now here is the spectrum discussion, moved, like i asked. someone agreed with me, so here it is!

So, who actually HAS a speccy

[Lew]

keep up with the times jacqui.....

commodore 64 is so much better.....

[Jacqui]

i've got one of them as well!

[timb]

i have a collection of old systems including a spectrum. Colony is still a great game to play on a speccy emulator.

[Sidders]

I've got one. The Dizzy games were the best.

[Adam]

Chucky Egg?

[Morals]

Comodores were rubbish Lewis. I still have at least 2 speccy's, and a shed load of games. Manic Miner was the greatest game ever created

[kendra k]

ATARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Morals]

I used to have (and may still have somewhere) the old atari (we're talking pre-2600 here) with the lovely brown faux-wood pannelling that took the chunky black cartridges

[kendra k]

my boyfriend has his (i think it might be the same one) and we play it all the time. sorta beats out ps2.

I had a speccy +3- with a disc drive!!!

Twas shite as you couldn't get games for it
I loved the spectrum...

[Morals]

I had the 128K+, the +2 and the +3. I (think I) can still remember speccy basic too...

Code: Select all

10 LET a = 1
20 LET b = 1
30 LET c = 1
40 FOR d = 1 TO 70
50 CIRCLE a,b,c
60 LET a = a + 1
70 LET b = b  + 1
80 LET c = c + 1
90 NEXT

Anyway, now I've bored everyone to death I'll mention one of the greatest games ever - Horace goes skiing. Hours of fun for all the family!

Hey, I had a ZX81, black and white computers with no sound are where its at daddio!

[Morals]

Ah, the ZX81 - no proper keyboard, no space bar (why the hell did they stick space in the bottom right corner anyway?) and that's about it.

I still love the fact it came with 1K of RAM (you could expand but hey, why would you EVER need 16K of RAM unless you were a rocket scientist?)!

[Diffusionuk]

And who could forget 'ram pack wobble', no there's a sentence I haven't used for a couple of decades

[Morals]

And the dodgy old thermal printer.....

[Sidders]

Anyway, now I've bored everyone to death I'll mention one of the greatest games ever - Horace goes skiing. Hours of fun for all the family!

That game used to bug the hell out of me. I could never get accross the road and even when I did I always crashed into a tree straight away.

[Morals]

I remember on superkaylo.com (R.I.P) they did a spoof advert for Horace goes culling, which basically placed Horace with a small baby seal and a large club. I laughed my arse off when I saw that...

[ninemaster]

Without doubt the greatest game was Golden Axe- bit of a Lord of the rings rip off but nothing beat the pleasure of kicking those irritating gift baring characters at the end of the level. Also Paperboy on the 128K with the seperate tape for the music-brilliant

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

golden axe was ok but the simpsons one on the c64 was better. hours of fun spray painting things...
