For the Hot Gamers: I have a few of these Mini Game Fans for sale. You can keep cool AND be gaming!? It's VT369 hardware, 39 games built in, some originals and some standard NES ones. They're "basically new", have been tested, but the boxes have some damage. £7.50 each +shipping. DM me if interested

(I even emulated Lisa on my machine for the first time!)
