If im bored in frount of the PC i sometimes go to Google and type in various things.

Tonight i decided to type in a game i played on the ZX81 called 'zuckman' i remember it being one of my favorite games.

I Googled 'zuckman' and the first page listed was:

http://www.sincuser.f9.co.uk/022/letters.htm

I wrote into sinclair user posting my high scores, and 22 years later i found my letter on the internet

thats really suprised me!

my surname is slater and not slatter
 
Yes, thats pretty bizzare!

Just been reading through that "mag".

How things have changed..........

Take a look at one of the pages that even reviews a clip on joystick that attached to the keyboard of the Spectrum.

I was always a Commodore man myself but the ZX81 and the Speccy were legends. :)

Those were the days! :D
 
Churning out the aliens
WHEN I BOUGHT a Spectrum 48K a few weeks ago I thought the standard of games for it would be fairly good but nine games out of every 10 available in the shops are childish tripe along the space invaders lines.

I am 35 and want something to tax my intelligence. The cliche games such as chess and backgammon fulfil this slightly but there is tremendous scope for programmers to turn their skill to producing new games. I accuse them of taking the easy way and churning out aliens after aliens after aliens.


with all the moaning about games using the same old tired formulas, it even happened back then
 
I cant explain how wierd it was seeing my letter after 22 years!

I was u till 3am this morning googling other thing from my past.
 
That's pretty damn wierd dude. My wierdest internet experience to date was a few years ago.. Surfing naughty sites, and by random clicking I came accross a single pic of one of my ex girlfriends doing naughty things.. Very odd moment really (not because of any kind of risidual emotion), what with the internet being absolutely huge n all, and it being a foreign site. I later asked her about it and it turned out to have been taken by a partner. She then went mental at him. What are the odds of all that?..
