Many of you know I love video games and that also means any gaming even from other contry like Japan or UK and last year I was getting super hyper on waht6 I been getting.
Last year I been getting lots of boxs from UK from a friend that knew I collect old video games and he sended me some that never came here to the US one of the box I first open is the ZX Spectrum 48K and ZX Spectrum +2 with 160+ games.
The next boxs are a Amstrad GX4000 with one bundle game Burnning Rubber and an Amiga CD32 with 17 CD games like Superfrog and Gloom.

The GX4000 was a commercial failure and is one of the least successful games consoles ever made. This was in part due to the GX4000 being powered by 8 bit technology and almost immediately being superseded by the 16 bit Sega Mega Drive (released in November 1990 in Europe), and eventually the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. There was little available software at launch in all theres like under 40 games made for it.
http://vesalia.de/ -- right now, their CD32 is on their front page. They sell games and hardware, too.
http://www.vesalia.de/e_cd32.htm -- the costs come out to $200 USD or so (depending -- I have no idea for where you live).
Heh. The ZX Spectrum 48K looks like a Commodore wanna-be....
*spends the next hour at Wikipedia reading about the ZX Spectrum, then the C64, going down memory lane, and learning about things he didn't know existed (like the Commodore 65 and 128D). Ah, the computers of the 80's.... where am I?

Man, those bring back memories. I first learned programming on a Timex Sinclair 1000, the American build of the Sinclair ZX. I also owned a trio of Amigas, an A500, an A2000, and an A5000. Still have all three Amigas, power supply is shot on the 500, the 2000 was reduced to supplying parts, and the 5000 is mothballed (Can't bear to completely say goodbye to a legacy.)
