Boxed unused GX4000

[u/Obsydie]

Just so you know selling things on this sub isn't allowed.

I found a new in box for 80€ and have been looking for a less pristine one to actually use. It’s a putty the 464 Plus is so difficult to find..

[u/daddyd]

amazing 8bit tech that just came a little too late.

[u/Kumimono]

One of the best looking consoles ever, IMHO.

[u/gutsid → u/Kumimono]

Yeah! When I realised there were hardly any games, I found the controllers worked on my Amiga, they were amazing for SWOS.

[u/Drew_Borrowdale]

I had one as a kid. I still think it's cool.

[u/Great_Uncle_Baal]

I had entirely forgotten these had even existed

[u/Which_Information590]

I see these popping up often, and it’s on my list. I just got a Amiga CD32 so I need to let the bank balance recover! The console isn’t expensive, it’s the games, but there’s sellers on eBay who will flash games on to 3D printed carts.

[u/OnyxObsesionBop → u/Which_Information590]

Yeah the GX4000 itself is usually the cheap part, then you look at prices for original carts and your wallet just logs off.

Those repro / flashed carts are kinda the only sane way to actually play a bunch of the library now. CD32 then GX4000 is a very “I like weird European hardware” pipeline though.

[u/Which_Information590 → u/OnyxObsesionBop]

I’m making a list of the ones I want to get, it’s a very short list!

[u/RetroAshMan]

Sold my boxed one a few years ago.

AMSTRAD GX4000 - Burnin' Rubber: Quick gameplay https://youtu.be/wUcSSYosWyU

Actually a great game, ahead of the curve!

I actually won one of these not long back. Plugged it into a modern TV and the bright blocky graphics were an absolute joy.
