Philips Las Vegas ES2208

Autopsy:

from old-computers.com Homepage:

This pong from Philips (1977) is a bit special. It uses the unusual AY-3-8550 from General Instruments. This chips offers 4 classic pong games (Tennis, Squash, Squash practice, Football) and 2 shooting games. The paddles can be moved verticaly AND horizontaly, hence the analog joysticks (instead of the classic sliders). The display is in color.

There is a female DIN plug at the bottom-right part of the case. It is used to connect an optional light-gun to play the two shooting games.

There are switches to control the different options like ball speed, paddle size, angle 20°/40°, manual/auto service. There are two buttons: reset and serve. There is even a TV channel selection knob to adjust the picture on the TV.

The Las Vegas ES-2208 is in fact one of the Las Vegas pong systems from Philips. Here is the list:

  • Las Vegas Tele-Spiel ES-2203 (6 games, black & white display, vertical movements)
  • Las Vegas Tele-Spiel ES-2204 (6 games, color display, vertical movements)
  • Las Vegas Tele-Spiel ES-2208 (6 games, color display, vertical & horizontal movements)
  • Las Vegas Tele-Spiel ES-2218 (8 games, color display, vertical & horizontal movements)
  • Travemünde Tele-Spiel ES-2207 (4 games, black & white display, vertical movements)

CBM-Command v1.7

September 7th, 2010 No comments

CBM-Command is a disk manager for the Commodore 64 / Commodore 128 / Commodore VIC20 / Commodore C16 computers. It is written like Norton Commander or Midnight Commander, but is much simpler due to the target platforms. Both the C128/C64/VIC20/C16 have their own native version of the application.

Release Notes – Version 1.7 Release Candidate – 2010-08-19

New Features:

  • Realtime statistics on file copy and disk image operations.

Changes:

  • Fixed bug where disconnecting the drive set as default for the left panel would cause CBM-Command to freeze.
  • Fixed bug where using a long name for a created D64 would cause CBM-Command to always treat the drive as a 1581.
  • Fixed bug where the name input dialog for creating a D64 had junk in it.
  • Other bug fixes that I cannot remember right now.

Commodore USA relaunch Amiga with AROS desktops

September 2nd, 2010 No comments

from Engadget homepage:

Barry’s back, kids! The CEO of Commodore USA  just informed us that, in addition to slapping Commodore stickers on various all-in-one PCs, he has acquired the rights to the Amiga name (we only hope that the process went a little smoother this time around).

The plan is to sell machines that fully support AROS — an open source variant of AmigaOS  3.1 that the kids seem to go crazy for.

We can’t wait to get a look at these bad boys, but for now it looks like we’ll have to do with the picture of an old Amiga 3000. …more
