I'm waiting until I have a mint 16k with grey keys, 16k blue keys, 48k, 48+, 128+ and +3, then I'll sell the surplus. I almost have a mint collection of Ultimate games, just missing Bubbler. Have a Kempston mouse though, they are quite rare these days. Even the microdrives and cartridges still work

I don't like the +2, wouldn't mind a black +2A perhaps but the +2 smells. 128+ is my favourite one.
My microdrive and carts have been safely locked away all these years. I got a load of kit out a few weeks ago; 128+, RGB monitor, Interface I, two microdrives, 20-odd carts, Multiface 128 and RAM Turbo joystick interface, plugged it all in and it all still works perfectly. 45 seconds later I'd loaded up Knight Lore from microdrive
Actually if anyone has anything I might buy it. Already have a ZX80 though

steven,
selling some junk at the moment http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...ESSE%3AIT&rd=1 check out my other items on there as well, the zx81 doesnt work, last time I fired it up I did, not sure if its the power supply or not, not normally much goes wrong with the old '81.
cheers
Gary

Enduro Racer was cool! (first one)
Turbo Esprit was great, 90deg turns.
Rememer Yesod, still got the manual somewhere...
I loved Rex, Manic Miner and Jet Pac.
Still got my Spectrum+ somewhere, probably with a dead powerpack, god they stank when they blew!
I had a CD full of Codemasters games once, loading from your CD drive on a spectrum in treble quick time! The only one I can remember was some Jet ski racer that was a bit like Super Sprint in the arcades....

manic miner is the greatest game of *all* time IMHO! never got past level 16, return of the wacky amoebatrons (sp?) or something like that! JSW was good but not as got as MM and yes the old ultimate stuff like Jetpac, Sabre Wulf, Atic Atac were just ace, ahhhh they dont make em like they used to do they!
