Yeah. By far and away the most expensive game I bought and the only copy of it I saw over there.

That's the expression the clerk in A Too had on his face when I said I wanted to buy it. In fairness it came in a lot cheaper than the usual ebay copy goes for

That was the very first thing I thought too. Unreal.

At last, Fragile Dreams turned up here at work, and rather minty it is too.
Happy days!

I know it's barmy, but I love that film, saw it in the Lighthouse a few years ago and it was amazing.

BGOllie

loved LOVED the film and the 2 series made after. They were quite good. Got the DVDs still
and the books... and the books his son wrote... I love DUNE.

and lamps too

Myself and my good lady are also big fans of Dune. Although I'm not that fond of the recent(ish) mini series.
Been on the lookout for some screen used props over the last while actually.

I assume you fans have seen Jodorowsky's Dune, thoughts??

I can get you a bucket of sand used in the movie

Not seen the mini-series loved the movie so might check it out.

haven't seen it. I wasn't even aware it had been made at all, i thought it was abandoned or sth . He admited himself not having read the books.
saw a few docuvids on youtube but it looked like it was just a mishmash of different art styles, phalic symbols, ****-spitting machines and not at all respectful of the vision of the author.

thought the first mini series was a good attempt and complemented the film in a way.

If you could put a sticker on the side of the bucket and sign it as authentic Screen used Dune sand we have a deal

It's just a documentary, he didn't get to make the movie. It's be interesting if he did

I've read the reviews of the doc and it sounds like it could have been the definition of epic.
Perhaps we'll see a new movie in the not too distant future, I'll have to go and play Dune 2 on the Megadrive now!

Picked up an amstrad gx4000 today, with a handful of games, can't wait to go home, power it up and hopefully not be too disappointed! Will throw up some smexy pics in the morning

I remember seeing one of these on sale way back in 1991! As a poor 1st year college student I could not afford one back then but managed to scrape enough money for a sega megadrive not long after.:)

My kickstarter reward for that Amiga book arrived today. Pretty nice actually and signed by Phil Thornton and John Twiddy.

Boxed Amstrad goodness!



We got power!!



We got games!!!



Yay, it works



Well Burnin' Rubber, the pack in game, ain't great to start with. Maybe No Exit is better?



Well that didn't last long. A very very poor man's fighting game. Maybe Barbarian II will be as good as I remember on the aul c64 way back when





Feck! I can't turn round! Will have to find the manual online and learn the moves again, I fancy some head chopping so will come back to this. Decent port. Now for Switchblade!





Ooh! Pointless storyline!!





Jakers!! Okay ya got me, this is gonna be good! Let's go kick some butt Hiro!!



Meh, poor generic platformer It took me a good few minutes to realise this wasn't a dead end, you have to walk left STRAIGHT THROUGH THE WALL??!! Who even does that??!!



Gah!! Another dead end!!

Ah in fairness it's a niche console, I think I'll get a bit of enjoyment out of Barbarian II and Switchblade when I get into them, gonna keep my eye out for a copy of Pang too.

Oblig picture of where the magic happens!!

Check out the CPCWiki forum, a flash cartridge has just been released for the GX4000 and CPC+ range with plenty of original Amstrad CPC games being converted to cartridge format.

I love the fact that we can tell how far into your play session you are by how empty your beer gets towards the end. :P

Now that might just about make it worth owning

Finally ordered, I think, the final two rgb cables for the collection, a Saturn one and one for the Sega CDX, the latter simply being a MD2 rgb cable.
Also ordered Sonic Wings for the PS2, a nice collection with all sorts of extras.

Seems they can convert games released on disks to cart/ROMs, list here.
I'd think I'd like a 6128plus, fear of getting a good game to find out it needed a keyboard input

None of the old CPC 464 tape games would work then?

The vast majority of them were also available on disk. Non multiload tape games are convertible as well I think.
