I used one a while ago, thought that's great (for the money), and it
prompt=

went out of stock before I could order one.  The review comments on the
fir=
ebox
site are quite useful - reading between the lines there are a few duff
game=
s on
there, a few clones, and lots of the old faves.  Certainly a lot of the

work with love 'em.  Only reason I've not got one is that I'm on a
SWMBO-in=

gadget embargo at the moment. :-(.

I've used Firebox a lot for other stuff, and they're very reliable.

Pete,

have you actually used on of these.
It looks like it could be quite good.

www.firebox.co.uk do something for (I think) about =A330 - can't quite
remember
what it's called, but basically it's a hand-held joystick/paddle with a 100
or
so old Atari/Intellivision games built in - Asteroids, missile command etc
etc.
Might be a bit retro for what you're looking for, but IMHO you can't beat
the
classics!

Alternatively, I had t  endure a boot sale last weekend due t  not being
able to
fit the cars in the garage, and there were loads of Sega Megadrives around
=
-
didn't ask the price, but anything more that =A310-15 would surprise me.

Hi All,

I need suggestions for buying a games console (possibley secondhand as I
d nt need/want state of the art).

It isnt for me, its for Sharon and Amber t  play games on.

I d nt need anything fancy as the kind of games Sharon likes are the games
on Open eg Beehive Bedlum and Tetris etc.

I was thinking of looking round the local car boot sales at the weekend to
see what I could pick up but as I know absolutely nothing about games
consoles I wouldnt know if I was looking at a good on or not !!!!

Keith (not a gamer !!!)
