Spectrum Computing

I can just about manage golf games, snooker and pool, but when it comes to management of sports, its a big no for me. Don't think i ever played any of these, and don't want to either...

Technics SL-1410 Mk2 Direct Drive with an SME arm and Ortofon stylus.
Digital display, does 33 and 45, auto return, pitch control and almost instant start/stop.

A great turntable. Weighs a ton (not literally, but its very heavy).

Rasputin Mad Mix Rex Now, i prefer Mad Mix (and Rex for that matter) as full titles over Rasputin, but Rasputin was the only demo i ever played that made me actually BUY, YES BUY, the full game. I was upset when i found the controls insanely hard to get to grips with and barely got anywhere in the g...

An iconic Spectrum character for me is one that never (officially at least) appeared on the commode 64. Jetman fits that criteria. Lol - and he's not even on my lego pic! He was on there for a while, but he was dropped in a restructure, made redundant if you will... He got a good severance package ...

Well here we are... Its up on the wall, i went with the orange corners and stripe into the border. I'm absolutely lovin' it. Still waiting on 4 little corner bricks to come, easily fitted in place. Essentially, project complete! https://i.ibb.co/R9RxrbL/IMG-4847.jpg https://i.ibb.co/3BQ7GRm/IMG-4850...

Quick update. The integral part for the border arrived a couple of days back and i completed the frame last night. I'm still waiting for a 1x2x1 corner piece to arrive (4 needed, one for each corner), but these didn't stop me making the frame. I can fit them in last. If my lads at home tomorrow i'm ...

Colin, Thank you thank you thank you for Frank N Stein and this sequel Dr Acula. I've not had time to play Dr Acula as yet, but i'm sure its awesome... It's so nice to be able to offer a little "thanks" to the guys that created these games all those years ago. Frank N Stein was a big part ...

I reckon this must be the first time i created something that became a meme, even if it only lives in this tiny corner of the internet, i feel honoured

It's so it matches in my living room. I'm well aware i am using colours not available on the Speccy but i don't care!
It's mine, and i love's it...

And the picture is done!

With only a couple of pieces left to come, hopefully midweek next week, this ...

With a 4 day weekend, this sucker (at least the picture part) is getting finished... Cracking on with it this afternoon. New kitchen sink tap was fitted this morning, putting a poster frame up for the lad in a few mins, then its lego time for the rest of the day. Will it be done today? Maybe. In oth...

Starquake
Wizards Lair
Firelord

Factory Breakout i enjoyed a lot too.

Although i didn't get far in it, i loved Mindfighter. Had a big box copy of that with the book for many years. Don't recall what happened to it, probably sold it on ebay. Wish i still had it.

Not much has happened in the last couple of weeks. Another commitment has taken all my spare time (MegaAGS (AmigaVision) demo screenshots for the next release). However thats almost done and i'll be back onto this in 2-3 more days. In the meantime i have just placed an order for all the parts to mak...

Starquake, Wizards Lair and Firelord. His list may be short, but these are 3 of the finest games to ever grace the Speccy.
Starquake is insanely good.

Scuba Dive
Turbo Esprit
Harrier Attack

Space Harrier
Ghosts n Goblins
Commando

Sim City
The Light Corridor
Welltris

Finders Keepers got way more play time (completed it many times) from me.
Spellbound, Knight Time, Stormbringer, these just didn't have the same fun for me. Getting stuck quite easy, dying quite easy.
So no proportionals, just Finders Keepers all the way.
