Mine now, and I've still got it :P When I first moved back to Australia and didn't have the rest of my collection yet, your Mega Plus served me well. In fact, I played through the entirety of Doom using it! It ran at a surprisingly playable framerate when in low graphics mode and with the display window shrunk a bit - I managed to get the matching Mega Drive controller for it and a similarly cream-coloured Microvitech 15kHz and 31kHz monitor (still hunting the proper Amstrad one and the keyboard + joystick), and I've been using it to play Mega Drive games recently. Thanks again Shane! :D

The Amstrad Mega PC was my first ever computer. My parents had it stored for years and years and inevitably, stopped working. I threw it away only recently and already regret doing so! It was a great piece of kit and I've not seen anything quite like it since.

probably you gonna regret selling it, it always happens to me when I sell something thinking that I don't need it, which is true, but later I regret selling it and start hunting for another one!

I picked mine up for free from a computer store that went bust about ten years ago because nobody wanted it because it was too crappy to play pc games and nobody wanted megadrives so i got it because i had a car and i offered to take it rather than see it go to the dump. Sadly had to sell mine and most of my retro collection when i lost my job this year but it is a very interesting and fun to use system i didnt meddle to much with overdrive cpu boards you can boost this thing upto performance of around a pentium 75 however the power supply needs replacing so its hardly original anymore.

Tell me about it Shane, I had to sell my two units as well. Which were the ones we talked about some years ago now :) . I just was never going to get around to restoring them fully and getting a hold of the monitor and other peripherals was just getting expensive.
