New auction win has arrived 🧵 #RetroGaming #RetroComputing
Here we are, an Amstrad CPC 464 Plus in a rather tatty box, a boxed Megadrive 2 with some games
The Megadrive 2 box is in pretty good shape and it seems to be complete #RetroGaming
And a decent enough set of games #RetroGaming
The CPC box is pretty mangled, but (other than dirt) the machine looks good, and even includes the Locomotive BASIC cartridge and two controllers. It also came with an Amstrad Action cover tape #RetroComputing
@jonn_blanchard please don't tell me you got this for a steal, I'm already jealous that you landed a (baby) white whale! Good luck to you, enjoy the 4096 colours!
@bibbyameobi it wasn’t a complete steal, but not terrible. £233 with auction fees and delivery
@jonn_blanchard first thing to do is try the enhanced games like Stryker and Switchblade (well apart from testing it of course!)
@bibbyameobi ah, I should probably say this isn’t my first 464+ and I have a 6128+ (and no, you don’t want to ask me what I got that one for)
@jonn_blanchard grumbling noises (joking!)
@bibbyameobi no it’s fair, I deserve it
