i did i bought a sinclair zx 81, and then a commodore vic 20 in like 1981, then got a speccy 32k, to me the vic20 was better , then a c64 better than the rest..

as for the ql i was tempted, but i think the amiga was much better

i've even got a sinclair z80 still

commodores were much better, just admit it andy

The QL was the PC which Linus Torvalds owned.

Both were good but one was British made and the other was not

i think i was the only one who kept it going thru the dark days of the early 80's when many manufacturers were struggling and went bust, i've still got 100s of games on cassette which I BOUGHT - AND PAID CASH FOR , also home computers, magazines from the early 80s, cartridges etc.. I spent a fortune on

thou with the SNES and MEGADRIVE coming along it would end my spending spree with the purchase of the awesome MGH (multi game hunter)



http://home.clara.net/robwebb/backup.../venusmgh.html

i suppose i giveth and then i taketh

LOL hey i bought my 1.99 and sometimes 2.99 games with my pocket money and if i was lucky i buy a full price one Even from Ocean i belive a manchester software house

yes ocean, they were called something else b4 ocean, what ever happened to them

£1.99 and £2.99 must have been by mastertronic - early days the darling brothers worked for them (codemasters)

mgh, oh it was. i think i threw it out a couple of years ago , it had an adaptor so it could fit on the snes or megadrive, you could copy the cart that was in the top, or even better download games form your fav bbs (b4 the Inet took off) and from your pc copy to fdd and the mgh could read the floppy and you could play them game, first time i saw it it blew my mind , that the next day i bought one for £300 alot of money then.. ...

but i still have profighter one, which has a serial interface on it , so you can connect it to your pc and so it went from copying 1 cart by yourslef to downloading 1 game from a bbs to buying a cd with 650 games on which could be transferred from the pc to the copier - a gamers heaven

oh , you used a sinclair ac adptor on the MGH and the other copiers becuase they could handle a lot of amps - so one use for the adaptor but not the puter

i should be on mastermind video gaming industry in the 80's

Codemasters i remeber the BMX simulator game

There were loads of games at the cheap prices back then going down to the WH smiths.

Ocean were always ocean but changed name it appears

[bornatbirth]

you 2 are bringing back my teenage memories... i had a zx spectrum and did indeed buy a full price game every now and then,aswell as the cheaper games but would swap and share games with my friends.

i think i have had every games console and still have a super nintendo and N64 with the classic golden eye and its poorer follow up perfect dark,i also have the expansion for better graphics

sadly even with multi platform gamed having to buy a different console for that console only game is a little annoying.

whats more sad since my wife arrived my game playing days are over,well very limited

[joebloggs]

you missed a bit Andy, they were called ' Spectrum Software' b4 ocean, i remember their ads

look under the ocean logo, where it says Predecessor Spectrum Software

the name spectrum keeps appearing again and again

i think i must of been through stacks of joysticks in my time,only now they vibrate

[joebloggs]

i also remember my mother beating me at digger dan,she told me a whlie ago that she use to practice while i was at school

i use to play super bomberman on the snes with my sisters kid, he beat me 100s of times, and like in the simpsons when homer beat bart once, he would never play it again

but did your mom ever beat you, that would have been embarrassing , my mom once played a game on the vic 20 which still me now

[bornatbirth]

my dad and mum and me,would play digger dan after school and my mum would get the highest score most times....in which she would find so funny...of course i never let it bother me

[joebloggs]

.of course i never let it bother me

have you seen a shrink about it , i bet you still play it every day now, beaten by your mom



those were the good days of video games , can't see your mom wanting to play resident evils 5 or some other violent games now
