The complete Amstrad GX4000 Console

Essentially a CPC with a few extra chips, a cartridge slot, a SCART port and some preposterously priced games, Amstrad's GX4000 console was a proper disaster. A highly collectible disaster admittedly and an interesting, distinctly European 8-bit console, you could grab via this pretty amazing GX4000 auction on eBay.

You'll be getting two consoles (one working, one for spare parts), a new power supply, the manual, two controllers, the original box, a SCART cable and 12 games. The games include such rare pieces as No Exit, TinTin on the Moon and Plotting.

Seller ships only within the European Union.

A joyous bundle of Spectrum love


Really love those retro bundles; they are so full of little surprises and great stuff they are far too tempting despite already owning a ZX Spectrum. Thankfully then, this particular 48k Spectrum bundle can only be shipped to UK addresses...

Besides a fully working, boxed with manuals ZX Spectrum 48k complete with all necessary cables and things, you'll also be getting a selection of 16 classic magazines, several blank tapes, a joystick and some truly great games. Said games would include versions of Jet Set Willy, Spellbound, Kokotoni Wilf, Ant Attack, Elite and The Sentinel.
