ColecoVision und mein persönliches Donkey Kong Desaster

Arkade-Automaten waren im Jahre 1982 für Videospieler das Non plus ultra. Weder die seinerzeit teuren Heimcomputer und schon gar nicht die heimischen Spielkonsolen waren in der Lage die Hits der Videospielautomaten authentisch wiederzugeben.

I LOVE collectors who also keep boxes. You can see here the then unaffordable 900 shillings (with inflation approx. € 120).

Das nenn ich mal #CompetitionPro. #Commodore64 #Retrocomputing

@stevencombs I like the looks of that machine, but the current firmware of the #Atari #The400Mini leaves a lot to be desired, including a bug-ridden version of M.U.L.E. and cropped screens even in some of the included games (e.g. in "Encounter!", the radar is clearly cropped). I also want more controller configuration options, as none of my previously owned controllers allow me to fully control the menu system of that thing and I do not like their #joystick (I prefer #CompetitionPro joysticks).

I noticed there's practically no photos of the insides of the leaf switch version of the Competition Pro out there. Maybe people don't realize it exists? - the vast majority you see for sale used use microswitches.

Anyway here's what it looks like. Pretty much like I'd expected, and very different from microswitched versions.

Und im gleichen Haus wie #Banksy war auch ein #Gaming-Erlebnismuseum mit alter und aktueller Gaming-Hardware. Der beschriebene #Brotkasten war zwar nur ein #C64 II aber immerhin, hatte schon einige Jahrzehnte keinen #CompetitionPro mehr in der Hand.

Let's build a completely new board for these joysticks. #blogpost #CompetitionPro #Restauration #Retro - https://shred.zone/cilla/page/494/competition-pro-mini-refurbishment.html

Let's do a bit of #RetroWeekend again. I have two #CompetitionPro mini here, both with worn out microswitches. Instead of replacing the switches, I will build up new boards (I will tell later why). The replica boards are designed by @Zitruskeks and can be found here: https://github.com/InsaneDruid/CompetitionProStarMini .

New video! I'm building a 3D-printed #CompetitionPro #Joystick clone. #RetroGaming #RetroComputing https://youtu.be/nSCvKZzglt4

Es gibt nun, neben meiner privaten Instanz, eine weitere öffentliche #mastodon Instanz im #fediverse. Offen für alle #Retronerds und die die es mal werden wollen, denen bei Begriffen wie #c64 #amiga #vectrex #atari oder sogar #competitionpro das Herz aufgeht. https://c64.social
Gerne boosten für #reichweite. 🙃

Einfach schön! #CompetitionPro

Nachwuchs 1.0 hat nur mit dem Kopf geschüttelt...
