Additional bonus lolz for good measure

Here's a bit of hardcore retro for you

Nice... how much did the ZX80 set you back?

[Blast Hardbody]

A few things today, never seen Robotron X before, so thought I would snap that up.

[buster_broon]

Does the spine give you any additional levels?

To me it does, it gives it levels of smashingness

thanks for your valuable input

Here's a bit of hardcore retro for you

Pretty cool I'm impressed that the ZX80 still appears to be white, they are usually _very_ yellow by now. Keyboards on the 80/81 are horrendous to use I must say

I did have a +2 many years ago (the updated +2A black-coloured variant) but didn't think much of it, it had a lot of compatibility problems with software that my rubber-keyed 48k machine would work just fine with. Conversely, I did come across a 'proper' Sinclair Spectrum 128k machine at a car boot a good while back which worked with everything I threw at it, so daresay that's the best variant you can get hold of. Sorta regret selling it now...

1 million plus points for Time Gal, one of the best things this thread offers.

Nice pickup there Duddyroar,

They are two of the finest RPG's money can buy, if you haven't already played through them before, I would highly suggest you do, pure classic games.

[Duddyroar]

I've played both previously - and not completed either of them!

Got about 30 hours into Skies before giving up, no idea why as I was really enjoying it. Same story with Holy Ark. I fully intend to give these games the time they deserve, though.

I'm severely dissapointed at the lack of gameboy stuff. you've let me down.

However I will forgive you because you have Ouendan!

regards to the eBay incident, I've done that. I once bid ?1756 on Mario kart double dash instead of ?17.56! Thank god no-one else bidded seriously high

Got these babies today.Waiting for a few other games form Japan to arrive...

Now, I'm not usually prone to knocking other people's purchases, but... Awesome Possum really stinks. I hope the Japanese version is a true collectors item.

Hybrid Heaven: £2.29

This game deserves a lot more attention than it usually gets. Sci-fi Tomb Raider-ish action with all combat presented as... JRPG-style turn-based wrestling scenes? Great idea!

[garrz32]

@elektronhjarnan... Yeah your right it ain't Awesome,it's really just a copy of Sonic(all be it a very bad one)but it cost me nought,traded a few SF games for them...

As it being a true collectors item,prolly not, but it's the first time i have seen a Jap copy of it come up for sale....Oh and it's mint(mind you that's because the games so poor no one played it...lol)
