Thanks! Battlechess was probably the first Amiga game I ever played so I was chuffed to get a mint big box version for a decent price.

I haven't even got a vhs player anymore but couldn't resist picking up the tape (loved that show as a kid).

...and the big Krang is just awesome.

I loved that cartoon, ALTHOUGH I could'n understand a single word from it. I watched it via satellite when I was a kid, it was in original dubbing and I lived in socialistic country... Great visuals. So they have never returned home?

My dad had one of these things, with a cheap CGA Sopwith clone I liked so much I put it on PC-Task on the 'ol 1200. Made for some interesting screen-garble in the area that wasn't visible under the portable. I'll have to e-mail that t if I ever get my old syquest cartridges working.

Picked up a Playstation 2 yesterday for £4.99. No cables. But I thought it would be worth that much just for the AC/DC converter.

Bought a rooted Nook Color running Android 2.3.4 for reading old Amiga magazines on. It's fun reading The One from 1993 and seeing them talk about the future of the Amiga games market. Reading about the Konix Multi-system is fun too! Shame it was never released...

Also got a Verizon Droid Incredible 2, great little phone, flashed to Page Plus to save a few bob each month (cheapest plan in USA as far as I can tell).

@Anna - I love reading the old Amiga mags - must get myself some sort of new device for reading all the pdf'ed mags now available. I used to really like "The One" - good old Andy Nuttall - he was funny!
