Whats Dragon 32? I've been wondering about this for a while.
It is actually a clone of the TRS80 Colour - just in a different case.

One of my first computers - still got it somewhere I think.

Had some great games - although I would inevitably be disappointed if I tried them now.

gproar is an excellent emulator. Some games have slight difficulties (usually by using keys other than cursor) and a rare few will just crash, but most are perfect. These days I'm playing Chucky Egg, Mr Dig, and Lunar Rover Patrol more often than I did in the 80's :)

And I still have my dragon in the loft too :) (along with a c64, speccy, zx81, amiga500 and amiga1200)
 
A while ago I picked up a Dragon 32 and Dragon 64 at a boot fair, with a ton of software for £10. Unfortunately the Dragon64 had a problem with the TV output (very fuzzy), so I put it on ebay (fault described) and sold it for about £35. Later I decided to sell the Dragon 32 and software on ebay (I ran out of space to store it), and got about £50 for it!
 
I actually sold my dragon a few years ago to a guy I worked with for £30 (he collected old computers). Shortly after that we shared the same house. A while later he emigrated to Australia leaving all of his computers behind, so I now have my old dragon back :). Unfortunatly when I moved I couldn't keep all of his collection so I ended up throwing out 2 Acorn Electrons and a BBC among others :(. He also had a TRS80 Model 4 - can't remember if he found a home for that or if it also went to the tip.
