If anyone can name this game I'll be amazed!

That's like saying "Who are Duran Duran?"

I'm shocked. Shocked and old.

Aren't they the one's who did 'Relax'?

Still got mine up the loft too somewhere. Classic system.

Dont know what happened to my 128k+ - still got a VIC20 with a 32kb Ram pack.

I was clearing out my old room at my parents a couple of months ago, imagine my excitement when I found a box with my Spectrum, C64 & Atari 2600 in it. And they all still work. They don't make them like they used to. Around the same time my dad also had an Amiga, but I wasn't allowed to touch it because I was too young........ Kind of like my PC and my kids today

Weren't speccy's really fussy when it came to joysticks? My mate had one, (well actually he had several including a 128+3! but I digress...) and you used to have three of four different joystick options for every game.

Owning a CPC 464 at the time, I never had that problem. They were built properly.

Kempston interface or something seems to ring a bell regarding joystick issues...

I had a CPC464 COLOUR Amazing machines, wish I hadn't sold mine now just so I could play Gryzor or Roland on the Ropes again lawl. Still got tons of issues of Amstrad Action magazines here

I once unplugged the Kempston interface from my cousins 48k speccy while it was on and the screen went all corrupted and the spectrum had to be repaired which at the time i think cost about £70 which was a lot of money then. Oooops

Roland on the Ropes

Epic game there were a few "Roland" games that were good, Roland in time and Roland ahoy were also amongst my faves.

There's a Roland on the ropes remake download here

Ahh how I've missed that Firebird logo... happy happy times *wipes a tear*

 

[GoogalyMoogaly]

I had this game on the C64 I think. Wasn't half bad as i remember it!

Although the more I think about it the more I'm wondering if it might have been on a Demo CD on the first PC magazine I bought...

EDIT: although I remember it looking more like the screenshots on the back of the inlay Gimpymoo posted.

 

[FlukeRogi]

I still have 2

And my first ever game I bought BOOTY

Did you ever see what happened if you plugged a Currah Microspeech in while playing that? It triggered (never found out if by design or by freak accident) a part of the game where you were swimming underwater instead of the actual normal platform game.

Never did find out if that was something that was supposed to happen later on, or if it was some sort of early easter egg. One of the most bizarre things I ever saw on the Spectrum though.

Thank you I have just spent the last two hours on that site. My marriage may be over now !

I have Starquake on my iPad now

Still enjoy it just as much as when I had it on my Speccy

 

[nuttyprot]

hehe still got a rubber keyed spectrum fully working in the attic . May get it out for a little mess around the memories.

 

[ZombieFan]

I've got four spectrums rattling around the house. But I've got a bit of a habit for collectting retro computers.

I had a CPC6128. This thread is bringing back some awesome memories. Just spent the last 30mins on Wiki looking at all the games I used to play.
