What will it be for tea tonight?
Will it be salad or frozen peas?
Will it be mushrooms, fried onion rings?
You'll have to wait and see.

It’s Sunday, I actually have a little time to myself today. Time to give the #SAMCoupe a run out. It’s not been out of the box for a few months. Time to check it’s all still running. Also using the Trinity interface from the amazing @samcoupe.com again. It’s a must have.

Love it. I had a B&W when I had my Speccy. Had to take it down stairs on the “big TV” to see that colour clash in all its glory. We upgraded the living room TV and I ended up with our big TV in my room until I got my C64 and then a later a colour 14” TV from Granada TV rental shop! (Pic from TVARC)

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!
