What a lucky find at a car boot sale for all of £3, it's a bit rubbish even if it almost looks like a shrunken PS5. Yes that is a Sinclair Spectrum power supply
A look at the plug and play hardware I have in my collection A nice easy way to play games without loading them from standalone media. Usually based around a theme, featuring games from specific hardware, developer, or publisher, and often cheaply made and targeted at the youngsters Although some of them were actually pretty good, and contained several Easter Eggs to find. I like Easter Eggs! There are 33 plug and play consoles in the museum
ADVERTISMENT BREAK!
