New Luxfibre30 VDSL2+ Internet connexion

Hi, today I'm gonna receive my new High Speed Internet connecion from my local Internet Provider
But before I would like to post my current UP/DOWN speeds just to compare later with the new line.
The actual line specification is LuxDSL RUN:
max download speed: 10Mbit/s
max upload speed:640kbit/s

LuxDSL RUN from P&T Luxembourg

So my new line will be Luxfibre wich brings me 30Mbit/s downstream and 10Mbit/s Upstream with VDSL2+ technologie and IP Voice Number
Lets hope this will work properly ;-)
Of course I'm gonna post the new result soon...

Nebulus game for many Platforms

Today I realy enjoyed to play the good old Nebulus game.

Nebulus was published back in 1980 for many different platform. 

In the 90's I used myself to play it on MS DOS PC386 an was immediatly passionated by the gameplay of turning Tower. Other ports of the game are, Castelian for the GameBoy, Kyorochan Land, Subline and Tower Toppler(for the iPhone)

Today I used to play Nebulus in DOSBox emulator "Boxer"

Boxer is a very good DOS emulator and works very well on my iMac with Lion installed!

You can get it for free at http://boxerapp.com/

These screenshots are taken directly from the Emulator on my Mac;

Getting over the first tower was very hard (i'm not a good gamer) but I enjoy the game.

You can find several youtube videos of the game; just search for Nebulus.

Because I love the game so much, I decided to buy it for my Game Boy (Castlian)

So stay tuned for a another review of the Game Boy version ;-)

New Games awaiting :-)

Yes eBay is the best thing that could happen to all collectors on the world.
I recently bought an GameBoy Color and GameBoy Advanced SP M101 with 9 Games for a few bucks.
I'm still waiting to get those stuff in my hands and sure I will make a review as soon as possible

The Games are:

Original GameBoy:

• Alleyway, Super Mario Land2
• 6 Golden Coins

GameBoy Color:

• Chicken Run
• Pokemon Red Version

GameBoy Advanced:

• Spongebob Square Pants Video Vol.2 and Movie
• Ice Age2
• Justice League
• Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones

My Nintendo Consoles

These are my other Nintendo Game Boy Consoles, wich I use rarely...

The old Game Boy yellow in original case:

The Game Boy Light, wich came with a better monochrome Display, and smaller;

I am owning these Game Boys for collection purpose only. Playing my games on the GBA beause of the better screen.

My Nintendo GameBoy Advanced SP

This is my new GameBoy Advance SP, wich I recently purchased for 30€ on eBay;

The Gameboy Advance SP M101 was the first model wich came with a backlit screen in 2005. It is very nice to see the old GB games on this display. Everything is much lighter and better than the crappy non-backlit displays from the older Gameboy Advanced or from the Gameboy Color.

I like this GB and was very pleased to play some of my favorite titles like Donkey Kong Country and Batman.

Hi to my new Blog

Today I decided to run a Blog over old computers and software. They so called retro computers, games and software are often forgotten gems and well worth to take a look at them.
I like to collect old stuff like retro games for PC/Mac and also consoles lile the Nintendo Gameboy.

My favorite Platform is the Apple Macintosh, wich I use since 1992! Before I owned a ATARI 800XL and the well known ATARI ST.

I recently bought a Nintendo Gameboy Advanced SP from eBay, wich I will take a deeper look at my next Blog entry.

So stay tuned and have fun with good old Computer Stuff...
