I decided to take the plunge this weekend and buy a Commodore 16 off ebay. I've always been curious about the VIC's replacement machine,often saw the games on shelves but never got to try one out before, so settled on this one:

A lot of money, but the seller seems genuine and has thoroughly tested the machine, so hopefully all will be well. I also ordered a pair of copper heatsinks for the CPU & TED chips, they have thermal tape so nice and easy, hopefully this precaution with give the machine a long happy life.

Other thing I bought too was a copy of Pizza Pete, it's a clone of Burgertime for C16, hopefully it's a good version as Burgertime is one of my favourite games.
Any recommendations for other C16 titles? Tutti Frutti looks brilliant, but none on ebay right now that i can see.
I will probably get Hektik & Prospector Pete too as they look a lot of fun.
