whilst cleaning the attic today, i un-earthed some great gaming machines - its funny what gets thrown up into the attic I found:

amstrad (i think) - black keyboard with coloured play, pause, etc.. buttons

sinclair grey thing - similer to the black amstrad

a black keyboard with optional tape casette - not sure of make or model as its missing the the cover that goes around the keys

comador 64 with cateridge - was there such a machine

i also found loads and loads of games for them, to name just a few wheelie, horace and dizzy the egg

i would imagine all will be slung within the next couple of days

I've got a Master System II kicking around somewhere, that thing was class back in the early 90's!
Also got a Game Gear, which has 1 battery cover missing and a dodgy mains adaptor, plus it drains six NiMH batteries in under an hour , and a Game Boy Colour which is OK in bright daylight but utterly useless in the dark.
I used to have an Amiga 1200, which was a quality computer, had all the classics like Zool and Lotus Turbo Challenge. Was a bit of an arse loading everything from floppies tho, couldn't afford a hard disk back in the day! My dad made me sell the Amiga 7 years ago when we got a PC tho
Still got my original Playstation tho, and it still gets used to play Gt2. If only they'd make a PC version of GT4, my PC is about 10x faster than any PS2...

yeah us pc gamers are stuck with FPS's if we want a descent game, thats why I have a Gamecube, Xbox, PSP, and I might go and get another PS2 tomorrow cuz its been a long time sinse i last played some Virtua Fighter...
I think the reason why i don't slagg off other consoles is because i like them all, but the SNES was the best 16bit machine for real gamers.

Yeah I had some Cartridge games that plugged into the back of the keyboard. One I can remember having was Wizard of War- couldnt get past the 1st level but was good fun :bang:

the only catridge i had was robocop, its un-used, never been out the box until yesterday

i only just realised there has been a philips cdi in the back room which i never knew about :bang: been playing cluedo on it since i got home from work - cant figure out whodunit though

found an atari catridge console too, got centipede and double dragon plus loads more games - its a shame they gonna be dumped

i cant believe the amount of crap i found in the attic, its like aladins cave in there, got all my childhood toys (turtles, star wars, ghostbusters, transformer, etc..), again will all be dumped in the coming weeks

why dump them!!! you could prob get quite a bit for them if advertized on ebay, or better in a computimg mag!!

i aint got the time to go through them checking all the bits work, have got to clear the attic for builders
