What was better. I had both but have to say the good old 64 kicked the beepy spectrum's ass. The time I spent waiting for a colourful but blocky 64 game to load was made easier by some games having loading music. Could the spectrum do this? No I don't think so. <P>Top games on the 64- Hawkeye, Delta, Head over Heels, Thundercats, Wizball, Parallax, IK+.<br>Ahhhhhh memories, aahhhhhhhh BISTO.

C64 was the greatest thing ever. I had so many games and I never got bored with it. Maybe thats why I never had any friends as a child  :)

No the Spectrum was THE best!!  Can't remember many of the names of the games, I had loads of them, they were brilliant -Ghostbusters I remember was amazing though.  <P>Did anyone ever have an epileptic fit because of the mad colours on the screen when a game was loading?  Anyway, the 5-10mins it took to load simply built up the anticipation for a great game like Chase HQ - that was sooo good!! <P>I think the best thing about it was the Spectrum magazines you could get every month with a free cassette game on the front..which never worked.. <IMG SRC="http://chrismoyles.net/ubb/frown.gif"><P>Ah, memories, sweet fond memories..<P>

I went from ZX80 to ZX81 to every model of ZX Spectrum, as well as a Radio Shack TRS-80 and 2 tatung Einsteins, to the Commodore Amiga (a 500+, a 600 and a 1200HD). <P>Then I slipped down the slippery slope of Micro$haft Windoze.

This topic wasn't a good idea  <IMG SRC="http://chrismoyles.net/ubb/frown.gif"> You've opened a can of worms winker...

I also had a spectrum 48k+ (hard keys, not the rubber ones). Then the king C=64, then an Atari ST (RIP), then an Amiga 500 (with extra 500k memory, woooo). Also had a sega master system, which was kinda cool, but ultimately pants. Out of all of these the old 64 was and still is the best. Obviously I have loads of the olden days games on my hard disk running on a 64 emulator. Oh yeah, another cool game was Last Ninja. <p>[This message has been edited by winker (edited 17 June 2001).]

SPEEECY RULE<br>I was king at Rainbow Island and you could buy a game for a couple of quid. BBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR BEEEP BBBBBRRRR BEEPP

[Stickyspanner]

When I got my +3 I missed all the BRRR BEEP BRRR BEEEEEEEPPPPP stuff<P>Once I even made the noises as I waited for the game to load  :)<P>Ohh - the memories

I shamefully admit to owning an Amiga CD-32, and I paid £300 quid for it!! Doh. It was super shi.te.  On the Amiga, Shadow of the Beast and Super Hang-On were brill. <P> On the daddy; C=64,Turrican, Salamander and any System 3 or Thalamus game were corkingly (TM 1987-1992 Beano/Dandy comics) good.<P>Tit clamps.<p>[This message has been edited by winker (edited 18 June 2001).]
