It seems like I see many more of them across the pond. Not so much here in the U.S. They seem to be pretty rare, definitely much more so than the much more common STFs, and like @Tillek said, when we do see them, they're almost insanely priced.

Seriously! It took me decades to get my hands on one! I finally had to bring one over from the UK, which I believe was your suggestion... wasn't it?

 

Anyhow, fun machine for sure!  👍

I'm half-tempted to buy a UK one, then - for the closest thing to authenticity - swap out the power supply, ROM, keyboard, and those dead silverfish burrowed inside for dead flies and stinkbugs like what we have in our garages here.  The only reason I don't is because little software is optimized for its enhancements, due to being close to its EOL... :(

You know, I see people say that all the time - that there's little to no software that's

enhanced for the STe.

 

But there's quite a few games and a whole lot of demo's that are. I guess if games

and demo's are not your "thing" then the STe is not for you.

 

I've got the pinnacle of the ST/STe line, the Mega STe and I love playing enhanced

games like Stardust and Obsession Pinball on it, as well as the impressive demo's

that put me into a zen like state watching (and listening!) to them.   :)

Yes, I think  that was my suggestion. I did the same thing.
