A Model 1 Atari Lynx with games. I had a Game Gear growing up only saw a Lynx once with a best mate who had California Games.
Enjoying it so far. If you use the password MAND on Chips Challenge you get a fractal program as seen on my pic.
Now, while i'm playing the Cannon Fodder, i can aim soldiers for the eye!
Great
Nice monitor mate, my congrats

My latest (technically first) retro-baby. Looking at some of the prices on eBay I was pretty chuffed to get this for around *SNIP*. Nice and clean and works fine. Actually it has a little more yellowing than my camera seems to want to show in this pic but I think my Canon is suffering from as much nostalgia as I am. I'll need to look into how to get accurate color balance sometime in the future.
Reason for buying? This was the initial computer I worked on when I got my first real job at a newspaper in early '88 and set me off on my eventual path to the professional creative arts, if you will. Actually we had Macintosh Pluses for the first month but they got upgraded pretty quickly to the SEs when the management realised that DTP was the way of the future
Ah, steamy memories of Quark Xpress, Illustrator, blocky typefaces, bezier curves and after hour shenanigans on Dark Castle and the good ol' Leather Goddesses courtesy of Infocom.
This is a dual floppy model which is fine apart from the fact I have one backup disk of System 5.5 and that's it. Expect a post in the Software Wanted, Apple forum very soon...

I've edited your post to remove the price. There is simply no discussion about prices on AmiBay. The only exceptions are when you post something for sale, you must state a price. You can also set a price limit when you are requesting something. Please have a quick re-read of the rules when you get a moment.

Really nice catch on that mac. Looks really nice and in good condition
I got an Xbox Debug Kit that arrived today. Having been playing with it tonight setting up XDK and extracting stuff from it, really enjoying the challenge of it all.
Sorry. I did quickly check through the rules but it would appear my eyes and my brain weren't on the same page :| My bad. Lesson learned.

Ooh nice. Just the card?
after years of asking for one when i was a small child and never getting one.
Today i finaly got something i had always wanted..
A
MR Frosty..
ok so its not the blue one with the open belly that i wanted in the 80's ..
But i finaly have a mr frosty..
After experimenting I find that it works best if you do it 1 ice cube at a time..
and it takes about 5 minuets to make enough shavings for one small bowl "provided"
still there you go got it now.
oh yeah..
and my wife bought me a 1leeter bottle of famous grouse. "hoorah"

I got given a Gimix Computer system today with a bunch of disks. It's an old OS9 System (not MAC) with a 6809 processor. I used OS9 on the CoCo alot, but this is one of the "true" OS9 monsters. I will need to find a terminal for it. But its very likely that I won't really get to if or a few years yet- to much Amiga stuff in front.
