Glad to be feeling a lot better today, managed to give the PYE CRT TV a clean out, wow was it full of dust!!!

I thought a cap might have blown when I powered it up yesterday, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence of such, and there are no RIFA's, so pleased with the outcome.

Looking good now:


And managed to get a few games of Zaxxon in on the Intellivision:


Sorry about the image quality but I can't adjust the shutter speed on my phones camera, I need to find a way around it.

And yep, you read that right. Coleco Presents on the intellivision :)

Yeah, that Zaxxon isn't even isometric 3D. :-)

Lol, that's just the flicker on the screen, the game is a vertical scroller with ideas stolen from the arcade version.

To be fair, it's an Intellivision we're talking about here, so I can forgive it.

Thank god, today's covid test was negative. Still feel crappy and wish I could have got to Cyber Legends, but what can you do?

Glad it's negative. You'll still need rest to recover.

Thanks.

Yeah, I agree, still pretty run down.

All you have to do now is to rest in you bed and play your new Zaxxon game.

:D

Thanks, at least I don't feel totally awful like I have the flu anymore and I am able to work from home.
