Re: Introducing: New Dragon multi-cartridge VERSION 1.5 for

Hi, I just wanted to share my thoughts and experience about the Dragon Multi-Cartridge. I used to have an Alldream cartridge, but lost it somewhere, somehow, over the years :?. I've looked online and contacted a few retro stores, but wasn't able to find one for sale. Sure, I could have loaded stuff ...

Yes, $45 for the Tano Dragon and about $90 for shipping it to Europe ($29 in the US).
