    Expect now to see a load of overpriced Spectrums on Ebay as lots of folk rub their hands together thinking they have a 'little nest egg' sitting in their loft.

    "This is Jet Pac, an old game for the Spectrum computer, from the 1980's. In the last two years nine brand new ones have been released for this old machine."

    Lol, wut?

    ...but then again - it sounds about right if you don't count anything by Mojon Twins or the Churrera engine. :lol:

    Seriously though - DO MORE THAN 5 MINUTES RESEARCH. :rolleyes:

    someone posted it in a fb group.. errm it's just more journo filler.. Jason was the only one that talked sense.. pick one era or 1 machine.. I think I went for era hardware wise ;)

    the prices of late have been getting silly on ebay, partly because of facebook groups artificially inflating prices indirectly.. I twigged this when certain items get a LOT of watches / views. I did buy off someone who bought machines as investments e.g. 3 zx80's and a camputer Lynx etc. but is selling or was selling them.

    there are machines and titles I'd still like.. I have the funds, a fair bit of the time. but really can't justify the asking prices in some cases.

    (my last purchase being a dragon 64 a few weeks back)
