Hello, I is Tim Westwood [explosion fx] and you is welcomed to Pimp that 8 bit. I'm gonna be bitching about 8 bit computers that have been pimped. Though I is 20 years old so can't remember these.

This CPC has had two 3.5 inch drives added + an additional 640k of RAM! I has a 12 inch disk!

That Atari reminded me of something I've got -

Game Theory Admiral, or, er, GTA for short.

It's designed to take Famicom carts, but with an adaptor, it'll play Pal NES carts too. Just needs a bit of balance. :)

More excellent stuff tonight! I like this a lot.

One minor correction, though: 'I is...' is an Ali G phrase. Westwood doesn't talk like that (the fact that he is surprisingly well-spoken adds to his unintentional hilarity). The mistake is not only your, though, Chinny: Radio 4 comedians do it all the time.

I don't want that to make it seem like I do anything but love this thread though.

That looks like if you pick it up, the attachment will snap off.

Don't know about that, but it reminds me of an image from SuperPlay where they had this big tower of adaptors plugged into a SNES cartridge slot. Though there doesn't seem to be an image of this on Google.

I thought I'd see what the best I could do was, but unfortunately I don't have as many adaptors as I thought I did...

What are the little flick switches on the side of the SNES for? TURBO POWER? Or region switching?

Region and 50/60hz, which means that it doesn't need all the adaptors in it anyway :)
