Theres another thread about posting pics of your collections on here but as a collector the pic submitted is already getting out of date.
Thought it would be interesting to see what other speccy related stuff have picked up latley.

Ill start the ball rolling with 4 games that arrived this week ...

    Why start another thread? These could quite easily have gone in the thread that had already gathered momentum!

    Master Chess + Casey Jones
    I didn't see Sorcerers castle! Oooohhhh.

    My recent purchase was The Birds by Rabbit Software. Good fun, but it very nearly made me late for work yesterday morning!

    A few other Rabbit titles were given a bit of a make-over when re-released. I think The Birds was the only one that actually had a total name change though! Maybe because of the Rod Taylor / Tippy Hedren film of the same name?

    Note to self: Still need the original cover Lancer Lords


    Oh, I also got a Microgen game t'uther day... Laserwarp.

    Patti phoned me up to say, take a look at ebay... did you see what Mikrogen's Tempest went for?!

    I guessed it'd reach about ?12-?16.

    Oooh, just shy of Thirty quid. Someone wanted that one!
