The kits come with stickers to add panel detail and markings to the vehicles, but I haven’t added them as I’ll probably be taking the units apart again when I run out of shelf space. The little cones that make up the turrets on either side of the machine don’t seem to click in particularly well, and fall off often, also.
The piece holding the track up is simply a small cylinder with a cap on it, and it has a tendency to fly off when the track moves, or simply fall off periodically from the tension of the rubber track. The dog-leg in the tracks at the bottom, where it tucks up between the main wheels, is a bit of a design flaw. It looks good, and within reason, it works as you push the thing along the table. If nothing else, the track system is very cool. Even at double the price, they’re dirt cheap for the quantity of Lego-compatible pieces they contain. Admittedly, this was from The Reject Shop, where all good products go to die, but I can’t imagine the retail price for them was significantly higher. I paid no more than three dollars for each set. They’re not the greatest quality, but you can’t get any other Lego clone products with the Terminator name on the box, so let’s give them a chance.īefore I tear them apart, I’m going to be kind and point out that they were very cheap.

This decision has left the market open for Lego’s opposition to fill the void, which has lead to such things as Mega Bloks’ Halo playsets, Kre-o’s Transformers and Star Trek licenses, and Brickarms, a company dedicated to making authentic Lego-sized weapons for your minifigs.Ī company I’ve never heard of, Best-Lock, has now produced a small series of military sets based on the Terminator franchise (possibly as a result of the franchise’s ownership being in a state of phenomenal flux as we speak).
I also like that Lego, the company, has made a moral decision not to create military-based playsets. Its video input capabilities were limited to 320x240 pixel footage at a stonkingly low frame rate. Unfortunately, it had sod all processing power and storage space, so it was pretty useless at anything involving AV.

The Performa 580CD had the same casing as the Macintosh TV, but in standard beige, and somewhat similar AV capabilities (no built-in TV tuner, just AV inputs). It was even designed with a black casing, to give the illusion that it's an appliance, and not a beige computer. The Macintosh TV was meant to be a kind of bridge between the personal computer and home entertainment, kind of like the AppleTV would eventually become, but it was a total failure. It was a weird model that sat in-between the standard Quadras (the "real" Macs of the time) and the utterly bizarre Macintosh TV. * When I say "Quadra knock-off", it was a Performa 580CD. Most of it, such as it was, was made in Clarisworks. It was a financial disaster, and it certainly did my social life no favours, but hey. When I was 14, I took it upon myself to publish a magazine/newspaper thing. While my primary objective was to play Prince of Persia and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, I ended up booting up Clarisworks 3.0 for a bit of nostalgic desktop publishing. One of my first Macs was a Quadra knock-off* running System 7.5, so I was pretty happy to fire up Basilisk II and see what it could do.

I've recently started playing around with software emulation of old Mac operating systems.
