● Description In 1981 the worlds first laptop was created and patented before going on sale in the east and west in 1982. That machine was the HC-20 also known as the HX-20 and today we're lucky enough to have one to take a look at.

Is it a bird, is it a plane? No! It's the TRS80 Whizz Kids and Superman needs their help. But not before he teaches a computer science class. Today we look at an unlikely collaboration between DC Comics and Radioshack to engage young would be computer owners.

Unboxing of a brand new Commodore 16, accompanied by some music from the C16. This video is from my archives of systems I sadly had to sell, but I thought I'd document the contents of them first for fellow collectors.
Music Tracks are from the "8 Shades of Black" demo on the C16.
This computer was opened way back in the 80's and the power supply was removed. It couldn't therefore be sold and remained untouched.

● Description
The Pioneer Laser Active was a games console for the richest. Vastly more expensive than the systems supported it offered a convenient entertainment hub with a price tag to brag about. Commercially it was a failure, technically it was flawed and many of the 10,000 systems produced have been destroyed by that flaw. We discover why it has a reputation for terrible capacitors and just what it's all about while attempting to repair it.

This game arrived in the cave during this good in video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoRftjWE5JA
We take Combat Lynx by Durell Software for a spin on the C64. A 1984 release which is playable on keyboard, but really demands 2 joysticks to master as I find out during an appalling display of helicopter piloting.
Positives: Free roaming psuedo 3D with contorted landscapes, and in depth controls for flight and weapons systems
Negatives: Need some serious time put into it to master it even on the easiest level. Probably a lot easier with two joysticks however.
Impressive stuff for 1984.

● Description
Commodore was determined to rinse every last penny of profit it could from the C64 platform and the C64GS was a last push in Europe to do just that. Take a C64, remove the keyboard and call it a games console. What could possibly go wrong? What could possibly be right about it more like. Join us for a Show and Tell discussion about the misguided console.

Welcome to Project BattleCade. Today we learn about the inspiration behind the project and see the internal parts. We'll need to build a case, create the artwork, fit the internals and fine tune the setup if we're to make this a success, before throwing a BattleCade party to see what people think.
