Re: Out of context Spectrum games
Well, the next video for Reheated Pixels (see signature) is about Double Dragon. This could be an ideal opportunity to travel tens of miles just to film something that'll be on screen for about five seconds for a quick laugh. Just like the previous video, really. I think this is a must!R-Tape wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 10:27 pmHaha please do!

Who knows what I'll receive, apart from a Cantonese take-away?
Oh yes, it's the same town. About a block or two away from Double Dragon! The building is now just miscellaneous shops and small banks. Mind you, it had always pretty much been that way back in the day. I *think* Blaby Computer Games sprung out of a television rentals place there.
Reheated Pixels - a combination of retrogaming, comedy and factual musing, is here!

Works for me. Just like Silverstone, I get the laugh without having to do the ground work. Even better if you can convince the (presumably soon to be bewildered) owner to give a thumbs-up that the Speccy version "could do better"PeteProdge wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 10:52 pm Well, the next video for Reheated Pixels (see signature) is about Double Dragon.

'Nabulus'? Close, but no prize for you!

Also, 'Bir Zeit' - isn't that German?

Just don’t mention the war!
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

Love that Marsport one, it doesn't matter which letters are highlighted, the game is impossible not to see...
