Perhaps someone could help out solve my 20 year old mystery? When I was a kid, I had briefly access to a computer. My memory might be mistaken on the details, but I just can't find on Google what kind of computer it was. It had 5 inch floppies, I am pretty sure that games on it only used four colors (cyan, magenta, white, black). I think it had joystick similar to Atari's. It had Bubble Bobble game. Edit: Photos of Commodore computers look really close to what I remember, but not exactly. Also, Latvia (where I live) just recently had regained independece from USSR and it was a time when the market was flooded with clones for everything. E.g. instead of NES kids had famiclones like Zhiliton, UFO or in my case, I think it was Dendy. Edit: Floppy reader was in-built, not external, as far as I remember. Edit: Sorry, more like 30-year mystery. Somewhere around beginning of 90s. Edit: I think it also had game Alley Cat. Edit: Thank you everyone for chiming in! This inspired me and gave extra keywords for further investigation and narrowing down the exact model / make. Gonna continue searching on Sunday. |
But… 20 years? That’s like, 2002. PCs were abundant then, and CGA graphics were already ancient, and use of joysticks in games were already relatively uncommon; mouse & keyboards were the norm.
