Re: specturm

I got a ZX Spectrum 48K for christmas in 1983 (i think it was!). I loved it! Wish I still had it to play about with now. The games were great!

Re: specturm

I reckon the original Sinclair 128K version was the best. That huge heat sink on the side used to keep my fingers warm when I lived in an unheated flat! Not to mention that it gave us much bigger games, with speech and multi-channel sound. Things like Starglider 128, Robin of the Wood, Tir Na Nog, Valhalla, Dark Star, Tau Ceti etc. Brilliant and more fun than games today!

i must agree those games where fantastic.
kids now would laugh at those games.
they would say look at the awful graphics.
the enjoyment i got from those old games was more than i get from games now.
others i love are.
manic miner jsw,renegade,target renegade and tons more.

check this out.

Re: specturm

I remember completing Atik Atak too. It wasn't one of the more difficult games, but that sense of achievement when you finally got outside of the haunted house was brilliant.

LOL, mine was a 48K. Must of spent years of my life using it. The games I particularly remember were Atic Atac (which I completed) and Sabre Wulf by Ultimate Play the Game. Unfortunately licence holder (Microsoft apparently) is refusing permission for these games to be reproduced for emulators .

You couldn't do much but I still managed to spend hours programming it. Learned all the basic principles of programming from it.

Re: spectrum

I had a spectrum, they were great little machines. Now I have a spectrum emulator, still play it all the time, mainly Match Day 2 - My all time favourite. Only now I don't have the problem of it crashing because the joystick interface moved when you pulled the joystick too far! LOL
