I was having a clear out at the weekend and found my old original boxed DB Classic and DB-Pro (along with some tutorial books ("Tricks of the Graphics Programming Gurus", "Fractal programming in C") and a complete SCO-UNIX reference manual!). I love finding long-lost goodies.

What gems have you found (or re-discovered) in your loft? (I'm not talking about that 'special' collection of magasines either!).

I got a load of stuff from my parents a couple of months ago, some really old crusty gaming stuff, like the worlds best joystick...

I've gone all retro this year and procured an Atari ST, Spectrum +2 and a C64 - kinda sick of emulating old games and find the original machines so much more fun to mess around with... so much so that I hope to release my first Speccy game next month

So yeah, anything useful for that is now out of the loft and in the living room where it belongs.

I am the one who knocks...
