| The Poly computer. This is a computer that I used at High School around 1990 although the colour was a beige rather than this unique yellow colour which is the only one I have seen of this colour. The majority of the remaining examples of these computers can be found at the Computer Science Department at Otago University where they have a Poly Preservation Project running. |
| The Aamber Pegasus is the rarest computer I almost owned. I saw the only one ever come up on our local auction site Trademe for sale and the do-gooder in me led me to finding someone who knew of the computer and pointed them to the auction. The impoverished collector in my regrets this given the amounts I have spent on other computers of much less rarity but it did go to the right person. |

| ZX81 |

The very rare (does anyone have any more?) NZ written ZX81 software above is written by
Gryphon Software, Box 7044 Dunedin. There are three role playing adventure titles and one compilation :
Dragon Tower, Holiday in Transylvania, Treasure
Island, Toad on the Road/Artillery/Lunar Lander |
Titles by Antarctic Computing for the ZX81. ZX-Word Word Processor, Antarctic Casino (Poker, One Arm Bandit), I'm guessing this is NZ written software rather than distributed. On the back : Antarctic Computing

| Ladyhawke CD |
CD + front cover insert only |
|
|
 |
 |
My keen and eagle-eyed spotting saw what looked like a
game console and the Casio keyboard on the cover when looking through a bunch of CDs. Then flicking through
the insert was the wonderful picture of a Grandstand
Scramble game. It's quite possible that Ladyhawke is the
only female NZ retro-gamer in existance (I certainly haven't heard of any)in collector circles I circumambulate. |

Ladyhawke: flying high
"
Brown is more comfortable playing computer games. 'I'm a big, big gamer,' she says. 'I love first person shooters, especially World War Two games, because there are always tasks to complete and things to unlock – it's better than just killing loads of monsters.'
She also collects old video games, video games consoles – 'I'm such a dork,' she admits – vintage cameras, fridge magnets and 'Kiwi-ana. I have quite a good New Zealand tea-towel collection. I've got New Zealand salad servers, New Zealand soaps. I don't use any of it; it's all still in the plastic.'

Laptop bag designed by Julien Macdonald for Intel One of the most expensive items in my collection is not a computer, but just a laptop bag from 2003. It may be worth something, or someone was deliberately bidding me up who knew my never back down, Marty McFly complex when it comes to online auctions.
I wonder if there's a NZ connection to this. I don't believe when I bought this many years back there was any connection between the seller and where the bag came from or who it belonged to.
