Do you have any examples of this?

I've managed a tested&working GBA SP and 8 games (including Super Mario) for £80,
They're being sent to Brazil where any GameBoy model is nearly £300 alone
I'm tempted to send over 1 a month with that mark up

I saw the ridiculously cheap Ali items and I am tempted buuuut if if doesn't have Mario then it'll be bottom of the toy cupboard :? The GB, GBC & GBA all seem to go for £50 with the Mario platformers going for around £15 :roll: All the Ali ones advertise 100's of games but I've seen no list so, ...

Obviously but if it lets him play Mario, I won't get too stressed if/when he launches it in frustration!

My wife and I were thinking of getting him a GameBoy as he is fanatical about Mario
A look on ebay shows there's a colour variant for around £15

with "proper" GameBoys and Advances up to £50

Does anyone here have a recommendation?

Knight Lore (and a whole load of other games!) - the time limit. There's no need for it. After a while it becomes apparent that it'll be impossible to finish before the time ends, so what's the point of playing on? This spoiled the game for me. As much as the graphics amazed me I only played it for...

Didn't saw it mentioned, but I'm pretty sure Give My Regards to Broad Street https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/2049/ZX-Spectrum/Give_My_Regards_to_Broad_Street can be finished in less than a minute just traveling right away to one of the tube stations before one of the characters can enter ther...

This seems to be the "Must have" I didn't know I needed - I'm seriously considering plugging in my Next to try!

I don't think I'd want to spend all that on it when a nice print would look better and be less expensive. Thanks for that 8-) I lo...

It's a fecking Reliant Regal Supervan three!

Considering what I actually own are Kittens, yeah, my eye twitches

People generally referred to it as the Spectrum without the ZX, of course, but often I'd hear people refer to it as the "Spectrum ZX", and it always filled me with rage whenever it happened. As an owner of a pair of Reliants, watch my eye twitch when people talk about "Robin Reliant&...

Please!

It's great to be here for another one, Happy New Year to all

I saw this tonight and was going to post it here

I printed one of those for a forum member but they didn't want it in the end - it's lying around in my "samples" box

I'd have been 13 when I bought this and played for ages to be thoroughly dismayed at the graphics!
It's one of my main resons for kicking off over censorship on these ancient 8-bit titles - even ASCII art is more "explicit"

I love seeing stuff like this
