I noticed you had 2 of the rocky horror shows where the colours of the spine are slightly different, same here. I never know if it's sun damage :lol:
I am in 2 minds whether to keep the variants of games sometimes.. e.g. even the mastertronic ones where they re-did it for "+2 etc" like formula 1 sim.

Rocky horror shows are 48k and 128k versions.
I keep all variants as a rule, not sure why though, I'll worry about it when I start running out of space. According to the missus, that time has already come, but I'm not convinced.
Here's what the postaman brought me today :) a few review copies in there, sent to personal computer world for review.
I'm curious as to what community chest will be like, can't imagine monopoly on the zx81.
that bears in the woods game, sure it's proper ? as it's missing a word from the title :lol:
your postie italian then ? ;) I have a zxpand (not tried it yet) , and a few 81 games. can't justify the space.. much like my BBC micro + ti99/4a + atari 800xl are all CF/SD card things for space saving :) . I'd like to get SD / CF things for my dragon32 / atmos / electron but no one has made anything for them YET..
I can imagine a LOT of rows regarding spectrum collections over the years with folk as sometimes I buy off wifes who are happy to see the collection go , while this is a good impression of their hubby > :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

but I do buy a lot of people's wives though, I'd say it's maybe 60% ish of the sellers and I find them more straight forward as there is no attachment for them to the games.
No I couldn't butcher a game that's survived 30 years! They are from an old word processor for the CBM 64 I think. It was something boring anyway and not anything that anyone would do anything with nowadays.
Latest additions:
Clam case collection completed with the addition of 'Zenji':
A great 'Ocean' Spectrum compilation.
Clam case collection completed (?) with the addition of 'River Rescue':
This 'Everyone's A Wally' game has replaced the dog eaten copy I've had for years. The dog eaten copy has a 'Wally' sticker stuck in it though. So I have to keep both PAH!:
A set of Spectrum 'Super Silver' games by 'Firebird'. I thought I had all these, and bought 3 of 'em as new back in the 80s. Realised 'Willow Pattern' (the ****ey one) was missing so filled the gap with a cheap as chips ebay purchase.
This is nice. I never saw this version back in the day and just bought the single tape versions. Keeping my eye out for 'Flight From The Dark' now:
The LAST Spectrum game I had as a kid then sold and regotted! I sold 'Max Headroom' at a carboot in the mid 90s. 'Myth', 'Black Tiger' and 'Golden Axe' are new additions and came FREEEEE!!! I like that! FREEEEEEE!
I remember seeing this on game shop shelves back in the day but didn't see another one until I got this:
And I know it's not all Spectrum but thought I'd post this too as there are 3 Spectrum games here:

I just got a few new bits from ebay lately, I had to stop spending for a while coz I needed a new car.
I'll post a few more pics soon. Not posted pics of my single cassette cased games yet, still sorting through them.
They are both the PSS re-release, although I think the inlay scan in the archive needs to be updated with a full scan.
Yup, both English, just checked to make sure.
No intention of getting rid of my speccy stuff. I'm selling my commodore stuff though, to make way for the speccy :)
Just waiting for one of my kids to grow up and move out then I get a room for it all :)
pretty sure I have the uk one , not sure if it's 3 ..about 75%sure it is , I'll have a look.
only 4 chequered flags ? lightweight :)
By the way, wont you happen to have one of these Codemasters compilations? (some need inlay preservation, some other are MIA!!):
