I finally played the GX-4000

[An Gadaí]

and it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amstrad_GX4000)was rubbish. We owned an Amstrad CPC 6128 and I have many happy memories playing games on it. I recall the ads for the GX-4000 but I never got to play one until a couple of weeks ago a videogaming exhibition in Manchester. The controller was a streamlined attempt at something approximating a NES controller, the game, Burnin' Rubber, which was the cart the console was sold with, was abominable. I'm sure there must have been a couple of decent games released for the console but that sure wasn't one of them. So after 19 years I'm left a bit disappointed.

Shame that, in contrast I could have wept salty tears of joy when I played Spyhunter on an emulator and finally got that bloody car off the jetty and into the boat :D
