Added 2017-10-13 23:01:59 +0000 UTCThis is a precursor to a documentary I will be doing in a few months on the Laser Compact computers. Had to get the XT working first.

2017-10-14 03:22:07 +0000 UTCI remember I got a Laser branded 386 computer as a kid. It was a lot of fun to play with and push it to its limit. I was looking online a few months ago to at least find a picture of that model, for nostalgia, with no luck. Great video and it is an interesting machine for sure.
2017-10-14 02:55:36 +0000 UTCI had a Laser 128 (the Apple II compatible version) when I was about 12. Now that I think of it, it was the first computer that was exclusively "mine." I remember I also had the Laser-branded thermal printer that went with it. One of my parents' friends once told me that they heard I had a "laser printer." I guess it was true in a way...

2017-10-14 01:43:59 +0000 UTCI know, right? :D But to me the best one was Thexder II with the music composed by Rob Atesalp (the US version). I met with him this summer while visiting David and he had some cool stories to share from the days in Sierra and how he ended up doing most of the music even though the other musicians were often credited instead. 😜

2017-10-14 00:29:27 +0000 UTCThexder! I immediately recognized the opening screen . That game was my intro to Moonlight Sonata.

2017-10-14 00:28:35 +0000 UTCGood stuff! The innards are kind of amusing in that there's so much wasted space; I wonder why they didn't cut costs with a smaller main board PCB (and of course the keyboard controller).

2017-10-13 23:59:50 +0000 UTCNice, I really enjoy the Laser systems in general! It amuses me that this one has the same name as the 80s car from Chrysler.
