Came over on my Ebay notifications for games needing pictures for the DB. This is an auction for Alien Storm on ZX Spectrum. Only ships to Europe:

I just see that topic and was telling myself "damn i missed it" but apparently the vendor made another offer for that game, same thing than last time, only ship to the EU. This time i will try to get it (unless someone else from VGC want it of course  ;)):

Cool, hope you can get it! I am wary of cassette games. I think that I either would not trust that they still work, or not want to wait for the game to load. I don't have nostalgia for cassette loading games. I would have wanted it for the box, but these micro releases that Sega had with the generic box for multiple platforms, it does not have any text on the spine. Even some of the other style ZX Spectrum game boxes have more like advertising taglines and things on the edges.

Oh well, at least it actually exists. All my saved ebay searches are things I can't find a picture of to confirm it exists.
