That's the version my BF wants for Xmas. Like me he's always after the special editions - although I'm more a Tomb Raider and Fable girl myself :T

I used to love Dizzy too! My Dad used to buy the magazines that had a free spectrum tape on the front with a a demo level for each new game - if we wanted a proper game we had to wait for Xmas / birthday or save our pocket money :rolleyes:

When I was young my dad made me wait till the £9.99 Spectrum games were re-released as £2.99 games. The hardships that kids have to endure nowadays don't even come close to that but I can appericate the pain your going through.

If I remember, speccy games were always £8.99 and commodore 64 games were ALWAYS £1 more!!!! I never did find out why that was the case.

I think Commodore 64 owners were always better off people than us Spectrum underclass. Although obviously the Spectrum was a more superior computer.

I had a C64 and remember those days when you had to wait about 20 mins for a game to load.........

Then when the tapes went duff that was it.

I can't remember the last time I actually paid the 'proper' price for a new game!

Between Amazon and the fact that Tesco sometimes reduces brand new titles for a few days when they first come out (but you have to be quick because they always put the price up again) I just would not pay more than £40 for a game ever.

Mind you these days I don't really care about having a game on the day it comes out - although I did for Uncharted and Resident Evil 4 and 5!!!

Sometimes it is better to wait a bit I got the last MGS for less than £20 a couple of months ago.

Just ordered Dead Space from Amazon at £9.99 there are some serious bargains out there!

I started with a ZX81 before getting a speccie, which didn't have a save feature, in fact to play a game you "programmed" it in, up until the nasty "E out of memory" popped up

Incidentally I hope all you speccie fans frequent http://www.zxspectrum.net/ for nostalgic memories, you can play all of them on there
