Re: Spectrum memes

I remember that, it was on the SU covertape with Kama-in-the-khazi Bear on it.

Never got the alert message, didn't switch anything off. Others arrived 5 minutes later and that would be great for the 3 minute warning.... as it came and went in a flash.

Ah, I've always wanted a version of Nodes 128K toasty/+2 but without the in-game speech. How easy is that to do? And yes, I do own the original game from new.

Re: ZX Spectrum featured on Saturday Superstore (BBC 1984)

Popped into my youtube list too.

It's all there, Sarah Greene, Spectrums, 3 kids, clumsy key combinations and neck strain looking at those high up screens.
Yes, they'll be in their mid 50's by now.

Re: Did you have your own TV/monitor when you got your Speccy?

My Spectrum arrived in April 1984, I had access to the small portable 12" b/w tv in the spare room. Great for games and programming. I only saw games in colour when I went to a friends house or when I could get the big colout TV to myself. The portable TV grew legs and moved into my room. It la...

I already own a working Interface 1 with a microdrive, just not got around to re-felting the pads on the few carts that have saved images of Laser Squad and some old forgotten graphics from 199...

It's a bag-for-life from France, something to do with sportswear goods. No Francis Morgan Ayodélé Thompson or Daley Thompson to you matey, no lucozade or running shoes to be seen here.
