Yes I've still got all the discs and those fantastic manuals for all the Microprose sims on C64 & Amiga too.

I well remember rushing home from school to play on my C64 at 5pm and after what seemed only like two hours it was suddenly 3 o' clock in the morning!...where did the time go... the mark of any truly great game.

Mind you quite a bit of that time probably went into loading the games in with those damn tape player thing, prior to my acquisition of the super speedy 1541 disc drive!

Looking back now, it's amazing how much gameplay they managed to cram into that tiny 64KB of memory and frightening to think that was now 20 years ago!
