Today I received very interesting packages
Firsth thing first, this brand new 1990 game :
Well ... the box has been crushed, so I won't feel bad opening it ^^
It's open
Its content:
I haven't tested the disks yet, but I hope they work 😁
Here are some flyers
And finally the manual !
The box really has seen better days ...
I think I'll open it entiery (unglue it), put it underneath a stack of books and then reinforce it with thick paper inside. I did this with my MS-DOS 4.01 box which coudln't even hold its content properly and couldn't stay upright anymore ; now it stays upright properly, stays closed and just look much better ...
I like the screenshot that looks a lot like (and probably is) a photo of a CRT ^^
And here's the second package
Two 286 (the icl has a 16MHz and the Tandon a 12MHz) to fix
I tested the ICL and it works, except for the HDD and the battery
As for the tandon ...
Uh oh ...
This battery is ... EXTRA THICC
The mobo is in a poor condition ...
And the case has been better days too because of it
hmmm it's gonna be fun to clean up this mess ...
Pshhhhhh
Whoops the 33Ohms resistor broke
The KBC's socket is SOL
And pshhhh again
I cleaned the case entirely, I first applied vinegar everywhere (like on the photo), then scrubbed, then I used steel wool to finish it up, then I rinced it in the shower ... i'm going to let it dry outside for a day.
I'll try to clean the motherboard later, but I feel like it's going to be long and annoying to fix 🙁
