I do have an Amiga 1200, one of the best computers I've ever owned!! I've always wanted to try and get a Amiga 4000 tho... Can never seem to find a decent one at a price I could afford!! :(

Well I found out today my best mates wife is off to a car boot tomorrow. So I gave her a list of retro stuff to look put for and bit of cash. Let's see what she comes back with if anything at all. Hopefully she will find an Amiga there.

What is this 68030 accelerator? Does it increase the processing MHz? What Amiga's are compatible?
 
Nice to see Amigas are still so popular,

Heres my addition to the thread

There are different types of 68030 accelerators for the different amigas.

The 68030 accelerator I had was a daughter board that fitted in the trapdoor of my A1200.

It basically upgrades your original CPU with a faster one, and also most boards gave some extra ram too.
 
So jealous, growing up and parents moving i have none of my retro consoles bar a few megadrive games and a dream cast. =(
I think ill have to start a collection going soon to decorate my new room! :D

my mission for jan/feb is to pick up a complete samba de amigo on dc - let the bidding commence

I have two complete sets ( one uk pal and one Jap) :p

I remember importing Samba De Amigo ver2k from liksang many a moon ago, It was definitely my party game of choice until Guitar Hero appeared.

Just to tip you off a bit... I'll probably be selling at least one set in the next week or so as I unfortunately need the space for when I move into my new flat :( Keep an eye on the MM

Nope:( She said there was a small retro collection there but not any of the ones I listed.

Nice Amiga collection you have there Jaymond:)

It sure is, the working ones are all clean white, which is refreshing. I'd rather it be that way than the disgusting yellow :p

Prices for the boxed examples have shot through the roof this year, being atleast 20 year anniversary on some models.

Now lets say in the next 5-10 years what will the 500 600 and 1200 be worth? Right now a clean white boxed 1200 can sell for between £130 and 200

I found my gamegears and they both work!!! I'm not too sure where all the games are though :(
I've had a quick go of the 4-in-1 pack, sonic 1 and lucky dime caper. I forgot how unforgiving Lucky dime caper is on the game gear compared to the master system version :p I've also found an xmen game that I never knew i had lol
 
After taking a bit of a break from pretty much gaming in general I started playing Gunstar Hero and Golden Sun on the GBA slot on my DS. I had almost forgotton how awesome Gunstar Hero was!
