Hi cant1rac To be honest for the old spectrums i would try and get a plus 2, but to be honest i think they just scare me on how hard they are to use, i used to have a GX4000 all boxed mint but i was not impressed with it, Never really looked into a msx as i never had one when i was younger, where in England are you based, if your in london i run a retro game shop in Croydon.

[cant1rac]

@discopot checked ebay the cheapest working msx is a starting bid of £40 nothing with it, the next is a jap import at £96 no good then i jumps £124 and then £156, just far too expensive to be spending close to playstaion 3 money for any old computer equipment .

you can pick up an amstrad gx4000 which was an immediate faluire and are far rarer machines for £30, madness to be paying £156 for a basic msx1 base model

[cant1rac]

@discopot im based in the uk.

my commodore cost £19 many off the deals im seeing on ebay are poor zx 48k's with not much else £30 bucks & £10p&p £40 is a bit steep, i'll look around car boot sales etc, i'll pick up a spectrum, they're common enough

its msx's now people realise how good they were, ebay price's can be steep with the better models hitting over £100.

occasionally your seeing 1 or 2 come down to something more reasonable, same problem with atari jaguars but ive got 2 and the cd unit

@cant1rac Hi mate they have just relased a re lease of dizzy ont eh Iphone i would get it but the controls are never the best for that.

surely you can get some of those system pretty cheap

are you based in the uk?

[cant1rac]

@discopot had this for the zx back in the day, dosent come up to the c64 or cpc level, its still an enjoyable game.

owned an grey 128+ (most compatable) which was replaced 3 times in 6 months.

seams to be problems with the power connection on the amstrad built models as well as the cpc, in the end i got a 48k which aren't great machines (down to price). no proper sound chip just a quite bleeping out its little inbuilt speaker.

hopefully this time i get a fully functioning +2 grey model

[cant1rac]

@discopot yeah! thats why once i got one in the 80's it wasnt long till i sold it...lol

didnt compare at all well with the amstard cpc, msx or c64s that i owned, especially the 48k.

im looking for a cheap spectrum & msx on ebay to add to my c64 & cpc (but im loathed to pay the ridiculous high prices) there were some good games, but they compare badly if the same game is on another system, unless its a speccy port.

so things like jets set willy and dizzy are still worth playing on one

Had this for the Spectrum +3. It was solid the first time you played it as you never knew where the spikes were when you were jumping off rocks!

How can you tell good graphics when colour clashes ruin all ?

[discopot]

i remember this game, had some of the best graphics on the spectrum

What is the name of the Spectrum emulator you use?
