This $40 Amiga Came From Inside an Arcade Machine - Months Later I Tested It

At Vintage Computer Festival 2025, I found an Amiga 500 motherboard sitting on a vendor's table. What he told me next blew my mind."They used Amigas as controller boards inside their arcade games."This Rev 6 board came from American Laser Games - the company that made those light gun arcade games in the 90s. When they went under, this board became new old stock. Never used. Just sitting around for

Sid Meier’s 1987 Masterpiece: Pirates! (C64)

In 1987, Sid Meier pulled off a feat of engineering: he fit the entire Caribbean onto a single floppy disk. Long before Grand Theft Auto and Assassin’s Creed, there was Pirates! on the Commodore 64.From the iconic (and slightly ridiculous) cover art to the physical maps and the "clunk-whirrr" of the 1541 drive, this wasn't just a game—it was an era. Whether you were hunting Spanish Galleons or

I saw the picture in my old Elementary Annual from 1984 (40 years ago) in 6th grade. This was the first computer I used before getting my C64 at home. I believe it's the TRS-80 Model III by Tandy/Radio Shack. I remember playing Popeye and Miner 2049er on it in the library. #retrocomputers #retrogaming #trs80 #radioshack #tandy #vintagecomputer #retrocomputer
