I'd love to have a Mint, fully boxed one of those to pass down to all the fore-coming Mark996's......that'd be worth a fortune in the not too distant future.....

That's a blast from the past - I used to be addicted to frogger and manic miner!

Was debating it at the time but didn't like the keyboard. But did it not have 'Ping' and 'Zap' commands?

and 'EXPLODE' and 'SHOOT'. 'EXPLODE' always caused interference on the TV

I actually liked the keyboard and the cursor keys were superb for game playing. Unfortunately there weren't that many games to play.

I spent more time programming it than playing on it which, looking back, was probably not a bad thing.

It's up in my loft somewhere (along with my Electron

).
