Dot Gobbler, Amazing Maze and an unknown Tymac cartridge game. My snipe sadly was too low at the end. If no one here did win it, maybe I'll sling the winner a message asking about identification on the Tymac game...

Did they agree to post the whole lot to the UK, or were you using an "agent"? A very nice lot.

I would have had it sent to Kris if I'd won. What I usually do if I can't have something shipped to the UK ;)

I never thought of that. I just bought an Atari ST for 99p from a seller in Derbyshire who wanted a local pick-up. I sent a couple of messages asking about P&P but he didn't respond. I decided to bid anyway. The item is too far away for me to collect so I've offered £20 for postage and packing. I'll have to wait and see what happens.

You could always arrange for a courier company to go and pick it up for you as a proxy... I've done that in the past ans the seller was fine about it. :)

Derbyshire

Go for a day out in the Derbyshire Dales and pick it up. Tell your wife it is a lovely day out for a Derbyshire cream tea and then collect some retro on the way and everyone is happy ;-)

I did a trip to Exeter to do that once for a C128 and Southend for a Dragon 64.

Collecting was fun till I could not move in my garage - Lol

Predictably, the seller told me to get stuffed. In truth, this is probably for the best. The ST is one more retro-machine than I can afford. I think I'll make do with the Steem Engine for the time being.

I won this, but haven't received it yet.
I'll let you know what the Tymac game is and if the two Machine Language games actually work.

Cheers... least it's someone here in the Denial community! If the Tymac game ain't Key Quest, we've got ourselves another confirmed rumour mill release to swap over, and a request to dump that sucker ;)
