Was walking around Blackpool today and me and my fella saw a computer shop with all the old computers in - I used to love my spectrum, and my commador 64.

Sega mega drive and sonic - wow

What computers were out when you were younger - unless your really old then they probably won't have been out at all (Andy RS turbo)!!!!!

Still got my ZX81 and 16k Spectrum in the loft

Used to get those magazines and sit there for hours typing all that code, just to see a ball bounce across the screen

Hit play on the tape recorder listen to all that screaming and then watch it come up with the error message

I had a binatone console ,bright orange, two sticks that went up and down the screen trying to hit a ball...still got it in the loft

then i had a comadore 64 given to me with the matching tape drive ( fooking loading that was a missoin, rememebr shinobi (sp), and double dragon , top pc that was )

then i got a atari 1040ST with a black and white monitor as i was gona be a song writer and neded one


then i got a amiga 500 with the turtles pack ( 3 disc to load that gay game )

i broke a few power suplys with that ( over heated and burnt out ) went back to the 1040 and bought a games pack from birgin with doible dragon, that space catapiller game where a flying guy with a rogkt launcher shoots down and ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

then the console was invented , NES i had for christmas, then a master system, then a atari lynx hand held and a pc engine ( that no fooker heard about and most still aint ) then a seuper nes that my dad refused to pay the money for the games and sold i sold it for a jap verion of a mega drive ( jes i am that bad in business ) and used that forever

I still got my speccy here and all me games (about 3000 tapes! )

saff_cossie

I remember the ZX as my mate had one. He always got consoles as soon as they came out. Even got the Neo Geo which I think was a bit of a flop or so bloody expensive no one could afford it!

Rs Baz

ive still got mine it was a spectrum 128k

my best game was paper boy does anyone remember that game

saff_cossie

I had paper boy in the master system! That was on the one on a diagonal screen where the screen moved and you had to keep ahead of it.

FastFordChris

anyone remember izzy the egg? on the spectrum, they even had indiana izzy where he had the hat and whip.....lol

everyone was after the jap mega drives cos u could play both jap and uk games on them and the jap games were cheaper, the jap mega drive had the blue tag on the front anyone have the mega cd? with NIGHT TRAP

uknow i cant believe it was 10 years ago when i bought my playstation 1 (got it when it first came out) mad how far computer games have come now compared to back then.

I had 48k speccy with a wafer drive LOL what a waste of time that was!
Similar to a micro drive but more crap....
Then got an Amstrad CPC6128 with colour monitor, sold that for 700 quid!!!!!!
Brought an Amiga A500 after that and went mad on it:
1.5mb extra memory
colour monitor
2nd drive with hardware copier
genlock
5mb hardrive
And about 5000 copied disks of every game and demo you could possibly think of, those were the days of trading by post in the early 90s

I can't remember any of the games on any of the computers I had apart from the ones I got now - PS1, PS2, Sega megadrive, Xbox, 2 x Nintendo Gameboys, and a PC.

Not sure what make my spectrum is (still got it somewhere) Just remember the black keyboard with the flat keys.......and I remember usualy getting very fed up while my dad was trying to load a game for me!!!!!!

I loved my commador 64, had an amega 500 too, but can't remember much about that - must have been crap!!!

Vic20 then a Spectrum +2 then a C64 then an Atari ST then an Atari Falcon then onto PC's.

Had a PS1 and PS2 aswell.

Imagine what things will be like in say 10 years...the way things are progressing i'm seriously excited

Oranoco

I had a Spectrum + (hard key version of the 48k) with an additional Kempston interface and a quick shot II joystick

I progressed from there to an Amstrad Mega PC (386sx PC and Sega Megadrive in one machine) now filed in the loft.

Then it was a Super NES which I still have burried away at my mums.

Then a Sega Saturn Rally Championship was the only decent game and the machine flopped.

Then I got a Playstation before getting a PC and more recently a PS2


Phew

Ginge !

i ended up with loads of fooked ones , remember the other version of it aswell made for street fighter on the snes , "real arcade joystick "

oh and izzy the egg on the C64 is the tits , had the whole collection and played em for ages
