Those older machines have a simplicity that people can more easily understand - and then work around their limitations like not a lot of memory. This can also create a challenge like especially with the Atari VCS 2600 console (very limited RAM, very limited graphics). A well-established architecture like the Z80 (or 6502 or 68K) can last decades if adoption and support is good. Several of those CPU architectures are now mostly sold as "modules" to implement in custom chips which of course need to be programmed, too...

That variable resistor on the Commodore 64 is to tune the tv channel into your TV. I had the Commodore 64 and the white C64. But even better was the Amiga that followed it. I bought an Amiga 500 after watching a copy of Dune II on it. That game was amazing. I had an Amiga 500 and an Amiga 1200 that even had a proper hard drive that I modded to the beast. 600mb of storage was a lot in those days. I miss Commodore.

8:36 The screw-adjustment there is probably for changing the channel of the RF output. Do you remember that VCR's used to have them, too? When Channel 5 started, they had to send people round to everyone's house to adjust them because it broadcast on this previously reserved area of the spectrum (around channel 37, if I recall)

That is the most relevant ad I have ever seen. It's almost like they made this app specifically for Ashens.

Best possible way to do sponsorships. It was so relevant to your channel that I didn't even mind sitting through your ad bit.

Man it's more better than see a long documentary about each system. This video was more quick and with good pace!

MSX was actually educational standard in Eastern Bloc for some time. I remember rows of MSXs from my elementary school in mid to late '80s, there were clones of ZX Spectrum used also but MSX was standard and even bussiness and educational software was created for them in big numbers. After that, Apple II clones and Atari ST shortly replaced them (Atari ST was pretty common as bussiness and office machine in early '90s) but DOS machines replaced them around 1994-1995, but even in early 2000s you still can see 16-bit machines in classrooms as back-up or as first introduction for first graders. Hell, I have vague memory of my teacher in kindergarden, using I think CBM's VIC-20 for playing funny sounds and showing simple matching games.

The ad consisted of him giving commentary on a product, just like the rest of the video. BUT ALSO, you feel the joy of knowing that he made more money on that bit of the video.

People whose content consists of their opinions about things (i.e reviews) shouldn't be so easily swayed into promoting things by money. It creates a clear conflict of interest and renders their opinion on all things questionable. There's also the fact that people don't like being advertised to. And the fact that "in-video" ads such as this are not "skippable" unless you know where it ends. Plus, it's at the beginning of the video, meaning the content you came to see is after the ad. If sponsorships are at the end of a video you can click away without losing anything.

The ad was revilement and entertaining, so it didn't disrupted my experience.

I had quite a few of those but the Dragon 32 was by far my favourite. Loved playing Chuckie Egg Thanks for the memories

Great video, really enjoy seeing you do stuff like this, and i like that unlike many collectors you aren't a condition snob either, my knowledge on the old computer systems is pitiful generally but my collection does feature a lot of them, one incredibly under rated system i'd suggest if you haven't got one already of course would be the Tatung Einstein, the machine i grew up with :) Thanks for the great video

that's actually a pretty sweet app

I had the first three computers shown here back in the day. I used to love copying my friends games when I first got a dual tape deck recorder...it was super exciting being a pirate child.

MSX was a big thing in Japan and some parts of Europe. Beside the MSX1 model, there's also MSX2, MSX2+, and MSX turbo R models. There were tons of games released for the MSX2 specifically, so a MSX2 definitely recommended over a MSX1, especially since they're backwards compatible with most MSX1 softwares. By the way, in case anyone is wondering: Ashens showed Knightmare, a Japanese 60Hz game, being played on 50Hz mode, meaning that the game and music were playing slower than intended.

Wow thanks a ton for the app. Ive been looking for one like it for the longest time. And of course the rest of the video is great. As living in the US I have to enjoy the spectrum vicariously through others but if I ever move to the UK I think spectrum will be a must buy.

Excellent video, as usual. The Commodore 64 was the second computer I ever used, back in the mid-80s (the first one was the Vic-20, also from Commodore). It was also the first computer I ever had online, in 1995. An extra-speedy 1200 baud, and even though the ISP I was using was the Greater Columbus Freenet, no gui, just very basic ASCII, uphill, both ways, (cough) But while I no longer have my original C64 I do have a C64C that works great. Found it at a local thrift store a few years back for $4.94USD because the store didn't realize it wasn't just a keyboard :)

Even when we torrent we are aware that that is paid content.

I have one, and it uses 3.5" disks. Toshiba MSX: It was indeed the most popular MSX computer here in the UK Dragon 32: The little expansion connector is the parallel printer port. Also, there were compatibility issues with the TRS-80, which was actually the TRS-80 Colour(Color) Computer. Easier to look this up for info. Also of course, that's 32K rather than MB.

The dragon 32 was our first family computer. My mum used to love the text adventures, and me and my sister used to play scramble and (I think it was el bandito) the ants stealing fruit from the spider. Later I got a spectrum +2 with the Dixon’s premier collection, played Batman, head over heels and legend of Kage to death. Oh and double dragon, midnight resistance, turtles and dan dare 3

+machosker While some games were silent whilst the epileptic fit inducing colours flashed on the screen and then music played while a picture loaded line by line a lot of other games just screeched. Just search youtube for C64 loading noise for examples.

@@zoolio C64 never screeched, it was either silent or had music playing. Spectrum and the BBC (i think) among others screeched, maybe you are remembering one of those.

I had an Acorn Electron in about 1991 and a Toshiba MSX exactly like the one in this video in the same year, also had a Spectrum 48k and a Plus 3 with disk drive .

It's really fun seeing you talk about these old computers. I wonder how my life would've been if I was born in the 80s instead.
