Still got mine in a box somewhere, at the time it was pure win, now im amazed i didnt throw it through a window with the amount of times it committed suicide just as the tape was finishing loading. Still have a butt load of c90 cassettes with fifty bazzilion copied games on them......

LOAD""

I just use an emulator these days, i will finally get round to finishing chucky egg 2 one day. I have thought about buying an old rubber key model and putting it in some kind of display case to sit on my desk. I think it's a lovely object and was my 1st experiance of computers.

10 PRINT "Kingy is da man"
20 GOTO 10
RUN

Wish there was still a C64 at my parents, I'd love a good game of Spy vs Spy 2 or 3 about now

I had an Amiga 600... Win. I think my mum sold it though.

The problem is with these things is that the nostalgia is great, but then once you fire the games up, you realise how turd they were and all the little frustrations that had conveniently been forgotten come flooding back

I think if it had grey keys is was 16k and blue keys was 48k.

Oh the Spectrum ! Those rubber keys were erm, tactile... I loved it though.

lakitu · 21 Dec 2010 at 18:12

How cool does the whole thing look! Was it your own? Or did you just find it there?

I bloody loved that game

had it on my amstrad cpc6128

couldn't hack the tape loading computers after getting that!

I had a Speccy +2 but a friend had a +3 with disk drive rather than tape, it was so much quicker loading things

A mate gave me a bunch of vintage guitar pedals in lieu for me sorting his PC and network out - he wanted to sell them on the bay but couldn't be bothered.

The lot will easily fetch over £1k! Not my find but who cares!!

You aren't much of a mate :rolleyes:

I found a copy of PC Format issue 1 dated 1991 in my shed this evening

Not a great find however

HamZilla · 21 Dec 2010 at 19:36

I'm pretty sure I had that issue of PC Format too.

An original netbook, just needs a screen. You should take it on the train for a laugh.

Still got my Speccy 48k in the garage.
