I only have two right now…

Actually, I think I will only be keeping one, but they were sold in a package, untested.

Methanoid · 01 July 2018, 16:50

I bought a nice A500 rev6a.. but without a mouse (I have an ST USB adapter and a Amiga-ST mouse adapter so can test with that) but worse still... NO FLOPPY DISKS... I need a Workbench disk so I can test FDD and Mouse work....

BarryB · 01 July 2018, 18:50

A mate and me went to the Video Game Market at the Doncaster Dome yesterday, picked up a few goodies:

A nice SEALED copy of Xenon for C64 on Disk for £20 plus AAARGH! on C64 Disk for £10

A couple Spectrum +3 Disks for £15 each: 4 Soccer Simulators and The Cycles.

Some Amiga games: Yogi's Great Escape £6, Legacy of Sorasil + Sporting Gold + Sports Spectacular, all three for £20

Me Mate found a nice copy of Deja Vu on the ST, the hard back version for £6.50

A nice Sausage, Beans and Chips for £4 in the ASDA Café opposite the Dome plus a mug of Tea, me mate had a Lasagne for £5 and mug of Tea

Edited my post now, thanks DamienD

Bought lately Syndicate (brand new state), and also Rally Championship AGA, and a ZX spectrum +2 (Amstrad version).

BarryB · 02 July 2018, 13:01

I bought a ZX Microdrive and 12 cartridges the other week, not tested it yet as my old speccy is buried under loads of hardware under the bed, think a PS3 and a couple of FD-1 drives are in the way

BarryB · 02 July 2018, 15:29

LOL, just remembered I put a £150 bid on the long box release of Shadow of the Beast II with still sealed T-Shirt! I Thought it would go for much more as the reserve price hadn't been met but I won the bloody thing for £149!!

Cheapest ones i've seen on eBay is a Buy it now for £618 that's selaed, an opened one with sealed T-Shirt for £250 and one with a worn/faded T-Shirt for £199. Think I got a bit of a bargain here

gururise · 06 July 2018, 23:48

Just picked up the following for my CD32 + TF328:

1. Black PS/2 Keyboard

2. Generic Black PS/2 Mouse

3. Amiga Mouse to PS/2 Adapter

gururise · 06 July 2018, 23:51

Forgot to mention, a week ago I pick up a Commodore PC10-III still in box:

I haven't set it up or powered it on yet; however, I've ordered the following components:

1. XT-IDE Card
2. IDE to CF Adapter
3. Gotek Floppy Emulator

A spare Toaster 4000 and Video Flyer.

Retrofan · 14 July 2018, 22:30

A classic brown vinyl dust cover for my C128

They say that you need to keep a few lesser flower near your rose bush to bring up the superiority in beauty of said roses. So, I just bought an Atari 520STFm. It's an european (uk) TOS1.4 model all tested working from Greece. Was looking for a STE but there were none in my price range. Since I'm Canadian I have to swap the PSU for a 110v one (already ordered one). I also got an UltraSatan SD HDD emulator and both a RGB->SCART and a RGB->VGA cable to hook it up side by side with my A500.

dschallock · 15 July 2018, 04:27

A scsitomicrosd, a new optical mouse, an atx power plug converter - that stuff from Amiga kit
From eBay- animworkshop, photon paint, cell animator
Locally second hand- a dell 21 inch crt.

Come on, it's so expensive that I had to post it. I will use it with the buttons of my old Hi-Fi from the 90's.

dlfrsilver · 25 July 2018, 00:57

Bought on ebay Waxworks french release

Nosferax · 25 July 2018, 02:10

Don't shoot me!

I bought an Atari 1040STE with 4mb ram and an UltraSatan.

I want to recreate my old midi synth setup, and also to complete my 16bit collection. I went for an STE instead of the STFm I used to own back in the day. Had to import it from the UK as they're getting hard to get on my side of the Atlantic.

Also got a few boxed Amiga an ST titles, nothing rare or noteworthy but I'm just starting collecting boxed games.

Finally, I received my Kryoflux and have a 3.5 and 5.25 on hand to go with it. I should start dumping and scanning the couple of Simulations Canada wargames that I have if it's of interest for anyone. I don't think those disk are protected but you never know.
