Hi Folks - long time game player and collector here. Not going to divulge my age but let's just says I did play the Atari VCS and the Spectrum - I was fantastic at Jet Pac :haha:

Anyway I seem to go through cycles of collecting - my main interests are both in good collectors editions and also RPGs but I've got an open mind and as long as its playable then I will give it a go.

I am not really sure how many games I have to be honest - it's not a huge amount but it's enough that if I sold them I could buy a 3DTV :rotf:

Anyway I am a member on a number of other forums both now and in the past including NTSC, Digital Press etc and hope to contribute a bit to some discussions in the future.

Hi Gav,

No not on xbox live I'm afraid but have used this alias for ages on quite a few forums :) I remember the G7000 - what that not the one that came with Videopacs or something like that?

My first computer was the Dragon 32 - loved it to bits as it had a proper keyboard instead of a rubber one like the Spectrum!

[Biggav4000]

Just asked as there is a Fred E kruger on my xbox friends list.
The g7000 is the videopac one i still have it and loads of games boxed.I must have known i would be into collecting even then.:D
My first computer was the vic-20,but me and my brother soon moved onto t he C64 our favorite game being ELITE a true classic.a few of our friends had dragon 32's .acorn's BBC's and spectrums,we never new anybody with an amstrad,I remember playing chuckie egg on my mates Dragon 32 fond memories.
Do you remember this console ?

Yip not so long ago I had one of those - a while back Game were selling off those by the bucketload and I picked up one of them. Also had the CD attachment for it as well.....but like a lot of stuff I sold it.

I go through cycles of buying then selling then regretting then buying again!!

I think Chuckie Egg was released on just about everything including the Acorn Electron :)

I have the CD attachment as well new/sealed very hard to find now so I am told.
your right about chuckie egg but it was still a good game,we also used to play a shooter called Lucifer's Kingdom.
