Takara m5 (Sord m5)

I was just browsing Yahoo and ran across this. First time I've even been able to get my hands on one. Kick. Ass.

 

remembers me of a commodore 16

 

Whoa! Awesome!

What does it do? I see a tape and a cartridge, as well as som weird card.

Any information, more shots, or screens of this baby?

 

Excellent questions, all of which I can't answer. I'll know more when I get it. I've had a couple of carts for a while but I've never been able to get the machine.

 

Oooh, sounds exciting.

I love computers of the era, and Japanese stuff.

Please keep us posted, sir.

 

I got a Sord M5 (actually the UK version called CGL M5). I'm currently programming a game for it, a shoot'em up called Photon. It was supposed to be completed tomorrow latest, because I'm going to Retro Gathering, http://www.retrogathering.se
I had some trouble with getting my game working on the actual machine, it worked in the emulator (MESS). Works now though, but not completed yet.

 

is there a reason i can never see pics that japan-games posts?

 

Because it's two years old?

 

...LOL.

My bad. I just noticed that.

 

Here's two pictures of me with my game and some videos from RetroGathering:

I've had a CGL M5 for many years. It's nice to see there are still people writing software for it!!
