I wish I could remember the ASCII code

10 'R Tape loading error is gay'
20 'Goto 10'

or something

BAD Spectrum

Commodore had Micro Prose Soccer, single handedly the greatest football game of all time.

Were all built in 128s that size? I remember them being longer and thinner?

The Spectrum 128 with the built-in tapedeck only ever came out in that design as far as I remember. Not getting it mixed up with an Amstrad are you ?

I know it off by heart

C64 for me. I've still got it up in the loft

I think there was a grey version and a black version

 

[Easy 10]

Same size though aye ?




God, why do I even CARE ?

I think it's my memory playing tricks after all this time since I had my heart set on one!

I could murder a game of Bombjack right now with my Kempston joystick!

We used to use one of these

on the BBC Micro

Can anyone identity where the joystick originally came from.....

 

[Easy 10]

Ahh, the Kempston. The choice of the gaming connoisseur.

Commando was my fave. I played that till my thumbs bled.

The Kempston was perfect for Bombjack because you could hover for ages to collect the Ps and Bs and gradually drift down the screen collecting the bombs.

Atari 2600

Did you have the paddles ?

 

[gullshark]

Yup, to play a game that had a giant snake trying to spit venom over you.

Sabre Wolf - we had that.

C64 for me. Loved Wally Trolley. Still have alot of affection for my poor old Dragon 32 !

 

[Badger]

The C64 was the mutts!

My brother bought one off ebay a couple of months ago, so we've been reliving our childhoods ever since.

I hope he's got it plugged in to something like this:

otherwise you'll lose some of the authenticity

i had the Speccy +2 (and never had a problem with the built in tape drive). i brought it soley on the basis of what games where available, think it might have come down to Dizzy not being on C64. the C64 was though clear better hardware and had a bit more life in it. in fact, i think some artist uses the sound chip to this day for doing synth sounds.
