Can't afford that but thanks.. I'll trade my niece (age 21) though.. she makes lousy tea but apparently is good at coffee..

Don't let mel read this ... he might even let his copy of Mire Mare out of the bag for that.

TechnicianSi · April 2012

Added some bits, and completely sorted the mess that was my speccy-corner with some better shelving.

Jakeyw · April 2012

Quite a lot of my collection is boxed and not easily accessible at the moment, but here are a few pictures of some of the highlights. The Atic Atac map is the original art board that Oliver Frey drew for Crash, June 1984!

Some nice stuff there Mr W! Bet the Macmillan titles cost a few quid!

I was extremely lucky with a few of them, but if Mrs W knew how much I spent on one of them, I think she'd divorce me!

It's so cool you've got that Atic Atac map. I had that on my bedroom wall when it was in Crash.

ALL these pics are great btw, just what I hoped you'd all post. Keep it up and any new stuff you get, get it photographed and in this thread :)

I've got a sealed JetPac at home, and some other Ultimate stuff, which I need to dig out and photograph. Yeah the Atic Atac map is lovely. I'm not jealous :cry:

Plus if we can see what everyone's got if any inlay scans come up that need improving then we know who to ask! :)

zxbruno · April 2012

Some of you guys need a special Sinclair room protected with some type of fingerprint/eye reader to protect it. A room where you can enter and "disappear" for a while. :grin: Incredible collections in this thread. :)

I scanned in some inlays from my collection to improve existing scans - see Venom Strikes Back and Switchblade for example.

Here is my small ZX81 collection.

Graz · April 2012

Very nice indeed. Oh go on, Load-up 3D Grand Prix. I love that game. Good innit!

Mark R. Jones · April 2012

Small? That's the largest ZX81 collection I've seen. Good stuff

TBH I don't think I've played it. I'm lacking a TV that works with the ZX81 at the moment.

It's small compared to my speccy collection, about 50x smaller :)

Mark R. Jones · April 2012

Here's some recent acquisitions of mine, all dirt cheap off eBay:

'Super Pipeline 2' I only just realised I didn't own, thought I played it quite a bit BITD.
'Bristles - I had never played but remember the advert used to annoy me. I always wondered who the bloke was in that ridiculous pose!
'Spitfire' - I didn't realise this was a Durell game! It's written by Mike Richardson and looks like a World War II version of 'Thanatos'. Was he writing this game when Elite bought them out and stuck it out as a budget game? It still has Durell written on the loading screen!
'Xadom' - Never played it but saw you lot saying it was quite good so another Quicksilva game added to the collection.
'Super Mutt' - again, not played it until recently. It's quite rubbish despite getting an okay Crash review.

jdanddiet · April 2012

Bristles and super mutt look particularly dreadful :-D

MrCheese · April 2012

Here is some more of my treasure:

Some Ultimate:

The JetPac and Cookie are sealed!

Sealed Frankie!

These are both sealed!

Again, sealed!

Oooo 3" discs...

Of course the TCM-939

morcar · April 2012

MrCheese your missing an aero too that would make it the ultimate collection

Neil Parsons · April 2012

I can only say: Whooooah!!! :-o

I wish I had a collection like Mark R. Jones has. Impressive. My collection is very very small in comparison, but hope to show what I have in short.

PS: Last photos could be 'a bit' smaller. ;)

I just uploaded them from my phone into DropBox then posted the public images. Other than this thread I've no experience of posting pictures. What would be a good tool to resize, and to what size?

TechnicianSi · April 2012

Had these turn up today.

Wizball turned up by the way. Cheers Mark.

takapa · April 2012

I LOVE your collection. I'd love just to be in the same room as all that nostalgia. Makes me feel like a kid again.

Golfareninsweden · April 2012

Hi!

I want to contribute to this thread. Just to show that we in Sweden also collect Sinclair.

This is what i've got, not much but some anyway.

For more pictures look here of what's inside the boxes

TechnicianSi · April 2012

Came back from collecting stuff with darren today, had these few little additions to the collection, plus a few bits from eBay and eBid.

Dunno which aquisition i'm happiest about; Moley Christmas, St Brides or Strontium Dog.

:smile:
