Microbee 64, 5 1/4 FDD, Tape, Dot matrix Printer. (Green Monochrome monitor)
The best games I remember are
Defender
Eye of Min
Scavenger
Halloween Harry
Emu Joust
Mission impossible (I think)
(There are more and they will come to me.)
Just trying to navigate how to find these and how to play them,

Hello Jazman1973
Welcome to the forum.
Very similar system to the one I started out with, except I was blessed with colour.
Mind you, although the bee had the colour board fitted, I started out with a converted black and white TV and green cellophane until
I could save up the $400+ for the Kaga Vision I monitor and having a suitable cable made.
Scrambler was the first game I purchased & it's still a favorite and challenging.

Hi jazman1973 and welcome to the forum
My first bee was a 32k IC rom based unit, with cassette player and a green screen monitor. 1st game was Defender for me and still have an occasional play of it but now from a disk based bee.
You need to install ubee512 emulator and grab all those games from the repository. Arcade_1 has all the first 5 games and scott_adams_adventure disk has the Mission Imposible. Have some playing them and just ask if you need any help getting them going.

Someone contributed to the development of the microbee from its transition from an S-100 based system to an affordable educational machine.
