I don't know why, but I suddenly feel like playing any game involving trains, but I can't find anyone... any suggestions? :mrgreen: https://stonechatproductions.co.uk/zxgames/gameimages/MalagaPowerbox.gif Now the complete Powerbox series are complete!

Re: The most expensive Spectrum game sale?

I perfectly understand in cases like Shadow of the Unicorn because of the story behind it, the interface, etc ... but not in other games 'not so rare' mentioned above, really weird.

And as to Mapsnatch... the only reason I might find is it's one of the earliest Dinamic games, but 800€??? WTF???

Re: All official Sega arcade games on the ZX Spectrum

I must confess I loved Out Run back in the day, when it came out I had been playing the arcade game a lot so I was excited with the idea of playing it at home.

Maybe its problem is it hasn't aged well.

Plenty of good arcade ports, but Spy Hunter and Tapper are enough for me, I still enjoy them a lot.

Re: Best Crash Smash that never was?

Atic Atac for me, a classic.

But I'm also thinking of Deathchase and Scuba Dive, two brilliant games from 1983.
