No idea why but thus excellent ZX SPECTRUM game just came into my head. Which led onto Manic Miners and Ant Attack!!!! Any more....

There was a brilliant football manager game on the BBC computer - no idea of the name - but I believe [MENTION=275]MikeySmall[/MENTION] might know or at least remember it. Those machines weighed a ton!

Manic miner was before jet set willy. Still play through it now and again emulated on ds in my mission to one day get all the way through without using a save state.. Don't suppose I'll ever manage it though..

I remember my friend had a spectrum 48k with rubber keys. I wanted one, but my mum and dad had only just bought me a Commodore Vic20 the year before.

A couple of years later I got a commodore 64. And when I finally started earning my own money, I bought myself a Commodore Amiga.

I had the ZX + - plastic keys.
Used to love waiting for the game to load, then it would crash because the volume control was slightly off !!

Used to play an old version of football manager, trying to get it to load sometimes took longer than actual playing time though.

I showed Match Day to my (FIFA11) obsessed son the other day on YouTube.

He laughed.
