Anyone have any pics of their collection?

Ross PK · December 2006

I'm an Atari 800XL owner and the main media that games were on for that were tape. Trouble is I've seen loads of pics on the net of peoples collections for all sorts of game systems, but I've never really seen any big collections where the games were on cassettes, and I guess it'd be interesting to see this instead of always seeing stacks of carts or CD/DVD cases all the time.

Disclaimer: its not big, by no means, and ive had more since, but heres a few piccies of my speccy collection i took ages ago

chop983 · December 2006

Hhmm, copies appear suspiciously absent

VincentAC · December 2006

I was thinking about taking photos of my speccy stuff this week. Already got photos up of my consoles and games (minus the GameGear).

Also, the layout of the consoles and games has changed since the photos in my sig.

zeropolis79 · December 2006

Sadly, I don't have a collection to photograph unless a screengrab of my Speccy emulation and TZX collection is acceptable?

Mel - Great collection - I'll give you £10 for the lot.. I'll send the sister-in-law to collect (only cause I've not passed my driving test and the wife can't drive anymore)... (only kidding)

Vincent - you and the wife still enjoying the GameGear?

Chop - maybe Mel doesn't want to photograph copied materials.

I keep meaning to buy a display cabinet for all my Sinclair stuff - I have one of each bit of Sinclair Research/Amstrad hardware.

Under the bed in the spare room I have what I like to call The Porn Drawer. In that photo you can see about a 2/3 of it (there's another couple rows of tapes at the top, and the drawer extends about another 18" under the bed). There's a couple boxes of "overflow" tapes lying around too.

Note that it's full of speccy stuff, as there isn't a drawer big enough for the actual porn.

Dasse · December 2006

Zyloj.. anything for sale there? ;)

dm_boozefreek · December 2006

If my speccy cassette collection were still intact I'd have an extremely impressive collection. Unfortunately most of them were stolen, and since my powerpack for my second Speccy (a +3) fried all my games are in boxes with lots of silica gel in them with bin bags tied round the outside (Just to make sure the loft doesn't kill them).

I have quite a large collection of Commode games I got for free, and now I can't get rid of. That however doesn't surprise me since the Commode is shit.

I have a nice Sega Saturn collection, my second love after the Speccy.

Necros.

What makes you think the Commodore is shit? I mean, I know it was a rival of the Speccy (it was also a rival of the Atari 8-bit computers too which I'm a fan of), but that was all years ago now.

Ross PK · December 2006

ADJB, those Sinclar game boxes towards the top right, are they carts or something? Yes, I know how dumb this'll sound if none of the Speccys can even take carts.

Anyway, here's my set up and collection (no speccy games though)

mel the bell · December 2006

those are the rom carts

out of 10 released 4 were ultimate games :P

the silver sinclair tapes below em are the earlier releases (i have those 3 :) )

Ross PK · December 2006

Cool, so can they be plugged straight into the computer?

You know it would have been way better over here in Britain if all the games had just come out on carts for the home computers, there's just something that seems better about them as well as the obvious fact that the games come on straight away.

mel the bell · December 2006

was it the interface 1 or 2 they plug into? ive forgotten lol
1 or the other

Yup, only occasionally though - been busy with Metroid Prime on the GC and Tony Hawk's Project 8 on the PS2 ;-)

Interface II only I think.

The Interface 1 was mainly for the printer/microdrives etc.

I've got both of them here somewhere buried in a box.

I got my first Sinclair Spectrum 48 k when i was 10 years old in 1987 and all i can remember is that it included two games which were Hard cheese and Frenzy.
Maybe this is just something the store included with my computer or were these two games included in one of those 3 software packs ?

Paulo Kathanni · December 2006

My Spectrum collection is just the TS2068, nothing in comparison to yours, but here is the pic of it...

Anyone have any pics of their collection?
