I wish you had done a YouTube series on building that. Would love to see how you made it and what you used. Looks awesome.

An absolute legend. One of the few programmers from that era that gave games real depth, sense of progression and longevity. Friends of mine played Pirates, Silent Service and Gunship for (what seemed like) years. A disk drive was a serious advantage with these games.

One of my all time favourite games on both #Spectrum and #C64. An outright classic that has stood the test of time. Looks great, and is still as addictive as ever.

These were especially big on the #Spectrum, with all 3 were being released on a single disk for Spectrum+3. I picked up a copy a while back - it's still one of my favourites today.

Well, look at that list! I never expected to be #1 favourite, but I am suitably honoured. Who`d have thought that we`d still be loving the legendary #C64 after 30+ years?

Unreal. Without even realizing it, you might actually be the largest C64 collector on the planet. I'm deadly serious.

Just found these two beauties in my mum's house. Must have got them from somewhere but it's been too many years ago to remember. Nice find though. Into the retro pile they go! #dayofthetenticle #grimfandango #pcgaming #RETROGAMING

Although I mostly collect #Sinclair #ZXSpectrum games, I recently took a liking to classic Wii games. Have over 40 games now and still climbing. Love these two recent beauties. Any love for the #Wii out there? #Nintendo

I need to make a PSU for a #Sinclair #Spectrum +3. I have a small PC PSU that has the correct voltages and sufficient amperage which I can adapt, but I'm not sure where I can get the DIN type connector that fits the +3's power-in socket. Anyone know of a site that sells them? Tks

Found this 1987 photo, as seen in the Morpheus Zzap! 64 Diary. My neat new spot in Steve`s office. I believe it was less tidy later when we both had Opus PCs to do the source code editing and compiling.
