I might be getting a WE4040, but it's between me and someone else, hopefully I'll get it.

You need to try games utilizing MegaCD technical abilities like:

- Batman Returns
- Battle Corps
- AH3 Thunderstrike
- Jaguar XJ 220
- Silpheed

and those MUST HAVE's
- Snatcher
- Flink
- Sonic CD
- Final Fight
- Heart of the Alien

Stay away from full motion video games, most of them are crap.

Got me a massive but excellent Iiyama visionmaster 19" CRT for a fiver. I wanted one of these for my first PC in 1998 but it would have totally mauled my budget so I got some crappy 15" which blew up after a year. This one is still going strong.

It plays a bit nicer with the amiga than my trinitron which has a couple of issues with indiECS but annoyingly the 17" sony is actually bulkier than the 19" Iiyama and can't go in my other monitor spot.

from flea market QJ Megastar SV 133 joystick for 1 EUR:



useless with NES/Atari USB adapter because you can not calibrate it (and size of buttons is bad joke)

I got the yellowest amiga 500 in the world for £7.50, I'll post before and after pics once I've retrobrited it.
I also got 2 acorn archimedes, an a4000 with keyboard, mouse and akf40 monitor for £5.50 and an a420/1 with keyboard and akf18 monitor for 99p!

Got to love ebay sellers who won't post stuff out!

Unfortunately it was an acorn a4000 not an amiga a4000. But I could probably still sell it for 800% profit!

yes ebay is a pain in the .. as auctions always freaked me out specialy for international buyers as in uk buyers get something like 10 pounds we pay double and if they are non euro costumers customs put us a rope even more tight than a gay in a tight pants

Yea same one, well pleased with the condition and for getting it so resonably priced compared to those recent price trends on eBay!

I stripped my A4000T 18 months and sold most of the parts dirt cheap, expensive mistake in hindsight as it will likely cost 3 times as much to rebuild, but will definitely be worth it.

Anyone remember that I posted long ago that I was getting a free Amiga 4000?
Well, I finally got it, but the harddive is messed up so I can't boot it up yet... going to have to replace that.

However, despite that little disappointment, it had me open it up and guess what I found in there... a Picasso IV card

Pretty nice to get for free, eh!
