the Intellivision carts really kinda made the whole trip worth-while, and I have been looking for specifically that version of Scrabble for a while.
oh, and as an aside, FFG and GW have ended their working relationship as of next March 1, so anyone who's wanted any of those games (Warhammer/Talisman/Blood Bowl: Team Manager/Space Hulk cards, etc) might want to grab them before the year is out... (I'm betting the ebay people will jack up their prices for Christmas, usually do :lol: )

Havent posted in here for a while...
had loads of stuff this year (slaps myself, no room you see)
anyway
got an A500 1mb chip ram Red LED and 1.3/3.1 rom switcher (saves 512k from ACA500 maprom), (A500+ on its way), ACA500 and Supra Ram 500RX currently populated with 2mb ram, so I have a 5mb ram Amiga 500 booting from CF.... :D
The only downside is when the Supra Ram is enabled the ACA500 defaults to 7mhz so I basically have an A500 with 4mb Fast Ram.
when I load Frontier elite or any other demanding game I turn the Supra off so im back to 14mhz 68000, bit of a pain and a bit disappointed the ACA500 not only is crippled with 2mb of ram but if you add more ram it down clocks to 7mhz :( which the Supra Turbo 28 does not.
oh well the Vampire 500 cant be to far away now.
replaced the drive belt in my external FDD , working perfectly.
;D

A rare one
Just got this one today.
I've always wanted a Hyperion. It needs a good deal of work. I can't wait to clean it up and rebuild it.:thumbsup2:

so I was really starting to run out of space again in this small apartment, and getting kind of cluttered again, what with all the gaming stuff I have been getting lately (both at the thrift shops, and getting more Imperial Assault/XWing stuff) and I decided to head down to Ikea for a new bookcase (I have a small corner which was un-utilized and they had one that was closest to using the space completely, most I'd looked at were either way too wide, or very narrow, or were only 11" deep at the width I had to work with (31"))
I also took the opportunity to break out my vinyl XTC collection, as I have a bit more space to use them, which I will include here for the hell of it even though they aren't 'new', I haven't really seen them in the last 10-11 years.
I want to replace the cheap 'Vibe' turntable in the next month or 2 as well (I only bought it because it was a: cheap, and b: wanted to see if a USB turntable was of any use to me - I also liked the fact that it is very compact on a shelf), I was looking at the Crosley and Audio Technica USB/Bluetooth turntables that HMV is carrying in the $150-200 range and seem to look quite nice, and wouldn't break the budget too badly.

(much) more Thrift shop randomness, I really have to stop leaving the house...come home with too much stuff lately...
They opened a new Salvation Army store down south where I normally go, where there were already 3 shops (Value Village, World Thrift, Goodwill) within about 4 blocks of each other, and thought I'd check it out along with the other places.
