This one arrived yesterday.
It's a Microspot Flying 2000 Plus analog Flight Stick/Wheel/Horn for the Amiga.
Paying 1€ plus p&p isn't the worst deal for an unused controller, I've never heard of before. Knights of the Sky, here I come.

I also saw 4 players adapter for Sony PS2.

I bought batteries today, machine is very loud and you can cheat by controlling your missile. Hitbox is small. Recommended to anyone.

We had that when i was a kid, it's a piece of crap.

To get it centered was hopeless, and once you got it, it went out after seconds. Could be ours that was just that crappy, but it was bought new back then. Hope ours were a monday model and yours are good.

Bomberland as a digital download for my C64 + Ultimate-II.

It's possible to center it under Windows XP but it require some time. Fast games like Defender are unplayable but it's nice to play Tetris-style or some other slow puzzle games.

To play Tetris you can use 3 keys, and not a 75cms joystick

For free partially burned small cat. She/he is in vet now and will live with my neighbour (I have old dog). My boss was very angry - I should be at my work.

The Boggit for my c64

Also I picked up a Intellivision a few weeks ago it came with 26 games and the Intellivoice module to but one of the controllers isn't working... but today I bought Mission X for the Intellivision and also bought a second Intellivision cheap to use for parts.

jPV · 12 October 2013, 12:39

Bought an used A603 to get some use for my A600 too.

And this kind of 7" TV for travel/spare use for Amigas

Got it for half the price...

And ordered Amiga RGB->SCART cable and Raspberry Pi setup from Vesalia.

Bought download version of Exodus - The Last War game, 3e isn't bad price.

And finally ordered Morlocks - The Outlaw of Fives CD...

Internet shopping may be little too easy :P

Paul_s · 14 October 2013, 21:21

Got my copy of Sensible Software 1986 - 1999 book today. A year later after ordering from the Kickstarter campaign! Well worth the wait, really nice quality throughout...

As a benefactor I get a signed copy by Mr. Jon Hare, custom dust jacket (not shown) and my name is in there too

Actually going to buy another copy as this is too nice and collectable to read!

If you'd like one then grab them here > http://www.readonlymemory.vg/
