Europe's oldest haunted house ride is currently operating at the autumn fun fair in #Basel #Switzerland.
It dates back to the 1930s and was lost for some years.
Thankfully brought back by a nonprofit organisation with crowdfunding.
That's some childhood memories right there.🥰

I went thrifting today and scored these. #Tekken 5 and #RidgeRacer were 5 bucks a pop and the #Matchbox Battle Kings vehicles were 4. They are a little damaged though. I wonder if I can fix them.🤔

I love the C64 cartridge version and the fact that it runs on a C64GS.
You could probably make a ton of money by re-issuing cartridges for the C64.
Btw you still owe me some releases from back in the days (Vendetta, Last Ninja 3).😅

I went thrifting today.
Here are some pictures of what I *didn't* buy.
Resisting the urge to buy that little crt TV for 45 quid was particularly hard.😄

Happy to report, that further testing was successful on this modern hardware, the #Atari7800+.
Once I got the hang of it, the game was quite fun and addictive.

This is very real and the final product will be one of the best new C64 available (close call with the Mega65).
It will be a combination of the Ultimate64 and a Myretrocomputer case.
Source1: Update #71 of the case kickstarter.
Source2: Official team list (Gideon is on that list).

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have an original cartridge or an original rom of the game "Harald Hardtand" aka "Harald Hardtooth" for the #Commodore #C64?

We went to the @Blast_Galaxy #Arcade in #Amsterdam.
The new location is great with more room.
Not so great: I counted more than 15 machines non-working (more than 10%), you can do better guys.
It was still good fun though.

We visited my dutch aunty today.
My late uncle collected and repaired old radios. This is part of the collection that he used to have.
She let me pick one for keeps and I'm in tears, both joy and melancholy.🥲

Amazing work mate, well done!👍
Before the official cartridge came out I created a box and cartridge for it.
It's nowhere near as good as yours, but I still keep it for sentimental reasons.

That's most of the boxed cartridges I own for the #Commodore #C64, including the o es I made myself.
My goal was always to collect all the ones that run on a #C64GS with no keyboard. And well, things got outta hand a little.😄

There's still room, but then again, I haven't unpacked the Floppy drives yet. I'll also do it a little tidier...soon-ish.

This is the #Philips #Videopac G7400 or Videopac+, also known as #Odyssey3.
With more ram than it's predecessor the G7000 could play Videopac+ games. An absolute novelty was the addition of a power switch.😁

Finally put the carpet that was upstairs in the living room before.
Not my first choice, I'll pour a proper Epodex floor, once I have the funds for it.
It finally starts to look like a #mancave again.😀
