If someone could stitch the poster together and upload it to WOS that would be appreciated. I'm sure I've already uploaded the box scans, but I may be wrong.
I still got a few more box fulls to go through and photograph. Not sure when I'll get around to it, I'm a bit pushed for time lately, maybe when the kids go back to school.
I always found it funny that psion / sinclair stuff has blank tape as the b-side, flipping cheap skates , almost as cheap as imagine v1 with no labels / b&w printing etc.hehe
My small collection of +3 disks (I also have Disk Doctor for the +3).
I found the loose disks a few minutes ago after about 6 months of having no idea where they were, so as you can imagine, I'm quite pleased!
On side B of the disk containing Colin the Cleaner etc is the games Big Bad John, Pyjamarama and Automania.
Nice! One day I'll get the Ultimate disks... but not at the stupid prices people on eBay seem to think they're worth at the moment. The case for the Colin The Cleaner etc disk should be on one of my pics as I've got that compilation too.

I got my Ultimate disks and all the others thrown in with the Spectrum I won on eBay after the auction had finished.
I've also got a boxed Ultimate: The Completed Works for my +2 with instructions.
I love seeing other people's collections of stuff. Be great to see your shelves or boxes full of games so we can have a nose at it too.
I find it helps too, seeing other people's collections, as it remind of games I'm missing!
So here's some of mine. There might be other computer stuff visible but this is most of my Spectrum stuff in a room I've designated for all my old games stuff.
But but but :(
Thats cheating since you once worked for Ocean and had access to everything from 1982 onwards for absolutely free.....In fact, you probably have dozens of signatures and still in contact with all the great programmers :)

Ha! I only had access to Ocean stuff from 87 to 91ish. I didn't even get a free copy of every game. I could have done but thought it was a waste of time getting the rubbish ones. Now I'm buying them off ebay!
Heard that a lot recently... beg to differ though :p
well it is, ask anyone who flogs 8 bit stuff.. software, and well it's a lot quiter then say hmm 2-3 years ago. certain things you could guarantee pretty much would go for a certain price... now it's not so easy to get rid of doubles (unless your chucking them in big bundles :) ) . the postage hikes didn't help I guess.

I'm finding that... but even big bundles don't fetch much unless there are a few decent games in there. Got ?15 for 14 games recently, and some of those i've seen go for ?8-?10 on their own not so long back.
Toss up between make a few quid on a quick sale, or wait a lot longer and see if you get a bit more. Swings and roundabouts really. I only sell to buy more stuff in, and since it IS more a buyers market these days it's easier to get a decent amount of stuff back in at a good price.
Few years ago though, that bundle could well have hit double what I paid.
All I have about Spectrums, and something more, is in this album. My collection isn't too big as someone could expect but good enough.
This is an example:
In this photograph, there are:
2 ZX Spectrum 48k (rubber keyboard)
1 ZX Spectrum 48k (rubber keyboard) different case - Made in Portugal
1 ZX Spectrum 48k Plus
1 ZX Spectrum 128k by Investronica
1 ZX Spectrum 128k Plus 2
1 ZX Spectrum 128k Plus 2A
My collection is poor – about 50 titles only. But I have all Ultrasoft titles as the only one person in the Czech/Slovak Republic and of course in the world :).

I do have 2 commodore tape decks somewhere, I'll dig it out and send you a PM in the next few days.
I've only come across 4 variations, diffent colour tapes and labels.
