A few years ago I was telling my youngest GC about the Commodore 64 computer my AC had and the fun with all the games of which we had dozens.
After thinking about it a few days later, I looked on eBay to see if anyone was selling them.
Quite a few were available, some in a rather tatty condition others without the joysticks etc. I found a respectable version, bid and won. It was duly sent with 2 joysticks and the original games plus extras.
When it arrived...yes it was the one I'd sold decades before, recognised by the label underneath and family name in the games cassettes. How it found it's way to Dunkeld in Scotland, I've no idea. The thrill of playing Rambo (and I still haven't found the prisoners) Trivial Pursuit Paper Boy and call the other games, is still alive in me, my AC and GC.
I still have my Amstrad E-mailer with the pocket docket. The joy when the green and red lights flashed was second to none and last year I bought a leatherette covered 10 stack Dansette record player from eBay to play my old 45s EPs and LPs. Everly brothers, Johnny Tillotson, Beatles, Bobby Vee etc.
Memories...sigh. ?
