    All my stuff is common as muck to be honest. Less common (can't call it rare) item I have is probably the ICO pack that included the post cards - although haven't seen it in ages...

    The other one I still have is samantha fox strip poker, which I remember being told was "bought for the poker", which I believe, it was on a spectrum!, you'd want to be very hard up to be getting excited looking at those graphics:p

    Probably glad the Speccy had a rubber keyboard then, in case of "spillages".......


    Truth be told more young men got hot and heavy playing Football Manager than staring at some pixellated tarts chest.

    In terms of value Panzer Dragoon Saga and Shining Force 3 sc1-3 and premium disc I guess
    oh and one of the rarer discs of Lunar Silver Star Story

    In terms of how many people probably played them maybe Langrisser 2 or Sigma Star Saga

    Having made a related comment in another thread I was reminded that the most obscure game in my collection is also, possibly, the only copy of the game and necessary console in the country, and that is Tempest 3000 and the Nuon, respectively.
    Tempest 3k, the sequel to the only reason to own a Jaguar Tempest 2000, is another game from the insane mind of gifted developer Jeff Minter and is a glorious miasma of light and sound, not to mention gameplay.
    Sure, the pervasive lightshow gets in the way of the game but it is a beautiful thing nonetheless.
    The console was a massive flop, a gaming chipset designed to be built into DVD players, set top boxes etc. Sadly none came to pass aside from a handful of DVD players.
    The games were dreadful aside from Tempest, and machine quickly descended into bargain bins and disappeared.
    The console was actually released in the US, Korea and Europe, mostly thanks to Korean backer Samsung's support, some machines lack the controller ports, however but these can be hacked into the machine.
    So, the Nuon and Tempest 3000, not just rare as hens teeth but as rare as good crown work on hens teeth!
