Re: RIP F David Thorpe
Those are some well remembered loading screens - I think I owned the majority of the games!

Re: First tape/games you got with your ZX Spectrum
I know I got Horizons but my mum wouldn't buy a tape recorder because she wanted me to learn how to program, not waste my time playing games.
Took over 2 weeks of begging to get a tape recorder as I was crying about spending all that time typing and losing it all when the computer was turned off!

Re: C5 cautionary tale
I think the main complaint being that a truck driver wouldn't see you in a C5, so a good chance of you being smeared into the tarmac. You'd not be able to use them on the pavement either. So the type of neighbourhood where you could pop down the shops would be rare? It's all 20 and 30mph around her...

Re: C5 cautionary tale
The single, biggest, mistake with the C5 was having it's launch in the middle of Winter :( I had one a few years ago and it was a great machine to tinker with and pop in to town on. Yes, it had issues like the brakes being completely inadequate but, I wish I had been able to keep it. I would definit...

Re: Introducing retro gaming to my lad
I've managed a tested&working GBA SP and 8 games (including Super Mario) for £80,
They're being sent to Brazil where any GameBoy model is nearly £300 alone
I'm tempted to send over 1 a month with that mark up

Re: Unnecessary inclusions in games
Knight Lore (and a whole load of other games!) - the time limit. There's no need for it. After a while it becomes apparent that it'll be impossible to finish before the time ends, so what's the point of playing on? This spoiled the game for me. As much as the graphics amazed me I only played it for...
