Hi,

I'm currently selling my X68000 Pro computer with over 100 games. The X68000 was a classic Japan only 16 bit computer which at the time of release cost a kings random but featured near arcade quality graphics and sound. This made it a popular platform for arcade conversions but there also some X68000 specific gaming gems available. For more information check out the auction:

Aside from flogging my system, I'd be interested in knowing if anybody else own an X68000 and what their impression of the system is? I remember when I was an avid ACE reader that the X68000 and FM Towns would occasionally get a mention.

Cheers
John

Yes, well I think a lot of MSX owners went on to be X68000 owners

BTW Serico I'm looking into the pricing. I was hoping to get a DHL quote from my work place. This will be cheaper but I'm having trouble getting a response from the stores guy at work. Might have to quote Royal Mail prices. Either way we're talking a lot because its 55kg of stuff!

Cheers

I own an XVI and XVI HD. Latter is upgraded with 8MB RAM, SCSI-2 (for external MO and HDD) and 68030 processor.

Actually, I have probably 200+ boxed X68 games to get rid of and the former XVI system. Many of the games are the rare Takeru versions (the ones which came out of vending machines).

Zoopster: btw, your MSX emulator list on JCEC is a bit outdated (The version numbers, at least.)
