Nice guy and very reasonable with prices, loads of interest in the stuff so can't see it lasting too long.

Holy mother of God! Nice work SteveSI! Which did you get? An original FM Towns PC?
The Marty and Car Marty are 'ok' but notoriously unreliable apparently.
Games-wise, get yourself Image Fight and Turbo Outrun for starters. Be careful though, games for FM Towns systems are seriously rare, with serious prices to match.
Congratulations though on an EPIC purchase. Must surely rank as one of 'the' GET!'s of 2012 I think. Up there with Martina Navratilova's sealed red-box Mario World certainly.
Tell us more about what system you got. Any seller pics? Was shipping horrendous? Is Dale Parish now spurred on to get one? When you get it, can we have a beers at your gaf so I can rob it have a look? 0 -

Just wait until he finds out he bought 2 of them....
and he'll be even more pissed when he finds out that he secretly ordered 2 x PC-9801s, which he has yet to publicly announce!

What the hell is an FM towns?
It's just an awesome PC (which later became a console). Hidieously expensive, even more than an X68000 and utterly, stupendously and exospherically rare. Like, we're talking rare than a PC Engine LT here. Even in Japan the FM Towns PC (again, we're not talking about the Marty console here) is ridiculously rare. Console-wise the Marty is rare, but the Car Marty is where it's at for collectors.
Games are not cheap for the FM Towns by any stretch. Prepare to unload IMF bailout levels of €'s just for a Mahjong game. It's worth it though, just check out the incredbile FM Towns port of Turbo OutRun for example.
By purchasing an FM Towns system, SteveSI has opened the doors to an exclusive executive lounge of gaming/computing collectors. The FM Towns systems really are the cream of the crop. It's right up there among the very best and probably the rarest items sought after by collectors.
Congratulations SteveSI. 0 -
I didn't think it was that great of a find to be honest. Sure, rare enough but you can get hold of them if you really want to.
I've had a friend over in Japan on the look out for a reasonable priced one for a while now and they came across it last week.
It's the pc version, complete with all the bits and pieces including the monitor.
This version here(generic pic, I'll post up the full specs and pics when it arrives):

I wont say how much it cost as Pyongy would collapse on the floor with blood coming from his ears if he knew how cheap I got it for
Postage was more or less free as I have a bunch of stuff getting shipped over via freight anyway so just added this to it at no additional cost.
