Recently, obtained a copy of Retro Gamer Annual which gives full history and specifications to several older 8-bit consoles.

Though working on building two machines, constructing a "test game" for the system (maybe an indie version of Super Mario...) well, it will be similar (during actual gameplay...) but far smaller and the RAM will be diminished greatly by way of processing speed due to older parts. This is what I've rediscovered, regarding home computing from the days of the early 1980's.

Release: (1982)

Discontinued: (1992)
