Playing some TI 99/4A tonight.  It has some great games, and I love the speech module. 

She's a sexy beast. 

VIC-20 boxed games:
 

 
VIC-20 screen pics using my homemade composite cable:  Crystal clear.
 


 
And this boxed VIC-20 will soon be in the "Systems for Trade" forum. 
 

A view of my attic, where most of my stuff is kept.  This is shelf #1 of 2.  Someday, I'd like to be able to keep this stuff out for use, but no room at the present time. 
 
 

This cart should be produced by Hozer Video Games!  

Always loved the McKenzie Brothers since the movie "Strange Brew." Funny stuff. :O)

@socrates63 I haven't improved any. You might beat me! I've been listening to music or podcasts or youtube when I play and it really seems to help. When my brain is distracted I get into a zen Pac-Man state and perform much better. You might want to try something like that. Might help. Glad to have another member in the 2600 Pac-Man club!

A call to all Atari 2600 Homebrew coders - MAKE THIS HAPPEN ! - 😆😎
OK, I am just kidding but I would love to slap in an original cart labeled like this even if it was just a hack of something else.
 
 

All good choices on this thread! 🙂 Popeye, BurgerTime, Frisco, Gyruss and Moon Patrol have immersive captivating musical themes.   

Wow I was checking out the TI-99/4A bookshelf BASIC games, they all look awesome! 🙂 
My best friend had a TI-99/4A growing up and I really liked the machine and it's colorful boot screen and the assortment of Tapes and cartridges we had. 
I also saw a GPL breakout game in the Assembly section of the bookshelf, always wanted to learn more about that interesting programming language unique to the TI, it sounds like a CHIP-8 type dialect closer to the hardware than BASIC and powerful enough apparently to run the BASIC interpreter. 

If you guys want to see what some of the games for the TI-99/4A are like before you decide to download them this link: http://tigameshelf.net/ is pretty darn cool!

Oh, I should mention this.
I recently realized that the Tunnel Runner theme is the bass line for Riders on the Storm by the Doors.

Quest for the Rings has my favorite retro box-art of all time.  The box, the board, the packaging is an A+ IMO.  But the game?  Ugh.  I'm sorry to say it's just a mess to me.  I appreciate the effort, but I think they got way over their skis on this one.
Magnavox made a total of three of these big-box board games.  All of them are highly collectible. 

Yes that was it, I never tried it on the 02 but I loved Dark Tower. The Physical board, pieces and cards added another dimension.  

Yes I miss the Fidelity Chess Challenger's inclusion of the Chess board with the computer.
There was another interesting board game released for the O2 with a physical game board that reminded me of Dark Tower, another board game with a computer in the center of the board like the Fidelity.

Adventure is a fantastic game in all respects. Truly one of the greats. 
But let’s not overlook Superman, which was made using the same “engine”. It’s not as polished or popular nowadays, but once you figure it out it’s a blast of a game.

I had forgotten about those dedicated desktop chess machines.  Those were cool, and I'll bet they're pretty collectible now.  Probably pretty hard to find, though.

Me too! At the time Video Chess was released there were dedicated computers just for playing Chess.
 I had the Fidelity Chess Challenger 7 which ran a 4K program which was equally amazing.
I like the way Video Chess strobes different colors while the computer thinks and that I can play in color or black and white.
The Chess Challenger showed animated eyes in the low res red LED move display while the computer was thinking.

Looks like a Pac-Man game that went crazy.
 

Oh very nice, I am glad they can enjoy it before the show, and now it is nearly time for its grand unveiling at Sillyventure! ❤️
 

I've always been fascinated with how this was programmed.  I can't imagine how hard it would be to program a chess game in 2k or 4k. 
 

Thanks Jinroh I'm glad you like it! 🙂  
 I wanted to release KC OS before the show but many of the effects look best on a real CRT.
SillyVenture 2020 has been postponed until June but I've shared preview builds with the Game Modem club for players who enjoy using the old hardware:
