Review of the Spectrum Software Hire rental service

Sinclair Classic #02

SUPPORT SCENE SPECTRUM SOFTWARE HIRE is Joyce Meadows! and is based in Trowbridge Wiltshire. She has on offer a massive library of over 1000 games and utilities. A monthly newsletter is distributed with your order and a prize draw awards free hire units to the winners. Up to four titles can be hired for a period of one week. Prices vary from £1.50 (for an older type program with little in the way of inserts) to £3.50 for those hard to find +3 disks. All prices include first class postage and packing.

The cost of hiring the more recent titles is pretty high considering you can buy most of them on re-release at £3.99 but where SSH really comes into its own is the early stuff and the utility programs which are never seen again. Speaking as a member I can honestly say that SSH offers an efficient service and a much needed one at that. Some of the tapes and instruction inserts are looking a little tatty but that really is unavoidable wear and tear. Every tape has loaded however. The newsletter is also recommended as it carries various tips, pokes and small ads. Spectrum Software Hire (free membership) at 32 Dursley Rd, Wiltshire, BA14 0NW (SAE).
