Beautiful, in the tackiest 80s way, innit? Beautiful and sporting a nostalgia emitting green monitor this Amstrad CPC 464 seems like a great buy. It does after all come with its original manual, the necessary cables,3 joysticks and 39 games, among which you'll find such 8-bit classics as Batman, Target; Renegade, BMX Simulator and Oh Mummy. Seller ships only to UK addresses.

    Hooray! Most of my CPC gaming was done on one with a green screen :)

    Wow 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...

    Yes, 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.

    I 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
