Out of context Spectrum games

General software. From trouble with the Banyan Tree to OCP Art Studio, post any general software chat here. Could include game challenges...

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.
That bag is certainly living its life. They haven't used that "A fond la forme" strapline in ages ("full throttle fitness" I guess would be the translation). Reminds me of when I was browsing windsurfing gear there 25+ years ago!

The backdoor even looks like a fancy flash loader.

I was wandering the streets of Haworth today, and saw this rather incongruous zeddy in the window of a chocolate shop! Had a crack with the owner who cut his teeth on it as a youngster, and who recognised me as a fellow computer nerd as I gawped at it. Doesn't muck about either - he's got velcro on the back rather than blu-tac for the RAMpack!
Cool, they even offer ZX81s on their home page ... :mrgreen:

Ha brill! If he's reading, I do think there's a market for zeddy or 48K shaped chocolate bars.

And at £99.95, only £30 more than a real ZX81 cost !

It's a real, working ZX81 but with the insides made of chocolate. And considering inflation over the 40+ years, it's actually cheaper than the one in 1981.
It also comes with a free copy of The Brontë Family Adventure, so don't delay, order today ;)

This keeps coming up as a promoted ad on Facebook. Wonder if they've got it in red and cyan?
