Probably a TUV reject.

Ebay is getting wild overpriced, even their old computers are going for silly money.

Yet when I list stuff I never get anyone wanting to buy.

I always fancied this when I was young but never understood how it worked

Basically it is a video of a car driving and you steer a plastic car in front of the tv.

That's a proper classic, that is; they weren't terribly successful when they were new, so there aren't likely to be many of them around. It was a 386 PC that came out after the 486 processor had taken hold in the market, so the PC aspect wasn't up to scratch. The thing also cost $1,000 from new, so it was too expensive for its target gaming market. Too crap for business, too costly for gamers.

I would be tempted. He has the unit on its own for £120 on a seperate listing. Wee bit steep but then it is rare.

Never saw one in real life. Good idea. Shame they couldnt put an xbox in a PC. But then the question asked now would be the same as then, why not just game on the PC?

Sega sold a Terra PC themselves which was a similar idea.

you can mate,
just download an Emulator, ive not tried the xbox on pc yet but tried others,

[sirwiggum]

I have many emulators for all sorts of game machines, but it is never the same as having the actual machine.

Not the same playing on a keyboard either as the proper joystick / pad.

idunno mate,
the Emu -lators do there job,

and some come with 800 plus games, and there free,

the Snes 64 emu is good for the old Mario cart,

[sirwiggum]

I used to run UltraHLE for N64 games, MArio Kart was doable and was nice seeing it in hi definition PC resolution, but something like Goldeneye was awkward as hell to play on a keyboard.

I use the Wii for Mario Kart64 with the classic controller, and bought an N64 from Nutts Corner market for a £5 to play Goldeneye.

[lozz]

The Mario cart is ok now and again,
the keyboard is abit awkard, iagree,

iprefare the xbox, Red dead redemption is a adictive,
and the theft auto as gone abit crazy just latley online, someones modded a few files,

[highlander]

I love the Playstation controllers, so I bought a USB-to-Playstation adapter and plugged a PS controller into it, and connected it to my PC. The PC recognizes it as a USB game pad with rumble functionality; the analog sticks even work. I use that for emulation purposes.

Still love playing International Karate + (IK+) on an emulated Amiga - that game was a hoot.

[sirwiggum]

I think you can buy xbox controllers for the PC too, I'd rather be able to plug my current ones in.

Red Dead was alright, I got as far as going to Mexico then got bored.

Grand Theft Auto was about the only online game I liked, you can ignore the hyper gaming kids and just go and steal a helicopter and muck about in the city.

Liked Bioshock and the Fallout games, currently working my way through Skyrim.
