I have got some games with it, it came with Defender and Pac-man, but I tried and tried and it just didn't wanna seem to work really. For now I've just given up and popped it under my bed.

The computer is pal. If you don't get any signal (except for a black or red screen) then its very likely that your computer is broken. In case you just need the comp for gaming and you have a newer PC at hand also I recommended to install an emulator. aww thats crap :( I wanted to play on it, emula...

If the picture is different with the computer attached, it might just be a tuning issue. Does your TV have a "fine tuning" option, or something similar?
