They forgot to pack it in, but they promised to send me it later.

One of the greatest games of all time is now mine

Pirates!

BarryB · 24 March 2016, 22:47

Was that to coincide with Galahads interview?

Neil79 · 25 March 2016, 00:22

No, I've always wanted the game for years

Selling my great condition budget version now for£10+pp

BarryB · 29 March 2016, 13:00

New Amiga arrivals:

And an absolute GEM for the Commodore 64, ALL 3 BARD'S TALE releases in original square boxes:

For their age they are in quite good condition and all appear complete as far as I can tell, each one has:
2 Disks, no write notch so never been written too!
Manual
Reference card
Registration card
Clue book request, Bard II and III
Bard I Cluebook, no clue book request so can only assume it got used for the Cluebook itself!

To get one of them in good condition is not too common, but all three together

Neil79 · 29 March 2016, 14:05

Very nice!

Not sure this is what 1time was referring to but have you check to see if you have any of the missing scans in the hall of light?

Sadly I don't have a scanner, and wouldn't really know how to properly scan boxes/manuals/disks etc even if I did have a scanner

BarryB · 08 April 2016, 15:49

Amiga1992 · 08 April 2016, 16:32

I bought a laser printer and it made me very excited! Am I crazy?

The only reason to require color is to do things like print photos or waste ink (toner) in printing posters or shit one does not really need

If I need color printing, I rather go to a print shop. I wouldn't normally need A4 prints anyway, too small. And for photos, it costs cents to digitally print a photo anywhere.

Well presuming this thread was meant to be about commodore and not the entire universe....
Today I bought an Amiga 1010 floppy drive in as new condition. It came in the pristine original box including the poly foams and even the plastic bag. Picked it up locally (no mean feat in Perth Western Australia) and I've just formatted a floppy disk on it. Those lovely even clicks as it steps happily through each track are music to my ears. Enough of this rubbish.... now back to golf shoes and hamburgers....

appiah4 · 12 April 2016, 00:09

I got this over the weekend and got it all cleaned up today.. Feels so good.

whitegiant89 · 12 April 2016, 05:50

Just got delivered an ebay purchase.
Amiga A1200/A600 - PCMCIA LAN PC Card

Thanks to novacoder for the prompt delivery

Retrofan · 14 April 2016, 02:07

I've just bought a boxed new (NOS) datassette http://www.ebay.es/itm/191828081959?...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT for 19€.

A couple of days ago I finally found an Amstrad PC3086 keyboard for 9€. They are exclusive for the machine -machine that I just found for free- and very rare.

Now I will be able to see what it has in the HD... I hope that Windows 3.0 and some stuff

My "XT" has two floppy drives: 3 1/2 and 5 1/4
