|  Plus 4 Booty
Hi there, after looking through these pages for a while it got me thinking about my stash of Plus 4 goodies up in the attic. I felt the need to check it out so at 0:15 I was out in the shed getting a ladder, 0:30 up in the attic searching for some dusty boxes.
What did I find...
1 box full of about 100 C16/+4 tapes including originals of Commando, Steve Davis Snooker, Kung-Fu Kid, Blagger, Monty on the Run (big case), Winter Olympics, Anco Sport 4 (big case), Bomb Jack (big case) and the original and great Tom Thumb.
also,
2 Plus 4's (I seem to remember one is faulty)
2 datasettes
2 power packs,
1 Original Atari joystick
1 D-connector to Commodore joystick converter cable
2 Plus 4 to tv cables
1 Melbourne House Commodore 16 Exposed book
2 Commodore 1531 datasette users guide pamplet
1 Anco C16/Plus4 Reference Book
1 Commodore 3+1 Software Manual
1 Commodore Plus4 User Manual
And possibly of quite high interest to you guys Issues 1 - 13 (all they published) of "The C16/Plus 4 Handbook" which was a fanzine/which evolved into a magazine published by H&D Services between 1986 and 1988. I was one of, actually the main, game cheats contributor after about issue 4. In fact I used to buy Mastertronic games and hack them the day I got them just to send in the cheats! I eventually got H&D to supply me with free games so I could crack them for the magzine as it was costing me a fortune back then! They would publish the cheats and I also reviewed the games for the magazine but was a crap reviewer, lol.
So the question is: Of what interest is this to you guys?
Oh, and Lando, I live in Southampton also!
Bye for now,
Aaron

We would love to grab the mag's off you and add all the cheats to the data base and these reviews I would lov to read, well I'm not sure what were looking at because I never saw these mags but maybe we could add them to the archive......
And also any game/s that I may not have will come in handy for Tap's, Covers and Cracks. A lot of work to do even now, but we want to bring as much to the net as we can. You said you have the orignal Bomb Jack which I don't have the cover for, only the release version Funny thing was only last weekend I added the orignal Paper Boy, Ikari Warriors and Ghouls'n'Ghosts covers to the data base. Can I scan it now 
Cheers 4 now

| Yes, no thanks to my PC
I have just spent the last 5 hours recovering my WinXP system. I rebooted earlier in the evening and the system wouldn't start. Damn registry was well and truly corrupt. No safe mode, command prompt nothing. Luckily I have dual boot so fell back to Win98 went to Microsoft got some documentation and spent the next 4 hours booting from CD and using the Windows Recovery console to get the system back again.
Wasn't it nice back when you could plug the computer in switch on and hey presto you're ready to go?
