Ummm... i assume none here read the ENTIRE auction-info, right?

Quote:
Up for auction here are 100,000 original, brand new retro software titles.
Sounds good....

well....
Quote:
Most are cassette based and cover the following platforms..........
ooook? And the platforms are?
Code:
Sinclair ZX Spectrum 
Commodore 64 
Amstrad CPC range 
Acorn Electron 
BBC Micro 
MSX 
Commodore C16/Plus4 
Commodore Amiga 
Commodore Vic 20 
Atari ST 
IBM PC (5 1/4 disks) 
Dragon 32
Argh... that many?!

Well... should be about 1.000 PC games if we break it down evenly... right?

Quote:
There are varying quantities of each title. Some have only a few copies, others have 100's of copies. I would estimate that there are in the region of 1000 different titles covering all the platforms mentioned above.
So... 1000 games... over 12 platforms.... = less then 100 games for each (assuming even distribution)....

So... 100.000 UNITS... not 100.000 games... Sorta big difference..

IF you own all 12 platforms....

Most will be probably in a horribly degenerated state, practically unusable.

If I had the money I'd get 'em for sure and then try and ship them over to Kosta's house for use on the new sites + some for this site.

But you wouldn't really need 100 copies of the same ZX spectrum game, now would you?
