8220 aren't as common as 8235, 8245 or 8250s. I guess that's the reason the price went too high for you. But why don't you try placing your bids on a 8235? Has an adjustable kb, simple sided diskdrive (which you don't need to use), 2 cartridge ports, SCART out, 2 joystick ports, 64kB memory, 128kB VRAM. It's the ideal machine to play cart games on.
Ohw, I forgot the main advantage: they're cheap, 'cause no-one wants them (mainly because they lack enough memory and the single sided FDD). Good luck!  |

though I find 65 euros exaggerated...d=tail is right,aim for the 8235... that will guarantee a lot more fun, and shouldn't be expensive... 25 euros should be possible I think........right?

Holy shit, that 8220 is going for 54e at the moment!
There is one 8235 for sale. Minimum bid 20e or Buy It Now at 30e , but i'm probably not going to bid on it as i'm trying to get a CD-drive for my PC Engine console, so i need money.
Anyone have one for sale, by the way? |

8235 for 25 or 30 euros is still expensive. 15 would be a very fair price. When you're spending 25 or 30 euros, you should get a 8245 or maybe even a 8250 for it |

The NMS8220 is a nice collectors item. But with its missing diskdrive and low memory not a machine I would recommend for a general purpose MSX-2 machine .
As others said: get a NMS8245 or NMS8250/55.

Yep, the US version, which is a shitty useless piece of junk, by the way, is called the Turbografx-16. There are atleast a dozen diffirent versions and/or expansions of the original Japanese console plus three diffirent US machines. Both licensed and pirate clones also exist. Just got the Interface Unit from France, only the CD-drive is still missing. This thing needs a hell of a power supply, 9V 1450mA. 
Thank's for giving me some advice on those prices. Would anyone happen to have an VG-8235 for sale for 15e+shipping? I might be able to buy one if i can pay for it with a wire transfer. All i need is the main unit in working condition, altough a SCART-cable would be nice too. |
