● Description
Who didn't want a talking computer in the '80s? I know I did. It seemed so futuristic and enticing to imagine your machine chatting to you, what would it sound like, would it have a personality, would it be my friend? Today we face a bump back to reality.... it really wasn't that good!

As rare arcade cabinets of the 1980s go this might be one of a kind. It's a prototype sourced from the family of the developer himself and kindly shown to us today by Alex.

The Amstrad Mega PC is a curious thing, a 386 IBM PC compatible with a Mega Drive inside it released in 1993. I picked this one up for £100 sight unseen and today I'll see if it can be salvaged. Let's open it up and see what we find.
