Ha ha, I remember this argument. You: You've (Spectrum) got fuck all colours. Me: You've (C64)got fuck all games |

yeah I have to go with the 64 also.... classic....hours and hours on that thing staring into the blue.... You could hack so many games on to one floppy.... Anyone remember the game Wizard? |

I could go on for years about how much the Spectrum had a huge effect on Music in the UK.... Maybe, in the monring, I will....tis late, mine mind is filled with Transquillisers and can't be arsed at the mo... Anyhow, check the Drukqs font (on the CD) & Girl/Boy Ep...some we all know obviously had a spectrum as well... p.s. I have the TTF fonts of the Spectrum & ZX81...useful for those retro feel websites (a la www.g3rm.org)... |

Apparently, aphex twin won some geeky contest, who could write a program that could get a spektrum to create sound? quite cool. But i have the most heartfellt nostalgic emotions towards the c64, tho. boy did i love that thingie..... |

I remember when we were about 13 (before I'd heard Aphex Twin) me and my friend were going to sample a spectrum loading into a track! |

Carter USM sampled the loading sound at the start of one track. i think it was called 'a perfect day to drop the bomb'. football manager c. 1980 was the best game ever. 'you have won the league. well done.You have been sacked.Sorry.' |

I remember when I was about 8 and my brother was revising for his GCSEs I used to lie on his bed reading DC comics whilst listening to Carter USM. Ah, those halcyon days. |

Amiga's Julie chip is the king (queen?)! |

I played an old Speccy game in my stereo the other day and it sounded great. One side sounded really fuckin evil. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Harrier Attack was the best "sounding" game. Really short and intense- like a song of the RDJ album. I'm going to get my speccy tapes out of the garage to listen to in the car :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was thinking how great it would be to drop a Speccy tape into a set. It'd clear the floor in seconds! Hey, you can drive around Barry with tha bad bwoys playing it real loud and draw some stares. |

Spectrum because you could open it up and perform autopsies on it and the chip was good for electronics classes and making..car alrms and other stupid stuff ..once you were done you would go..but it could do so much more as a computer!!!!!... cant beat the C64 games though |
||||||||

|
|
C64 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe I'm the only person who had an Amstrad CPC? Not Speccy,... Not C64,... BUT AMSTRAD!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Besides...they were all the same games for the Amstrad, the C64 and spectrum... (And Alan Sugar owns/owned Amstrad aswell as Spurs. He looked like Noel Edmunds!!!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Speccy! Speccy! Speccy! Driller was *the* most impressive game I played on the speccy. Slower that a really corny shit but still amazing. Takes a lot to beat Wheelie though :) Anyone remember that one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Indeed, "amstrad" stood for Alan Michael Sugar TRADing, believe it or not :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
It was all C64 for me! Elite and Fort Apocalypse were my fave games... Anyone used any of the emulators for PC. Its great! U can download loads of old classic games from http://www.lemon64.com/ and http://www.c64.com/ |
||||||||
|

|

I had an "Arnold" too. I was a miserable fucker even back then... |

How much longer are you guys gonna keep using/buying/digging out of the attics...all these shitty computers from yester..years...?? Get with times people! What the hell are you gonna do, be still using these gas powered things in years to come? Move on... |
||||||||

|
|
Come on, Chris, just some useless nostalgia there. Didn't harm anyone... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah Chris!! i love the old systems :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The old systems were good, but they have their place in society - museums! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then call my room a museum :P |
||||||||

Gameplay beats many of todays games which you will often now see in "PREOWNED" sections of high street shops. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ecxactly. And today they cost $50. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah.. the sid is one sweet sounding chip. the high-voltage sid collection is a must have for anybody who ever had a 64. do you remember rob hubbard, mike galway. jeroen tel etc. etc.? |
