The exact same mould as the Spectrum light phaser that was in black. That also had a squeaky trigger from new. I have fond memories of playing Operation Wolf on the Spectrum. Shame about the lens. Hope you get it sorted.

Puffy stickers. Totally forgotten about those. Amazing find. I’m feeling your nostalgia. Glad you found the exact same stickers.

I remember getting an Atari VCS woody for Christmas. It came with Combat and my dad bought Space Invaders and Frogger too (£30 a game if I remember correctly). It was brilliant. I spent many hours playing on that machine. My next door neighbour Fiona also got an Atari that Christmas. I remember going round and seeing they had Pacman (which I secretly wished I had got). We sold it a couple of years later and put the money towards a Commodore 64. Happy memories... I think I need to buy another one.

Some great memories in there mate and if I'm ever in Tunbridge I've got to visit Fuggles! Thanks for sharing.

this is some wholesome content

Dixons was also another place to visit at the time. They had the latest Panasonic 3DO and the Philips cdi on display.

Lol, logged on to catch the latest episode of TWIR and caught your video first! Thank YOU for clicking Record!

ah ah the end....

Nice little systems, them...

Never owned or played on an amiga lightgun. There some angry idiots lurking on evilbay mate, mostly a waste of time arguing with them. That squeak would drive me bonkers. Shame about the lense, at least you can easily replace.

Next time you come back to the UK I’ll take you to my Clay pigeon club and you can have a play with my shotguns

Ive had the same problem with sellers on eBay. over a classic motorcycle. He wasnt happy being told his Bike wasn't what he listed it as. Mainly because it would knock about 1k of the value lol

"Go to travel Amiga" now there's a phrase I've never heard before, or ever expected to ever hear 😂 I'm glad you've been able to acquire a new Trojan despite all the trials and tribulations. Classic recording outtake at the end 😂

nice toy, shame about the lens.

I wonder what are the requirements for AMOS to detect the lightgun and it's input.

Brilliant video mate the lens is on its way to you Im currently constructing my video on this its a funny story ha ha glad they have finally changed the listing

Peppermint tea ! Wtf have you done with the real Chris ! You need a rum !

That story was like a bit from a sitcom 😂

Well, it’s living up to its brand name Trojan. A gift with a nasty surprise - for both of you 😂

Peppermint tea… nice. I bet the Atari ST one had a lens in it. 😉 Shame I’ve never used my STFM or STE for games as I do like a light gun game. I had an unwieldy Nintendo Scope 6 and I think I have one of the Spectrum versions of the Phazer in the vault (read garage) with all the other heaps of neglected vintage computers. I found six Commodore datasettes in the greenhouse we just demolished, including one for the C16/Plus 4 so I’m imagining there must be one of them in the garage somewhere. Yes, there are computers everywhere in my place including the now demolished greenhouse it seems. I was a big light gun game fan when Virtua Cop and Time Crisis released “Reload… Reload… Reload…”, ah, great fun. Are there any good VR shooting games I wonder? I’ve only ever used my PSVR2 for GT7 though there is an Alien game due soon I believe… Look forward to the restoration video. 🙂

I remeber you talking on TWiR about needing to do some retro brighting but hadn't yet. Mostly because I'm in the same boat! Wonder if you tried a method and had success to also use on the Phazer? Or if it'll be your first go at it? Hope you get the Phazer looking as you'd like! Cheers Chris

I like mint tea but rarely drink it. I like it on really hot days but living in the UK there's not much call for it. The last box I bought was probably about 5 years ago!

Woah… Chris is drinking a non-alcoholic beverage. This must be serious. 😆

NOTE: The seller of the ST Phazer has now re-listed the gun with the correct description.

Had a similar problem, with an eBayer, who chose to go on holiday, but made no mention of it in his item listings. I was setting up a display for a show, that was centered on 8-bit games. The illuminated display was to have 3 signs, with the center & most prominent being a neon-trimmed Pacman Ghost. I literally ordered & paid for the item a full 30-days, in advance of the show. Well, the less than charming chap sent it out so late, that I was forced to attend the show with out it. I made due without it, & it ironically was delivered to my home, the day after I arrived at the show. I was steamed at the time, but now my 12-year-old had a great suggestion... use it as a Halloween Decoration in our front window. Things have a way of turning around for the better you could say. :)

Love the efforts you go to to recreate your childhood memories. Was there many games that used the Phazer ?. Look forward to seeing part 2 of this latest adventure.

always good to see more Amiga vids 😊😊😊

I thought the coat hooks were ace but the stickers 😀; that’s 1 in a million for that guy to locate them. Those Australian termites sound insane!!! Great stuff as always Chris.

Thank you Chris another great video 😁

Thanks for sharing that dude

That was wonderfully nostalgic Chris. How cool that you managed to get those stickers👍

That's really cool mate. I remember those coat hooks from primery school in the UK and we all had a sticker over our hook 😃

Brilliant video and thanks for sharing. I think I might have to forgive you being obsessed with Atari Jaguars now 😅

I only really come here for the hot, Aussie, pegging, action.

The little wind-up robot that I use as my picture was found unopened on eBay. I had one just like it when I was little and never thought much of it until I saw a picture of one again on the internet and felt a little pang from missing it. I keep him on top of my Atari 2600 cartridge rack now and once in a while I wind him up and let him stretch his legs.

I had the Atari as a kid great video congrats on your collection i love it all oh you cant put controller ports on the front it would ruin that nice piece of wood 😂 i think on the 7800 they did hear your complaint and moved them up front a few years later.

Omg I remember them mate ,can you remember what shop or place you got it from or did you pickup on your holiday 👍😊

What a rollercoaster. Nice to see a fresh take on the pick ups video.
