Nice, mine has been shipped now but I'm not expecting it until Thursday TBH.

Having a scout round eBay this morning, and I picked this up, untested, for £29.99, not a bad price

I thought I'd have a look at the Colecovison while I was at it, but wow, they are really quite expensive. I'll be leaving it for now!

I think you need to start attending RRA (Retro Repairs Anonymous) @rubber_jonnie

Got that one too back in 1985, when its production has already been stopped.

I had two consoles at this time, the second one was a Magnavox Odyssey 2 (or Videopac):

You'd think I'd be a founding member...

I always really liked the look of the Videopac, looked so modern, but I was never a console fan until my first one, a Mega Drive. In 1985 I was probably still using my Spectrum, maybe even a 800XL.

Do you still have them, that Videopac looks cool.

Managed to snag a copy of Zaxxon for the Intellivision from ebay too:

It's a game I'm quite fond of, but not very good at...

I like the way they say, "Based upon the real arcade game."

Nice get out clause.

Oh wow @rubber_jonnie.

My uncle had one of those Intellivisions in the mid 80s.

I spent quite a bit of time on Snafu (a Tron cycles/snake clone), the official Tron game, where you wander around a maze and there was another game, sort of like the trench scene from Star Wars; cant in the life of me remember the name though.

Yeah, it wasnt a bad system.

I think the next time he bought a new game machine it was an STFM.
