I've had a couple of different SC-3000s, with specs varying by color only (originally I had black, now I have red). I recently grabbed an SC-3000H because a) it is a different color (white) and b) it was quite a reasonable price compared to others I'd seen. continued ⇒

Casio chose a different path for its bundled software than most companies. While Sharp, NEC, and Fujitsu (and others) included some simple demos to show off the system's capabilities, Casio included regular software. I am sure someone who had an FP-1100 with its fairly limited range of software might appreciate this, but as someone who has amassed a bunch of old computers and realizes that the FP-1100 simply doesn't have that much software but still enjoys the machine itself, I wish they had included the demo. Oh well! continued ⇒
I found this pretty unique set of items on Mercari a few days ago. It included a Pasopia7 computer with two boxed cartridges, three Pasopia7-dedicated peripherals and one Pasopia7 game, most of which I didn't even know existed. An Epson TF-10 dual disk drive unit (commonly available for other systems but this was the first time to see the Pasopia7 unit), a color printer/plotter, and an RS-232 adapter round out the peripherals collection. It also included a modem, which while not Pasopia7-specific, is pretty neat-looking. The game is 3-D Bomber Man (yes, that Bomber Man [it even says so on the box]). Everything but the modem was contained in its original box, and it seems like every manual and other piece of paper was saved, except the warranty cards which I might imagine were dutifully filled out and mailed off. continued ⇒
Game for the evening is Dragon Buster. It’s an RPG-accented jump-and-slasher. Tonight was my second attempt and I managed to pass level three, where I died last time, without enough vitality left to sustain one more hit. Skin of my teeth! Managed to get to the boss of level five this time. continued ⇒
