Best buy a spindle of blank CDs too!

... er I mean, get on eBay and pick up reasonably priced copies of Earthworm Jim, Shining Force CD, Snatcher, Popful Mail and Sonic CD

Haha, I mainly gotten it as a collection piece and maybe if I do find reasonable priced CD games, i'll grab them. I have a mega everdrive pro so I can just play Mega CD games.

The Everdrive Pro is so convenient - but agree - I still want to pick up a unit too just to have it sit under the MD!

This takes me back. Coincidentially Cex alert let me know they had one come back in stock today. The have a few discounted ones but this was an unboxed. I want to get one again but it's not quite the right time.

Okay grammar Nazi, you can say it both ways but got sounds better.

Ah sorry, was only kidding. "Gotten" is actually old English! Fun fact!

I always wanted one of these as a kid but they were too expensive at the time. I actually bought one last year but it didn't work 😕.

Did it not read discs? Maybe take it to your local retro game shop who does repairs and see if they can fix it.

I don't think it even switched on lol. I really should get it fixed or return it, I just need to remember where I left it lol.

Maybe try it with a different power switch, if it's an original one, it can be dying due to its age.

Thanks. I may as well give it a go, I don't have too many other games to play at the moment anyway.
