Stacks of audio cassettes in Berlin’s Museum of Technology – too bad they didn’t include a selection of game cassettes for the C64, Spectrum or other 8-bit-computers!

A closeup of the telephone wall in Berlin’s Museum of Technology – the orange phone in the lower middle is very familiar to me, we had one of these when I was a child in the 1980s!

I’m not sure what exactly this exhibit in Berlin’s Museum of Technology was, but it looks like an oldfashioned control panel with a CRT monitor.

City Views on Tour Special: Deutsches Technikmuseum 129


Examples of early online gaming in Berlin’s Museum of Technology – there’s a Commodore VIC-20 modem in the upper right, a boxed copy of the surprisingly good Modem Wars and a Bildschirmtext-Module for the C64. The German BTX system aspired to be an early version of the internet, but it was never very popular due to the high costs and the limited offerings.

City Views on Tour Special: Deutsches Technikmuseum 128


Sadly, this Commodore 128D in Berlin’s Museum of Technology is not in original condition – it was painted green, which is a bit of a shame since an original beige version would have been more authentic. The C128 series was not only the successor of the C64, but also three computers in one: the new C128 with its enhanced BASIC, (mostly) compatible to the C64 and a Z80 CP/M machine. The C128D shown here also came with a built-in two-sided 1571 floppy drive and looked like a proper personal computer and not just a breadbox.
