Mastertronic C15

Well, I'm not even sure where this thread might belong, and as this is'nt really exclusively a Spectrum item, does it even have a place in WOS?

Amongst some old blank cassettes I found this;

Is there any need to preserve this, or is it in the archive already in some form?

    Gotta love those type-ins! 6 pages in when your C15 decides to get fussy and back to square one! Many times I bashed things nearby in frustration at such occurances back in the day. So, worth preservation? Is it relevant?

    well I've only ever seen / got 1 of them tapes.. so it's not so common.

    I think it's more the irony of a games maker also making blank medium ( much like record labels whose parent companies invented CDR's etc.) , to keep it as a preserved thing.. but what does it come under ?!?!

    Thats the problem I had, where would it be preserved, under what category?

    What're we talking about here - type-ins or the Sperm Donation clinic?

    Davey, Davey, Davey...I'm sure you've said that images haven't been displayed for you in the past. Is the leg of your chair on the Internet image cable again?

    Not seen the Mastertronic one either, but I bought so many packs of the 'Computape' C15 tapes from John Menzies back in the 80s!
