Re: do you love the zx spectrum

i love the whole loading caper mate.

untouchables in particular.

it loaded per level.

and my speccy has no probs loading.

The Spectrum was what first got me into IT. Waiting 7 minutes for some of those 128k games to load was half the fun!

Re: do you love the zx spectrum

When I work out how, I'll have to put a silent simulation of a scpectrum animation simulation I did up.
I did it usising Xara Photo And Graphic Designer 7 (It wouldn't let me put sound in) but I reccomended it to anybody who wants an alternative to Paintbrush.

Try doing this on Melbourne Draw/Art Studio (I used XARA Photo And Graphic Designer)

You were lucky there bud,
I had a 48k model, so all those large games were multi loaders, i.e. you had to load each level.
However, I will always love the Spectrum, although I do tend to emulate these days, as I have no patience for loading, I must have wasted weeks of my youth (in total) waiting for all those games to load.
Does anybody remember a game called 'Soft & Cuddly' ?

Re: do you love the zx spectrum

amazingly i still have the patience for the games to load.
i just love watching them load.


perhaps one reason you emulate is you do not want to wear the speccy out.

Sorry, I meant World Of Spectrum.
Get yourselves over there for the forum and emulator

Re: do you love the zx spectrum

Now, come on. Why hasn't making your own compilations been mentioned yet?
I knew using tapes to load had their faults (such as being chewed up, becoming loose, snapping, becoming twisted,the loading times, etc) but wasn't the infamous microdrive far less reliable?

Re: do you love the zx spectrum

one game i remember was the untouchables every time u won a stage the following stage would load before u could play it.

i dont mind waiting for the games to load i get a real nostalgic trip out of it.

its amazin after so long these games load first time most times on my 128k.
