Electronica - Desoldering pump unboxing, test & review
Unboxing, testing and reviewing a couple of useful tools i've bought lately which were long overdue, a de-soldering pump and also a set of hakko soldering iron tips. I go through extensive testing with the desoldering pump and have a go at desoldering a few caps. Also testing it on an old Commodore 64 motherboard which has through-hole soldering. I have a go at removing the SID chip. This will be very useful for replacing capacitors in vintage computers such as the Amiga or C64 or vintage hi-fi equipment such as amplifiers, cassette decks, Radios etc.
In today's Nostalgia Time subscriber request, we have two games requested, Stunt car racer and Jaguar XJ220. I decided to include a third game Buggy Boy, a childhood game of mine, making this video a nice racing game mini compilation.
Stunt Car Racer has been requested by Brian who is 'Casual Commodore 64' and 'Casual Commodore Amiga'

More about Stunt car race (quoted from wikipedia) : The game differs from other racing games in that the races take place on an elevated race track, with nothing to stop the player from accidentally driving off the side. Most race tracks in the game have gaps in them which will cause serious problems to the driver if he or she fails to clear them. If this occurs then the player's vehicle is hoisted back onto the track (by a nearby crane) which costs valuable time. Turbo can be used to make a car go faster, but it can only be used for a limited amount of time in each race.
The single-player game consists of a league table which is split into four divisions of three drivers each, making a total of twelve racers including the human player. There are two racing tracks in each division making it a total of eight tracks in the game. The tracks in division four (the first division) are easy, but the tracks get progressively more difficult and dangerous with each division. The player's objective is to reach, and subsequently win, division one. There are four races in a season, and each driver will race the other two drivers in both of the tracks in the division. Each race is run over three laps. Two points are awarded to the winner of each race and one point is awarded to the racer with the fastest lap time. At the end of each season, the top racer of each division is promoted to the next higher division while the driver in last place will be relegated.
The player can compete against computer opponents or, at least on the Atari ST and Amiga versions, with another player using two computers connected via a null modem

Whether we call it autofire, rapid fire or turbo fire, i'm creating it for joysticks which don't have it. Today I build a circuit on breadboard / prototype board which uses a 555 timer and I experiment a little with it, At first I try to mod a zipstick joystick without autofire and then later change my mind to Cruiser joystick.
