View Full Version : Why no TS2068 in the DP Guide?

I just got my very first cartridge for my Timex Sinclair 2068 system, Crazy Bugs. Then it hit me, there isn't an entry in the guide for this system. So now I'm curious.. how come? It seems that any system or computer that had cartridges released for it that were non-applications have entries. Was this system overlooked or is an entry planned? Maybe a lack of information on it in general?
This has been discussed before in the forum. For some reason, the DP guide folks are ignoring us! Probably because no one wants to do that section of the book (which Joe kind of indicated when I talked to him at CGE). I kind of hinted at volunteering for this, but........
It should be added to the next guide, probably combined with the Sinclair Spectrum (since they are basically the same machine - well, pretty much so).

If you're volunteering, consider yourself the Official 2068 Section Editor!
I'm not ignoring the system, I want it in the database but to date there has not been a "champion" of the system, someone whose expertise could flesh the cartridge list out enough to make the system stand with the others in the Guide.
Same goes for Video Brain. And CD-i. And Dragon32.
Where are the experts on these? Please report promptly!

Dragon32?
I thought I was number one geek when it came to video games and computers, but WTF is that??? :)
Dragon32?
It's a Welsh computer, very similar to the TRS-80. Here's some more info, though not much:

No problem. If/when you need any information/writups, let me know (for the 2068 only)!
I am the Champion!!! :D

I have a cartridge list, small as it is, that might help.

A Welsh computer? Wow... (I'm sure someone out there can make a very amusing comedy routine about that.)

"Info : 6809 CPU at 0.9 Mhz (can be doubled by software)."
Me: Hahahahaha
I've never heard of CPU speed being doubled by software. Something's truly, horribly, utterly WRONG with this machine.

I have been working on a Dragon 32 list. I have a complete list and I be darned if I could find time to get the overview together.
