Actually Red, there's no need right now.  An A1200 with a small fast ram card and hardrive using WHDLoad runs almost all Amiga games and has composite video output built in.  Maybe in ten years time it will happen.  By then, something akin to UAE on a small custom chip will fit in a joystick.  The Amiga owners, if still alive, would jump on any revenue.

Speaking of the C64DTV:

I just bought one today and I must say I am VERY impressed with it.  This is really a neat piece of kit, though I wish they had included Karnov.  I don't know if they are selling all too well right now, if the noticeable layer of dust on the top of the one I bought was any market indicator.  So I say to all you out there get down to Toys R Us or wherever and buy them up gentlemen.  Give them to your kids, nieces, nephews, grandkids (anyone?) this Christmas.  Then next year you can give them an A500; they'll never forget you! :)

Just bit hard and bought the HummerDTV.  Anyone else have one?  Funny thing, no manual with it.  Graphic fonts are just about unreadable; is this the dreaded PALDTV video problem?  I tried the games themselves, just about impossible (for me) to steer the damned truck.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong.  Any opinions out there?
