And then there's those computers that ended up getting a console version that wasn't needed.

I bet that there are people out there still waiting for the Intellivison keyboard component to arrive.

Ah yes, the AMIGA CD32.... :

That's a nice list. Im starting to find that the Sam Coupe was a bit of across between the Amiga 500 and the Spectrum Next.

There are some great titles for it? The Sam plays 48k but only in Emulation. So we might as well throw in the 128K as well :-X It even has a SID 8)

Kind Regards Baggey

It not a SAM Coupe original. It's a home brew. Plus I don't think he's selling them anymore, unless he's using something like an ARMsid.
I haven't checked out his eBay shop in sometime.

One of these days, I will have to see if he's still doing the floppy drives, or the interface to connect to a floppy emulate like the gotek.

I suppose he's not doing them anymore because of lack of demand.

Ive been checking software out for it and it's quite comprehensive. I suppose back in the day it's down fall was price tag. A bit like now!? :(
