3LL Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 why dont you just use an emulator for your pc? I was after an atari ST a few months back but decided to emulate one and I have downloaded tons of games for it, all legally from dozens of fan sites around the net.

Scott Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 you will still have them when your 90 Most would have said the same about a spectrum when it was only 20 years old but i have one from the 70's in perfect working order, boxed etc. They go for a pretty penny considering it only cost me £20 10 years ago lol. They aren't worth much unless boxed with all original accessories, which over half of mine are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aido Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I bought a USB Competition Pro joystick the other week from play.com and that came with a disk with a load of Amiga games, loads of crap ones though but the joystick feels exactly like the original ones did, I'd forgotten how good these things were!!
