Quite nice site !!

 But... ...no Sinclairs.... ...sniff!  :-D


I have a lot of games on the site for ZX SPectrum, but don't have a hardware profile. If you would like to write a description of the ZX, I'll add a picture and a hardware profile to the site. Sound like a plan?

It's kind of hidden under Resources


I think the deal with sites and forums is that they all seem to be plastered on the front page in some form or other (latest posts usually). I went to your site just now and what I saw was a giant bunch of intro text that I'm never going to read and it took me a while to figure out that there were links to things above it.


The forum now has better realestate. I moved it next to Home and Vintage Hardware -- thanks for your input. Again, if you can make the odd random post, it is much appreciated :)

Is this software in the right place? (Vintage and Classic Hardware forum)

and these hardware items are they in the right place? (Vintage and Classic Software forum)

I find it a little confusing having two categories with the same title... (Buy, Sell and Trade) even if they are in different groups.

Other than that, make the link to the forum a LOT more obvious. ;-) I wish you well.


Let's say it is a work in progress... I am focusing on getting the forum in use. I have an Amiga only site in the work due out in January.

Just joined your forum and took a peak, looks pretty good. Just now getting back into Amiga and I am very hyped up about getting my system going. This will be mt first Amiga. We had one where I used to work but now I finally have my own. I have the Toaster 4000 on a 4000 model Amiga which is what we had where I used to work. Still have some bugs to work out but hopefully i will get it going.

I have already posted alot here on this forum and will surely be posting on yours as well.

Amiga.org is the best site out there in my opinion. Aminet.net is the place to get software and Amigaworld.net is mostly about os 4.0.

My site is mostly about Vintage Hardware, software and games. I hope you enjoy it as well and feel free to make any contributions.
