Anyone for some Zelda?

Still got a while to go before I have all of them, also thinking about trying to get hold of a better copy of The Legend of Zelda, box isn't the best on that copy.

I dropped many.. Many.. Many pound coins into this one summer when I was a kid, it was at the swimming pool near the place we went camping.

You used an oct joystick method and you can purchase lives for your player before you died buy inserting more credits. I played it more recently and the game is meh.. Not the same without the joystick and boredom of camping lol..

Apparently they were her sons who was there and must have been about 12. Quite surprised by the selection of games he had!

I think £40 was fair as I got through a packet of wet wipes cleaning the sticky fingerprints of the cases :eek:
