VCS / 2600
Could the Atari 2600 be any bigger or more coveted? Although not the first machine of it's kind (the credit for that must go to the Fairchild Channel F) the Atari 2600 was the first programmable games machine which appealed to the masses. At the time of release this machine was nothing short of ground breaking. The 2600 literally catapulted the gaming industry into the fast lane. It's long shelf life and army of dedicated followers are a testament to this machines legacy. Could it have been better...... No. It was perfect the way it was!

Page Of Aquarius Website (Hosted Since Feb 2009)

Welcome to the juggernaut of Aquarius web pages. I created this page to be a resource of information about the Aquarius Home Computer. Why do I care about this old machine? Well, the Aquarius was the first computer I had. My parents gave it to me for Christmas back in '83. [-original text from creator]

HELLO THERE!

Welcome to Retro-Zone.Org

Welcome! This site is dedicated to the home micro computer and video games consoles from the mid seventies (when I was young and easily pleased) to the present day.

SIGN THE GUESTBOOK!

My aims for this site (eventually) are to provide support, sales, downloads and information on all of the great machines which formed the micro computer and gaming industries - and to become involved with and help the other great sites on the web which keep these machines alive.

COLLECTORS!!!!

Take a look at my collection and trading stock - lets get to know each other!

The GAME DATABASE is now Online.

You can add game information and search the database!

There are currently 30 games in the database...

The last game added was: Crusader for the Dragon Data Dragon 32 / 64

NOTE:

Please be aware that this site is under construction. It is only myself and I have a full time job and work also at weekends. I am updating the site slowly but surely and have introduced an updates section at the bottom of this page to show my efforts. If you do feel the need to contact me with comments about the site please make them constructive.

I aim to provide the following information on the various machines covered:

History of machine
Specifications and hardware (including any add-ons or upgrades)
Software library (a complete list of software made including scans and information, screenshots, game music tracks and where possible downloads of the software )
Up-to-date coverage of all new developments of the systems
Support and services for the system.
The site will always remain FREE TO ALL.

Now that we are done with the serious chat! Click on some LINKS!
