Yes, Thats Crescent Hawks Inception, the system is a Commodore 128 (early model without the enchanced keyboard [keypad]) with an Atari compatible joystick and a 5 1/4 Floppy drive, not exactly sure what the extender to the side or cartridge/extenders in the back of it are though.

That thing to the left is probably a modem. That thing to the right is a good ol' 5.15" floppy drive.

I have a ton of C64 and Atari Computer System stuff, but unfortunately none of my drives are in functioning order (or all my diskettes have been mysteriously wiped). No matter how far and wide I search I can't find a suitable replacement mech at a price I'm willing to pay.

Nope, Cresent Hawk's Inception.

Mechwarrior loaded with a Warhammer on the screen. (I shouldn't know that.)
