Wonderful machine.

Mine's under my bad. Tried it out the other day and everything booted up fine but neither of my joysticks worked! Massive fail in the Jetski event on Run the Gauntlet. Seemed to take shorter to load than I remember too, might have to pick up a new joystick to try out my other games.

My C64 is dead. If my old games can run on this new thing then it might be worth getting.

Done before by Amstrad in the ST and Amiga days. Massive success then too.

The Mega PC is a fairly nice collectors item these days, but it was really poorly priced in the day though, netting you an average PC and a Megadrive for about as much as it would have cost you to buy each seperately... while making it so you couldn't use both at the same time.

But no. What you really want is one of these:
