfully assembled portable Nintendo 64, but the modder extraordinaire has really outdone himself this time. As the name implies, The Multari is a portable Atari 2600 with 32 games built right in. The chassis itself was crafted from vacuum-formed styrene plastic, and aside from the colorful buttons and iconic D-pad, there's also a 5-inch display and what appears to be a set of speakers. | | GLIDER, a brand new NES game
Jump into your Glider and ride the vents to escape The House in the first ever flashable NES game from Brian Parker. In the most advanced homebrew yet you control the paper airplane in search of a way out of the 60 room house. Fly over floor vents to get lift or use fans for a speed boost. The Glider cart is flashable which means you can replace the built in house with brand new ones. Once you beat The House get a new set of rooms from www.retrousb.com and use a USB CopyNES. | | Shredz64 - Guitar Hero-style game on the Commodore 64!
Toni Westbrook has done the impossible: create a modern day game for the Commodore 64 that makes use of the Playstation guitar controller hooked through the PSX64 interface. Yes, a Guitar Hero-style game on the C64! The result is fantastic, and it's even possible to play (many) SID files, including ones added by the player. |
