Dude, thats worth a packet these days!

RIP Sir Clive
RIP Sir Clive
It's virtually new and still in the box, I purchased it about 20 years ago for 100 notes! I will snap some pics when I dig her out.

Be careful. It’s only called a C5 because that’s the vertebrae you’re most likely to break
Another one who started out with the ZX81 then moved onto the Electron as I needed BBC Basic for computer studies. Though I work in engineering I still have the love a of coding and scripting that started back in those far off days.
A true giant from my youth now gone.

The first computer I ever used was an old 16k or 48k - and I just remember how utterly space age it was for me. First game I played was Driller, and I think I had a mini panic attack when I got to a new area or something exciting happened. I eventually half owned a +2 with my brother, and we spent so many hours playing tapes off magazines. They were great days. RIP Sir Clive.

Whenever you went to a market there was always a bloke there with hundreds and hundreds of tapes for cheap. A market in Holloway was where I found one of the greatest games of all time, Cliffhanger
