Little Professor was my JAM when I was but a nipper. Did look on eBay at one point to get one - but I have enough 70s/80s tech to last a lifetime.

I LOVE the RM range of machines, they were very powerful for their time and were better than a lot of the competition at the time. Still trying to get my hands on a 380z, but I do have the 480z

Does anyone in the UK have Pitfall II for the Atari 8 bit on cartridge? I had this back in the day, but it seems to be unicorn poop nowadays.

I wasn't a speccy lad back in the 80s, but I always considered the Spectrum to have the most distinctive look for its games and one that still stands up to this day.
Definitely gonna buy!
