Agreed. I actually dont mind something thats covered in dirt like that. Its normally something you can clean off and underneath it can actually preserve the plastics. However £200 is just a bit too spicy. Also... ick! 😨

I’ve been going through some of my BBC Micro games today. I love the cover artwork on Wizadore by Imagine.

Excellent so I have the first release of Galaforce 2 then! That’s great, thanks for the info. I will have to dig through my other boxes of games and see if I have either of the budget releases at some point. 😀

It’s a burning “hell hole” the side walks are on fire and the parks are filled with trenches.

I’ve got Galaforce 2 for on PIAS 6. Plus a few other compilations. Now I am going to have to try to find the individual budget releases. Am I right in thinking, Galaforce 2 didn’t get a “full price” release, only on compilation and budget?

I got to thinking. Did I have the budget version of Galaforce? 🤔

Had a quick look, could not find it in the games I have out.

Maybe I was thinking of Zalaga!

Also found these Superior Software budget titles from Blue Ribbon.

That feels satisfying. I’ve managed to snag a good price on the disk version of one my of my favourite BBC Micro games Galaforce by @kevedwardsretro.bsky.social Looks like someone entered the prize competition and snipped off the corner of the inlay. I hope they won!

I’ve got much the same collection for the C64 thanks to the awesome @duhproject.bsky.social

Tim Drew @sanxion.bsky.social · 4d

Good to see you. Looking forward to the new video 😀👍

The “bots” are on the rampage again. Blocked five so far today.

Tim Drew @sanxion.bsky.social · 6d

I want those Sony monitors that were on the stage on #totp

Tim Drew @sanxion.bsky.social · 6d

Maybe they can send me one then and I’ll review it on the podcast! 🤣

Tim Drew @sanxion.bsky.social · 6d

Ohhh.. do you have a link for a discount or kick back for yourself? I might have to get one of them. I do like the iFixit stuff.

This crap keeps popping up on my YouTube time line. How many times do I have to tell it “I don’t want to see this utter rubbish”. I would rather watch 12 hours of @futurewas8bit.bsky.social try and putt a ball in from 20 yards on Leaderboard on the C64
