[mention]R-Tape[/mention] is getting almost as much abuse as I do when I say I like the sound on the C64 version of Raid over Moscow, and I prefer 16:19 to 4:3! Ohh, and I quite like the TI99/4a.

The keyboards for the TI99/4a are good for hacking to a ZX81 :

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :dance
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

Haha fab. Is there worse than that? Doomdark's revenge has 28 keys, but the overlay kind of discounts it.

Heh - yeah, I'm sure there have been more keys in some flight sims etc., but having 19 (fairly weird) action keys for such an ultra-fast-paced arcade game is just sadistic... :twisted:

Heh - I'm sure the graphics weren't that bad.. :lol:

...And what's the issue with Ms Russell's ankle..? Or is it the fact that she's wearing high heels in a jungle?

I got in a lot of trouble with some kids' mum for selling them this game back in the day, I can still feel the white heat of embarrassment of being shouted at in public. :oops:

Pretty tame by today's standards though!

My local newsagent usually had Your Sinclair on the middle shelf along with all the other Spectrum mags, but this Vixen issue had been moved up a shelf, not top but the next one down. Strutting to the counter, flipping through it to make sure the poster was in there, I thought(hoping) it was to be huge A2 in size, but turned out to be a double pager.

Heh - if it got returned did you check the box to make sure the poster hadn't been removed...? ;)
