2022年12月17日 - MZ-700のPCG You may recall that I was explaining that I would likely never get a PCG for the MZ-700. They tend to fetch considerable premiums whenever they surface on Yahoo Auctions. But one came up recently and I noticed that this was a non-auto-extending style auction. 続き⇒ |

2022年12月15日 - TNTボムボム・MZ-1500 This game – TNT Bomb Bomb – showed up on Yahoo Auctions and it looked unique and it’s for the MZ-1500, which I don’t have a whole lot of games for to begin with, so I decided to try bidding on it. As it’s a rare game for a not terribly common system, and the game was unopened and in stellar condition, I wasn’t sure if I was going to be interested in coughing up the yen necessary to be the winner, but all things considered, it ended at a pretty reasonable price. 続き⇒ |

2022年09月09日 - 漢字ROMボード・マウス等 This must be my fourth or fifth SMC-777C by now. I don't keep duplicates at the moment, so I sell the machines back, but I often pick up accessories this way to expand my collection. This lot was a particularly good one; I got some games, an official SMC-777 mouse, and a kanji ROM card! It also came with a complete set of manuals and software, some of them in better condition than my own, so I did a bit of swapping out to improve my own collection. 続き⇒ |

2022年08月19日 - シャープ CZ-800D I've seen these red Sharp monitors around for a while and they're usually pretty pricey. They were produced for the X1 line and come in a cherry red and a wine red. I had imagined I would prefer the cherry red, but that's neither here nor there; they're both typically quite expensive. 続き⇒ |

2022年08月07日 - 元箱ありSMC-777C I had a temporary visitor, an SMC-777C with original box and a handful of original disks. The disks included were the default system disks and a couple of games: SMC Super Golf and Salad no Kuni no Tomato Hime (Princess Tomato of the Salad Kingdom). The box for this system isn’t all that common so I decided to make a post for posterity’s sake. 続き⇒ |

2022年06月24日 - カシオ FP-1100 Now here’s a strange beast. With an unwieldly large keyboard and a really unexpected function of BASIC, this is certainly a unique machine. A friend of mine mentioned looking for games for it but they were terribly expensive, so you know that always catches my ear. Oddly, despite being a fairly rare machine, I found two auctions for them ending two days in a row. The first one was boxed with manuals and looked amazing, but it went for about 60000 yen. 続き⇒ |

2022年06月18日 - FM TownsのCGアート I recently got a CD called FM Towns World. It included some game and application demos in addition to a multimedia gallery of CG art and photographs. I enjoy this era of CG art so I decided to upload and share the ten-image gallery that was included. 続き⇒ |

2022年06月14日 - シャープMZ-2500 Dubbed the “Super Computer”, the MZ-2500 commands a fairly high price, so I had to wait for just the right circumstances. I found a junk one at a somewhat reasonable price, and it worked just well enough to give me a flavor of what it has to offer… enough to confirm that I wanted a fully-working one. I grabbed another one that was also junk, and between the two, I was able to get a fully working one, which my friend has since recapped and helped to future-proof. 続き⇒ |

2022年02月13日 - パソピア７のRF・コンポジット変換器 I’ve picked up a few Pasopia7s recently and two of them included this item. It converts digital RGB to RF or composite video signal. This isn’t the only one; I have one from Hitachi but it’s positively huge and requires a separate power adapter, which I don’t have. I also have one for the PC-6001mkIISR, which I will do a write-up of later, because that serves a special purpose. 続き⇒ |

2022年01月27日 - パソピア７の宝物 If it seems I’m on a Pasopia7 kick recently, you’re right! It’s one of my recent favorites. I asked one of my friends who has a large collection, including many Pasopia7 games, if he had the manuals, and somewhat surprisingly to me, he didn’t. And then a few days later, this showed up on Mercari: 続き⇒ |
