Wow, I spent hours playing Castle Master on the Amstrad 1512. I only every managed to collect the same stuff and get to the same point and then couldn't get any further. Never did finish it (if it was possible to finish it). Found alot of ways to kill myself though.

I've been in the trade for 25 years and when I saw this I just had to have it, it's fully restored from the ground up using all original parts and totally immaculate in every way.

If you look closely at the top right hand side of the marquee you'll the signature of the game creator, Mr Eugene Jarvis. ;)

Comment #3 is funny.

Looking at all these Amiga games gives me a better idea on what to play on my newly bought flash drive for my A1200 with 1200+ games on it. Cheers all :)

As my all time favourite game I have to go for 'Blue Meanies' on the VIC-20, my first home computer back in 1983. Unfortunatley I didn't get around to owning a C-64 :(
