Those links are just awesome! I have a large collection of roms on my drive. Amiga Gamebase, World of Spectrum site rip, the latest Mame collection and enjoy playing the old games now and again.

Since Elite though, I haven`t really touched any. Although, a quick game of Galaxians is a must!!

Any link to software (in this case ROMs), where the copyright is not clear poses a problem.

On subject of Speccy games, how about those early platformers like Manic Miner and the sequel, Jet Set Willy?

It always felt a bit like one deserved a perseverance medal for just getting the thing to load in the first place. The arguments over the virtues of one tape player over another not to mention the endless rows between the Commodore and Sinclair clans - Unless you had a Dragon 32 of course...Kids these days etc etc

I guess I might be a tad geeky, but my Spectrum is still in the loft, still in it's box and, the last time I looked at it (about five years ago), still working.

Hello again BTW.
