Cheers Joe, it’s taken quite a while to get it together… Sorry to hear about the fate of your last collection and wish you all the best with starting your new one!

Man!!!!!

I love your collection!!! I am an ex collector soon to be collector again. I had a nice collection about 7 years ago from what I had been collecting from boot fairs but they were being stored in my parents cellar and when getting ready to move my step father chucked the lot into a skip!!! It was heart breaking! All i have left is a 48k rubber key unitt and a +3 unit with a faulty power pack. This year I plan to hit the boot fairs again and start trying to build up a collection once again.

It’s nice to see such a cool collection!

But do you have the limited edition version with the button? Now thats rare, worth at least… £1 more.

Hehe, yes Cassette 50 is possibly a title I would maximum pay £1 for if it was the C64 version. There are some sellers that have no idea what its worth often listing things that you can buy for a few quid from other sellers listing in the same category.

The fact is that many games were manufactured in hundreds of thousands copies and I dont think we are at the point where we have an equal amount of collectors… fortunately.

All I can say is – Flabbergasted! The MacMillan titles could possibly be rarer than most spectrum software titles as they were educational and may not have sold quite so well as some of the million selling games.

Thankful of answers!

I have never got into retro gaming, mostly on my 360 but i have to agree older games for older consoles seemed to be alot more fun that these of today.
