Hooray! Most of my CPC gaming was done on one with a green screen :)
ReplyDeleteJust like mother nature intended, then.
ReplyDeleteWow that's quite a haul. I love that 4-foot long rocket launch control panel-style keyboard. Work of art. UK addresses only? Rackin frackin sajja frajja...
ReplyDeleteYes, I know, infuriating innit? Thing is most CPCs rarely ship outside Europe, as they need to be connected to their monitor to operate and shipping costs do tend to get a bit pricey.
ReplyDeleteI remember playing on a broken one. Meaning the screen would come on and I would type like a madmen pretending I was space control.:D
ReplyDeleteMust have been quite a sight that :)
