    Didn’t see the Wii at bottom.

    we still have wii. I dusted it off during first lockdown this year. I soft modded it a while ago so loads of games.

    sold guitar for guitar hero for £2:50 at car boot when we moved house 3 years ago. Couldn’t get a used one for less than £30 during lock down.

    I've just bought a Wii in the last few months. Love it. I don't know why I didn't get one years back.

    I know all about it mate, I did all my partner's tapes in the spring, they took forever.... Fortunately you can set things going then leave it to get on with it.

    Brush can I ask you what spec of machine you're using?... the reason I ask is that I have to buy a new laptop very soon and although I could buy a relatively cheap one to do most of my work on, this thread has sparked my interest in converting all my old man's handycam tapes to digital.

    I"ve got a Bullworker from 1965 - you can't plug it in, but it has been very useful in the lockdowns and still working perfectly. Perhaps I haven't put it under too much pressure!

    I have a copy of Razzle from 1994, still rolled up perfectly after years of being hid under a floorboard. Still in good working condition...

    I couldn't find it on the list above.
