Tandy 1000 Vintage Computer System Review (2010x33)

Air date: Jul 23, 2010

Review from the perspective of a somewhat casual collector: is the 1000 series worth collecting today? A run-down of the history, pros and cons of the systems and games, what to look for and be aware of when buying. The PCjr may have failed, but Tandy? Tandy ruled. There are functions I wanted to talk about but ran out of time, like the ability to run in Hercules mode, further Deskmate and TL-related features and the upgrade options, but alas. Also check out the Maxis games of the time, the Tandy versions are spectacular - SimCity, SimEarth, SimAnt, etc.
