I've had to delete most of this first post as no longer selling the Megadrive or 7800 that I mentioned, but I have decided that the Amstrad needs to go in order to fund a few of the other projects I have on the go AMSTRAD CPC 464 with DDI-5 USB Drive and 512kb RAM, all working and ready to play. It's not the kind of thing I would want to post due to the weight and fragility of the monitor but I am down south frequently as most of you may know! Looking for £220 on Facebooks and Gumtrees just to get my money back and pour it into a pile of ST, Playstation and Sega bits but would take £200 and a wee loss if it was going to a good home amongst any of our regulars here
Tasty and tempting as are all your system offers, Al. I'll bear them in mind - they're all good value but right now I also have 2-3 systems I need to shift before really considering anything new but as you know, I'm always umming and ahhing about dipping my toes into the 7800 scene... we'll see! Cheers, mate & all the best with the sales - you deserve to get good prices as you always add extra value with your tried and tested packages.
Thanks Andy. I've been shifting stuff around the cave tonight so in no rush for any of them to go at the moment. But, I have also been spending more time with the Anbernic emulation console and boy is it fun. I'm going to convert you for sure lol.
Hey Richie Sorry mate, have decided to hold on to the Megadrive a bit longer and try to make more use of it. Had a really good couple of sessions on it the last two days so it has recieved a stay of execution for now. But if you are interested in a lovely CPC 464 and DDI-5....
Nah mate I have had my love affair with Amstrad’s for now. I just use my CTM644 monitor for my Oric these days. I’ll see if I can find a decent Megadrive on feeBay instead.
Some crackers on the MD, ok most stuff was on both Snes and MD but the exclusives on either system are pretty good. Comix Zone is ace, Alien Soldier is great, both Vectorman games are super fun, Gunstar Heroes is just first class. A mention also to Sparkster and Contra, both are NOT the same as the snes versions, and play great.. I just wish it had a different sound chip So good luck with the Megradrive Ritchie, very nice system... PS, IF you can get a cheap 32X add on, then maybe give it a think. Sadly not a load of games but Star Wars arcade, Virtua Racing and a few others are very nice. As I only emulate the MD, I have no idea if the Evercade would support the 32X add-on. PS the retrurn..Erm, forget the 32X, stupid money wanted for it, and sadly unlike the Snes SFX chips, no alternative (that I could find)
32X Star Wars is excellent. Well worth playing even under emulation. My fave Megadrive games are Sensi, Super Off Road, Dragons Fury and Crue Ball. Good luck with the hunt Richie.
I found pinball games a bit hmmm on the old machines, even tho Pinball Fantasies was excellent on the Miggy.
I still play the hell out of it, Paul, and I have a real pinball Amiga Action to follow... soon! (yep, I know... you know my soons )
I knew the name and had played it before, so had a wee shot on it, yeah nice, actual decent physics and a giant EQ at the top of the screen Yup, I know your 'soons', they are about the same as my 'i'll send it in the morn'..
Never liked pinball games until I found Dragons Fury and now it's a firm favourite, just nice to chill out with now and again.
