Damn, that GP32 looks good ... a tad expensive at £135 quid, but I've got a 32MB smartmedia card just lying around doing nothing at the moment... Ah, £84 (+ customs and excise lottery) at http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=0&products_id=812&lsaid=242092

C64, Spectrum, SNES, Megadrive, MAME ... all the old games. Sweet. Atari ST as well, but Amiga is taking some time, showing how advanced the Amiga was :)

Anyway this joystick looks a bit lame. There is a Namco one out with 10 games that looks better, gamewise, than a few lame sports games. The Atari one is just lame. This C64 one could have done so well with a bit of thought - if it had a memory card reader then other companies could have sold their old backcatalogue of games online for a quid apiece, or as a huge bundle. Also a joypad design would have been nicer than a joystick design.

Btw, anyone played Ikaruga on the Gamecube? It is pretty damned good, old style shoot-em-up!
