Title: Intermediary Wanted - UK
Post by: Gorion on March 31, 2014, 03:51:27 PM
I am currently looking for someone in the UK who is willing to act as an intermediary between myself and a UK only eBay sale.

Long story short, I'm dying for a working Amiga.  There's a 1200 up for sale, but as always there's no shipping option to Malta.

Of course, I will be covering all the expenses.  So, anyone interested?

Bounce it by me if you want Gorion.   I have no idea what it would cost to post onwards to you, but I can sort it if you want.

I'm happy to help as well. It ain't going to be cheap to onward ship to Malta but I don't mind organising if that will help.

Now I'm wondering why you are desperate for an Amiga.

Because Superfrog was totally awesome?

Thanks for the help.  I'm in contact with Teaelle on the matter.

As for why I want it.  I actually had a tape commodore, and two Amiga's when I was a kid, a 500 or 600 and a 1200.  My 5/600 died due to the usual leaking battery issue.  The other one I have no idea.

Anyway, I spent most of my time as a kid/teenager on an Amiga, lots of fond memories, nostalgia, so on so forth.

Never played superfrog, I did spend a lot of time playing Lotus Turbo, Turrican, Xenon, Rick Dangerous, (some game popping/evading balls with a sort of line gun), pacman with several different tile sets, golden axe, MK, etc etc.

I would be, but all my hundreds of games were thrown away by my mother (without my knowledge) some time ago.

I'll leave it to your imagination to how ****ed off I was after learning that.

Well there's still good old WinUAE (http://www.winuae.net/), just need to find the ADF images of the games you want and a copy of the kickstart roms.
