I'm sure I picked up one local in the summer, but I think it was the normal 466 with monochrome monitor, that I had to fiddle with it to make it work, as there wasn't enough power getting to the Amstrad as the monitor power lead is plugged into the Amstrad, so I bought a new power unit to take the load of it, and it worked, so I sold it on ebay

Excellent game, box is battered!
Got a spare Amstrad CPC 464 now, cleaned it all up ( It was very manky, covered in dust inside, dead spider, spiderweb and bum fluff 
). All lovely now, what's even more fantastic is, it works!!! It does need a new tape belt, which has been ordered for my 464 and this one.
Yuk
Nice

Housey and Neil79 - those are some very impressive collections - very envious 
Found the MegaDrive stuff - not quite as much stuff as I remember and no official pads!
Most gutting of all is the MD switches on but the games don't load
Have tried cleaning the carts and the slot but it's not playing ball!

You can get bare console from the bay for £10 so probably cheaper than a repair unless you can fix it yourself.

Sweet games mate
This is what I did today
Tape Deck - Fixed
Keyboard Membrane - Fixed
Carts - Will need a Contact Cleaner as two out of three are faulty
I played an Amiga demo of this to death! It was very frustrating but addictive nonetheless.
I had it on the Amiga too which is pretty sure why I ended up getting it on the Mega Drive. It's also got the extra controller ports built in like MicroMachines for 4 player goodness

It.
Anyone else find it scary that Game Cubes and PS2's are classed as retro?
So many hours coding and playing games on it.

Nice - brings back memories from my childhood. It was my first computer; I bought it from Dixons in 1988 with the colour monitor for about £400 and had it until 1993 when I bought a SNES.
