On the original Megadrive, in certain games like Sonic, I have a blue border top, left and right, the bottom of the screen is cut off.

Is this the TVs fault?

At the weekend I inherited a Amiga A500Plus from a good friend who was having a clearout prior to moving in with his fiancee. It's in working order and complete with 'Brick' PSU. A520 modulator, original mouse and Workbench 2.04 disks as well as a disk box (remember those?!) of original games and Deluxe Paint 3.

Was very tempted to hang on to it but don't really have room :( What do you guys think it's worth as a bundle?

Anyone planning on going to Playexpo this year?

It's been held at Event City which is next to the Trafford Centre, October 12-13.

Tickets haven't gone on sale yet but i've already booked a hotel. If last year was anything to go by then this year should be even better :)

Never heard of it until now but definitely want to check it out. Is there enough to do for two days? Think I might reserve a hotel room anyway, can always check out Manchester on day two.

I've not heard of it neither, but my brother only lives 10 mins away from trafford centre, so I certainly going to look into it. Thanks Pal.

Awesome. Going reserve a room later today, looks like it's going to be a fun event.

It's always worth booking a room way in advance. Last year for two rooms for two nights, I paid around £210 at the Premier Inn Trafford Centre West but when I checked again in August (out of curiousity) it would have cost me £380!! :eek:

I have a massive retro collection, loads of doubles I'd like to sell or swop. Shame OcUK doesn't add a buy/sell/swop retro section to the members market tbh. Anyone else think this is a good idea?

In order to keep the good karma of the retro thread going after oneshotkill kindly gave me a cube. (Cheers bro :))

Would anyone like a free boxed copy of rogue leader for the cube. Box has a crack/bit missing near top but disk and manuals are nice and tidy

Cheers

Ben
