Ooh, hello there, my little cherubs! Aunty Madge has been having a gander at these Red Boxes, and cor, what a marvel! Why settle for just playing Manic Miner when your Speccy can stop daylight robberies, eh? They've even got code words on ‘em – like a secret agent's lair it is.

For only one hundred and twenty-nine smackers, you can have your humble Spectrum bossing the kettle and toaster when Dan Dare is on the telly! It’s just the ticket for a lazy Sunday. Tell you what, though, don’t go fitting any Commodore clobber in your Speccy set-up, that’s just asking for trouble, that is. Now where's my crimplene shopping bag. I'm off for a gin! Toodle-pip!

That looks really nice.
Hobbyists would have loved it.

Any idea how popular these got?
Doesn't feel much considering the price tag.

This is the first I've heard of them! Very interesting.
