I own a 4051 with a 4907 8" floppy drive system.
I have quite a number
of games programs for the 4051, including the classic "SHOOT" series of
artillery firing games, the classic "WEATHER WAR", and quite a few other
games. My nieces and nephews get a kick playing these games on the
"antique computer" when they come to visit. Amazing that these simple
games can be so engaging when kids are used to Xbox and Playstation.
Sometimes simplicity is nice -- the lack of flashy graphics lets you
concentrate on playing the game. I love Lunar Lander and Asteroids (and
would love it even more if I could get my paws on a boardset for either
one, working or otherwise)...
