I was looking at the FM Towns line of systems for collecting games, and I was wondering how hard people think it would be to collect for it? Are the games hard to find/expensive? Would I need to worry about read/write media (Floppies) from dieing? Or are they not generally required for CD-ROM titles?

For that matter, how are the titles lined up for the system? Mostly RPGs? Or more top heavy on arcade games?

Any advice would be appreciated, as I'm kind of a newbie in regards...

I'm toying with the idea of buying an FM Towns Marty console, ideally plumping for a Marty over a Towns II computer because of the shipping costs involved. I was wondering what the difference between the two Marty consoles is? Is one better than the other?

I've also read a bit about some games not working on the Marty, is there a list of games that don't work on it? Also, is it easy to replace the floppy drive belt as I've heard these...

It came with many accessories like MO drive, a controller, many cables, a keyboard,a printer interface and a wireless commander.
Regarding the main unit I was lucky and unlucky at the same time.I was lucky because it has 70MB of RAM , a SCSI HD with Windows 95 installed, a graphic card and a 10Tbase card inside. But also unlucky because CD-ROM has many problem to read CDs and also the has boot trouble since after...
