Dear friends, I have a Ferguson TV set also, it works perfectly with the Beeb (via a especially installed DIN socket which was professionally done at stores back in the day), but, whenever I try the SCART socket, no matter what computer, I get a reddish "background", although the other col...

Dear friends, Please, forgive me for my long absence. The last 3 to 4 months of my life have been literally hectic since I had to complete my documentary. It has been very well-received here, so to speak, it was even shown in Portugal at the Lisbon Games Week recently. If you, lads, would like to ha...

Awesome! One for me, please (5.25" DFS)!

Thank you very much, Dave, I'll follow your instructions!

Very very nice, congratulations!

Dear friends, Out of the blue, my Electron started to behave erratically. Whenever I touch any of the keys marked in the photo, the Electron crashes/freezes. Other than that, it works properly - and even run games from David's MGC multicart. Any ideias of what might have happened? Like I said, the p...

My Electron (I also have a Plus 3 unit that's not in the photo obviously).

PS.: the TV set was a gift I received from the UK!

Great product, I've been playing with mine...

Sweet!!!!!!!!!

Dear friends,

The new edition (in Portuguese) is out! Enjoy!

If I understand correctly, he talks a bit about the way the Onyx Junior's pause button works before describing why something extra is needed for a regular 2600. Maybe there's something extra about it in the original document ? I wonder if there are schematics online for the Onyx Junior. :-k I'll tr...

Here's the "famous" Onyx Junior!

Some quick searching turned up this document: A Pause button for the Atari 2600 . It's about a modern modification based on an pause button implementation in a Brazilian clone console. Kits are available from AtariAge . Yup, Victor Trucco is a very popular guy here in Brazil. He does a lot of retro...

I'd be interested just to know about that pause button. It surely must have required software support? It's not like you can just leave the TIA in a steady state and expect it to output anything like a game's output (or, depending on your screen's tolerance to the lack of vertical sync, possibly an...

Thank you, my friends, please keep giving your opinion!

Dear friends, I think most of you are familiarized with my research of the history of the video games arrival in my country, right? I wrote two books on the subject (the second edition - revised and expanded - is due to release next month) and am producing a documentary which will be released on Sep...

A Brazilian clone of the TRS-80 Model III.

Great work! Love the graphics, congratulations!

Thanks Dave H.

Yes, I had trouble making my selection. It took a while to work my way through the list.

Fantastic! Congratulations! Can't wait to receive mine!

Thank you, I'll have a look, David!

I'm having a tough time trying to remove games from the list... LOL!

Any suggestions of games to remove? So far I removed text adventures only... The truth is I'm not that familiarized with Electron games!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Hi, Dave! Cool product!

I'd like to buy one, please...

Happy belated Xmas! Happy 2017! I've been away from this forum for a while due to many things, but mostly because of the continuing work in my documentary. In fact, we've prepared 2 teaser videos (in Portuguese). I invite you to watch them... Teaser #1 shows people (from the Industry) who brought th...

The new episode is ready!

After four years (!!!), we're returning with this. I know, it's a shame... But the thing is I'm involved with a lot of projects (magazine, books, the documentary I'm producing etc.). There's even a new opening sequence that features a lot of games... Including BBC Micro's... Can you name all the gam...

Awesome, mate!

Happy Christmas, mate! I corrected the subject. Is "Merry Xmas" an American thing? LOL!
