Back in 2002, I returned from Houston Texas to Hong Kong as my H1 visa was expired. So I left US, a place I lived for 12 years, and get back to a place I grew up at. It was pretty sad moment for me: I was separated from my newly married wife and have problem finding a new job in Hong Kong during the harsh economic condition. So I spent sometime to recollect memories, and also trying to throw away junks.
And that when I throw away my old CE-150 and PC-1500. In fact, the real owner at that moment was my elder brother Nelson. Nelson didn't want this piece useless device anymore, and I am not a fan of collecting historical junk. So they were gone.
PC-1500 was a nice device and I spent quite some time playing with when I was in junior high school in Hong Kong. I didn't too way a lot of original programming work on it, but I did some, and then spent most of the time playing games I entered from the listing on Japanese magazine's like I/O, ASCII and so on. These Japanese magazine had some pretty darn hard core games for PC-1500, and some were even written in machine language. That was the day before Nintendo Entertainment System (Famicon) and we aleady out grown of Game & Watch. PC-1500 became the favorite pocket gaming device back then.
