The Sharp X68000 Pro

When Sharp released the 16-bit beauty that is the X68000 it knew it had a winner in its hands. That's why the updated X68000 ACE and X68000 HD were promptly released, only to be surpassed by the X68000 Pro with its new OS, lovely GUI and extra expansion slots. To grab one of these wondrous home micros, you could do worse than checking out this X68000 Pro @ eBay. Seller ships worldwide and has bundled the computer with its keyboard, a VGA cable, the OS and 10 boxed games (including Wanderers from Ys, The New Zealand Story and Pacmania).

  2. I'm afraid only via emulation dear Mik. Still, I'd love to own one. After all, I'm more interested in computers than consoles.

  3. Well, it may be considered the right compromise, though I don't really know how good the computer part is :)

  5. Wow! I would love to get my hands on this. But, I can't imagine what my wife would do to me if I dropped €650 on a x68000. :(

    @ Raphael: It wouldn't be nice, would it? Well, you could create a secret retro gaming hideout.
