WTB FM Towns Marty

Get an amiga instead

Amiga CD32? I looked into that console a while back. Didn't see enough games that weren't already on other consoles to interest me.

As for the OP I know you already decided but yeah it's not hard to run Towns games on a modern set-up. In fact there should be multiple options that work.

I was thinking of messing around with emulation to see if there's enough fire left over upon playing to purchase the console later on.

Sounds like a solid plan. May as well try something this pricey first.

I vote Amiga as well, go get a spiffed out 1200 or 600 with accell card if you don't care about AGA

X68000>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>MSX
MSX>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>FM Towns
FM Towns>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Amiha

Unless you are really into Euro-games, the Amiha has not aged well.
Towns at least has Rayxanber, and a dozen or so solid arcade ports.

Get an amiga instead

lol.  yeah get a western machine with terrible games instead!  wowowoooooooo!

lol.


I vote you get an MSX.   You've already got a PCE, so the 16bit era stuff is all set for you. 

X68000 is OK, but for the effort to get one going, and all of that crap, you aren't really gaining much versus just having PCE and Megadrive stuff.

MSX is from an earlier time and offers something completely different in the form of all those goofy early 80s style games.

Damn Miggy haters, yeah there is plenty of Euro wank, but it's def got it's classics...

and it's got the DEMOSCENE, smoke a bowl/drop a tab/munch a shroom and fade out...cant do that with a f*ckin Marty, lol.

You have to be f*ckin shroomed out to even buy a marty.

Amiga is great for RPGs and like, Robocop 3.   

and the Beast games , but the beast games arent actually great games.  It's just the atmosphere/sound that makes it functional, lol.



Turrican is poverty.

much obliged!!

The kind-fellow couldn't remember where he bought his belt from, but pointed out this place that's currently selling them for what seems to me to be a decent price ...

I will look into this. I've only seen stuff here and there that looked interesting, like the Metal Gear games. Not enough to make a decision as to whether or not I should own the computer/console.

Hahaha! 

It's rather cheating to point to that game, that only runs on the super-expensive-and-rare 1990-released MSX Turbo-R as an indicator of MSX games! 

As a geek, I like the idea that you can run MSX stuff on an FPGA for far-less-cost than buying all of the original-hardware ...
