Good morning, Fediverse!

Greets come with something that was a bit of a droolsome thing for a teen Sharka seeing them advertised and demoed on Bad Influence: The Amstrad Mega PC!

DOS gaming AND Mega Drive gaming? All wrapped up in the beige-iest of boxes and controllers?

Damn cool then and still today!

The PC side clocked in at a 25mhz 386SX, 1MB ram, and 40MB HDD - not the snappiest of specs for 1993, but there was some wiggle room for what it came with. And at a price of £500-600 in the UK, similar to some of Amstrad's other budget PCs, it was a viable option for a best-of-both-worlds and to get in on DOS gaming without forking out a thousand or more.
