Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
Why do they cost so much?
And 144 were sold.
This is more like it. I'll have two: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Valueline-PS- ... 43c2ba6bbd
And this'll be handy:

Everybody's dumping their pocket TVs because they're still analogue. But they'd be perfect to line up and monitor your micros at the same time. The Commie's resolution is low and I'd like to play a wall of them without stopping the AV outs going to the patchbay.
They should have mini-jack antenna inputs, splendid for patching to a Commie's RF out.

And hmmm, I could have a real monitor feel with my PS2:

Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
20th Century Fox? Can't be bad!!!
Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children?
Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
Yeah, Fox had a games division in the early 80s, and released quite a few titles for the 2600. I have Deadly Duck, but on the Vic20, and it was released by Sirius instead (the original developers).

Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
It's amazing how huge the spread of game companies were, almost with the savage reduction in game quality.
But this game is good. I don't care what the LGR says. The concept is sweetly quirky and the challenge is nice.

And I'll keep an eye on this. 'Band Hero' so simple even I could probably do it.

Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
Nor have I. Though I don't think I could use it in the UK. Still, you lot know my fascination for video consoles as musical gear.
And this should be plopping onto my doormat in a day or two. Knowing Usborne, of course there are type-in BASIC listings. But what on Earth can there be for an early home workstation book? I'm itching to find out.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Keyboard-and- ... 1480165880
This might be alright, though I don't know what it's about: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Music-In-The- ... 1480165880
Plus it seems skiffle will never go away. Maybe in a world of free, pro-level romplers, making music with junk seems pointless. Fortunately, not to many of us, as we found with The Music Club Book: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=8611&p=95380 .

Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
These just keep getting cheaper. I certainly keep meaning to.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ELECTRIC-SITA ... 19eb4fa31d
Even a cracking rompler and MIDI guitar can't keep me away forever.
Though for my money at the moment, I think this is more attainable.

Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
And I've been thinking about modded Ataris again. I want to use my mouse and Atari trackball, which you can't do on the emulator. (Unless I think again about a USB joystick interface.)

Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
USB Joystick emulator FTW, though to be fair, I'm not sure I could ever go back to an Atari-style joystick with any dexterity after having spent so many hours on PlayStation control pads...

Re: Reaping the Ebay harvest
Well why not plug 'em into the DB9 connectors of your Commodore or Sega?
http://www.tototek.com/store/index.php? ... 0obfig1j20
I'd also like to plug my joystick-compatible mouse into the Master System without it crashing, but nothing seems available.
And I wouldn't mind a PS2 backup system. I wouldn't mind indeed.......

Plus one of these seems to have gone up in price. I should have bought the cheaper one last year.
