They aren't the same as any of these (I assume due to copyright) but if you want to spend 3 grand on them knock yourself out.

If you ever feel like a fraud, just know that "the UK's richest living artist" and former Turner prize winner Damien Hirst is flogging prints of crudely drawn Space Invaders for 3,000 dollars a pop.

Just realised in over four decades of buying Spectrum tapes, I've never actually seen the original packaging for Short Circuit, only ever as part of Magnificent Seven (and later Hit Squad re-release).

I know it's as basic as they come, with very little variance, but I absolutely love Cosmic Ark.

Took a break from the Speccy today. Picked up one of these on the cheap & had a blast going through the big box of carts that hadn't seen the light of day for at least a decade.

Just saw these on one of those dreadful nostalgia-bait accounts.
Some of these sweets were absolutely boggin' & the nicer ones weren't anything to write home about.
Dreadful stuff.
