    you can get things that are copies .. I've had it once on an ebay bundle I got hhm 2 ish years ago.. someone years ago obviously was light fingered.. got the covers from their shops and used c15 tapes with the games on. correct cover, bruce's xmas's all at once type tapes.

    not something I was bidding on.. trying to remember.. but I do have a few of em, but not as doubles

    Quickest is to upload to imgur.com, then copy the [noparse]blah-dee-blah-URL[/noparse] link from the right hand side, and post/paste here.

    Never buy software purchased in Portugal!!

    Our stores in the 80's charged for games when they were in fact selling copies. It is something I would like to get into in the future, since I would like to know exactly how they were able to do it and have no trouble with the law.
    Some covers "scream" copy at the distance, others don't until you take a look at the cassette...

    All my tapes were bought either on ebay or from users who had them bought there.

    The one exception to this was the Portuguese labels.

    Well, mostly true as there was a vacuum in software IP protection laws at the time. Early nineties, and as those laws came into place, most stores just decided to shut down. I worked during my vacations period at Softrum, one of the most well known stores in Porto, just after it was bought out, and little after that they started a sale of all the "masters" and folded. Same for all others at that location, like JMS. But I do remember purchasing an original Basic compiler at a store next to my school. Costed me my entire savings at the time. :-)
