I kind of want to tear it apart so I can do the C64 DTV Hacking things.

Would be really awesome to use the PS2 chip to make a mini C64.

PS2?

i thought about making one too. into a portable C64 ultra small laptopy thingy too but no1 has a reliable SD card reader project yet do they? and the keyboard interface could be a problem (was going to use a libretto 110ct casing etc)

I meant to type PS/2, as in the keyboard connector.

US model is NTSC only. PAL model can do both, has the games stored in Flash memory, and has a different list of games.

NTSC has separate events from World Games and California Games, PAL has the COMPLETE California Games. There's also less hidden stuff on the PAL version, although you can still get into Basic and type programs on it.

Cherry do some really nice little keyboards that have a PS/2 interface.

Argos currently have 25% off ALL their 'TV-Games'
http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/store ... er=7160357

The capcom one looks good - 1942, GnG & Commando - Â£14.99...

But the one I want to know about is the 'Air Blaster' one:
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/p ... Bgames.htm
Â£10 for 5 'air fighting' games..
But the shot in the catalogue for this looks like 1943 (or something very similar) - anyone know what this consists of?

Now I'm tempted to have a look in TXMaxx and ToysRUs on the way home! I don't need one of these, but for Â£12.99 it'd be silly not to have look

Ely, you might want to have a look for the Dragon 32 one they're giving away for nought with the 64 one!
