Without fully reading your post I was already mentally composing a letter of complaint to the post office regarding the lack of Amiga games in the line up... Bloody hell it's half Amiga! Nice one post office!!

I’m disappointed by the lack of Manic Miner/Jet Set Willy, if I ever pick up a Spectrum MM will be the first game I play.

I'd say 5/8 are Amiga games. Micro Machines was on the Amiga. I'm not much of a stamp collector but I'll definitely be buying these!
They even have my first ever computer game - Dizzy on the Commodore 64. Lovely set. |

Not only surprised the Amiga got so much love, but even the BBC Micro got mentioned with Elite.
Well that makes a bloody change that the Amiga hasn't been sidelined, good job |

Jaz Rignall had a hand in this apparently. You've got to admit it's an absolute belter of a line up. Difficult to fault it.
We're taking it as a given they've got to be British games, I think he's got the biggest ones of the period. |

A nice choice of games.
With "The Sentinel" (Rainbird/Firebird) would be even better |

Great news to raise the profile of Amiga games and the platform in general! It was a shame that the BBC Radio 5 Live took the easy option and interviewed members of the ex-Core development of Tomb Raider rather than talking to Sensible or Team-17 when they covered the story.

There were more stamps related to Tomb raider alone than both Sensible and Team 17 combined.

Dizzy was probably a much safer bet. |
