I collect all generations of game consoles from Pong to PS5. I’m a fan of vintage computers and electronics, space tech, Star Wars, and Sci-fi. A vintage nerd!

The latest addition to the Star Wars collection in the game room. Looking forward to getting the drive going on this full scale R2 Astromech. #StarWars #starwarscosplay #GamersUnite #ShareYourGames #gamers

I’m still working on R2D2’s little friend. Just some paint and detail bits left to go. #3DPrinting #StarWars #droids #arduino

Heathkit H8 Computer https://t.co/4euISEt58P via @YouTube
Fun project so far. I’m still working on the H9 terminal. If anyone remembers the Star Trek game popular in the 1970s, that was the first official game I played on this system. #heathkit #RETROGAMING #RetroComputing

It’s about time to build this little single board computer kit.. it’s an 8085 based computer with 256 bytes of RAM. Not 256K bytes, but 256 bytes.

@GamewithDave This one was my first

@GameyeVG That’s part of the 1988 Nintendo Power Patch Collectors Series. That dates you, lol.

@sincespacies The first arcade I ever went to had 4 pinball machines, a Space Invaders, and an Asteroids machine. Space Invaders was my favorite until Missile Command hit the scene.

@NotoriousJnX @GamewithDave A stop there, and a u-bake pizza made a perfect end to the work week!

This was my second time at Savi’s Workshop at Galaxies Edge, and it was still a blast. I would love to get all of the scrap metal for all 4 lightsaber types, but that would be expensive! Have you been to Savi’s, what did you think? #StarWars #lightsaber

@RDKLInc Blue was so much cooler of a look than beige. And those painted metal cases never turn yellow.

@TechTimeTravel Watched the video, and wow. Amazing pieces of personal computing history. I remember reading the construction articles back in the 70s and dreamed of building them both, but was too poor as I was just a teen back then.

I picked up this Heathkit VT-5A VTVM (1951) and found that it still had a battery inside that dates from 1951. Amazingly the battery has not leaked, I guess that’s why it’s called a leak proof battery. Amazingly it still measures 1.43 V. Is that even possible?!! @eevblog

[Primal-Bits @PrimalBits]

@gwssrox So cool that you now have this from your old school days. My dream would be to have my old high school’s PDP8. That was my first programming experience, and first real hardware hands-on.

I spent most of the day playing Wasteland 2. Very fun!! #retrogames

[Primal-Bits @PrimalBits]

I just taught @JulieToonces21 Carverna: Cave vs Cave and lost. To be fair, it is only the second time I’ve played lol. Fun two-player game by Ewe Rosenberg. #boardgame #Boardgamegeek #boardgamenight
