A burger menu at McDonalds with Coke Light and fries. Is that what you're thinking about Dizzy?

tonyyeb · 17 September 2008, 16:37

I bought some golf shoes at the weekend. After the game I played on Saturday I can safely say it was £60 poorly spent! Next time i'll 'invest' in some Amiga hardware!

(Bought some Amiga stuff too: 4 way IDE PCB for my A1200)

You asked 'What did you buy today'...

Not really Retro-Retro, but I spend about 10 - 30 € each month on budget games I can find

DDNI · 17 September 2008, 18:30

At the insistence of my 10 year son, a Mouse/Joystick auto switcher.
Two player Lotus fun coming up!

Paid on sunday, delivered today.

alexh · 17 September 2008, 18:55

Nothing... if anything I'm thinking about selling, giving or chucking away a large proportion of my retrogaming stuff.

As fun as it was to keep it all these last 15 years... I'd rather have the space back in my conservatory, spare bedroom 1 and box room.

I toyed with getting the attic converted or the Garage made water-tight but both were too expensive.

We'll see how it goes.

Galahad/FLT · 17 September 2008, 18:58

I bought a Citroen ZX...... it's been binned now, does that count?

Try to sell first, give to close friends second, forum members third (collection only), bin last.

You don't know anyone who would want to buy a load of 1980's original Atari video game cabinets do you?

Zetr0 · 18 September 2008, 01:37

Thats an MDA 3 i think, I have an MDA II.... i can just about get workbench up on it.... and then it crashes

still its great to see

Dimlow · 18 September 2008, 01:38

its a windows mobile 6.1 mobile phone made by HTC, T-Mobile call it the MDA Compact IV, HTC call its the HTC Touch Diamond. Great phone, but has poor battery life.

Zetro, i upgraded to this from the MDA Compact 3, also know as the HTC Artemis, or the p3300

Edit.. The MDA Compat IV (4) has a VGA screen 640x480 unlike most that have a 320x240 screen, also it runs workbench quite well, i use it to read the Amiga Developers CD in bed!

Here is a pic of the MDA Compact III

tonyyeb · 18 September 2008, 09:25

Make sure you get the latest ROM for that. I've heard many issues have been fixed including help with poor battery life.

Dimlow · 18 September 2008, 09:28

Dont worry, i have already unlocked it and have the roms to flash.

blade002 · 18 September 2008, 09:32

I bought $32 worth of LPG Gas to run my Car & also Spinach, Carrots, Sardines, Lemons & Soy Milk

and also a bottle of pantothenic acid to give proper adrenal function which is responsible for the production of the stress hormone cortisol, and i am under "a lot" of stress!!..

Aren't you glad you asked!
