Congrats! I wonder how much a Messenger on its own is worth? I had the older Messenger in a black case. I'm not sure whether it came with the NMI card (which didn't need a case)... Was it only the early SAMs that had broken NMI buttons? > There's a couple of things I want to get my hands on, including Grubbing For > Gold and Oh No More Lemmings, neither of which I originally had and would like > to finally see... Hmm. I never bought Lemmings for the SAM... I had a look at it not so long ago, but I think I prefer the Spectrum version, since it's much faster. I'm guessing that was unavoidable on the SAM, though. :-( OTOH, I had a look at SPLAT! on the Spectrum, and definitely prefer the SAM version. Same goes for Pipe Mania and Defenders of the Earth. I'm still unsure WRT Manic Miner. I prefer the gameplay on the Spectrum, but I like the music, graphics, and of course the extra levels on the SAM. Oh well -- I guess we can't have everything. :-) -- Stuart Brady
