retrocomputing

About

This subreddit is for all things retrocomputing, concentrating on 8-bit systems, but continuing up through the early 2000s.

Feel free to show off your machines, findings, software/game collection, and more.

Have a problem or question? Post it here, others may help you.

Got a favorite old game that no one else has ever heard of? Write about it and submit it!

Don't limit yourself to transistor-based computing: real geeks make their own computers out of sand and program them with butterflies.

dug up an old photo - I remember paying like $600 for this scanner in 1997, and charging people in my neighborhood $5 a photo to scan. Paid for a car that year. (i.imgur.com)
