I remember head over heels. I had it for my spectrum 3+ on 3" hard disc. wasn't it something to do with a dog and a cat roaming around a 3D house/laboratory

That's the one! Although I think they were both more like dogs than cats.
 
Did anyone have an acoustic coupler?
Back in the days when a 9600 baud modem was just tooooooooo expensive?

I've got "Revs" for the BBC-B on 5.25" floppy (proper floppies ;)) if anyone can use it? Plus a few other bits 'n' pieces in a rigid disc box.

I loved that game, first proper racing sim I ever played. I was actually annoyed when they changed Silverstone and it was no longer the same as Revs. :\

Do we get the 7 minutes of yellow and blue lines accompanied by a shrieking machine?? If not, it's just not going to cut it. 'Has it crashed? I dunno....I think it might have.....lets give it another minute or two.....'

Wasn't that loader at the front of some games called "Novaload" if I recall.

Also anyone else remember the C64 anti-piracy device called a Lensloc?
 
Nostalgia is sometimes best left alone. I have burst a few peoples bubble by lending them Virtua Racing :D

*harks back to the good old days* ...playing Gaunlet for aaggggeeess, then getting to the level where you had to turn the tape over *fingers crossed* 'please load, please load, please load.....' *screen goes black* 'NNNOOOOOooooooo!!!!!'
 
we still have a ZX spectrum in the loft. Think we even upgraded the memory to 128k or something - sure there is a seperate memory box or something i saw.

tapes > DVDs

That was the C64 "version" of the Speccy squealing load iirc. Gone were the days of waiting 15 mins in front of a blank blue screen.

Vaguely rings a bell, go on give me a clue.

My mate spent a week copying the antipiracy colourcode card from Jet Set Willy on the Spectrum, probably cost him more in felf pens than the game would.

Ahhh those were the days.
 
Lenslok.... that rang a bell so I did a quick search......

I hated those things, the amount of times it didn't work even when you had the lenslok!! Totally useless security device :eek: All the memories of frustration have come flooding back :)

No mention of my old baby the Amstrad CPC464 yet?

Cos they were crap and no-one else had them maybe? :D

Except my mate Nick, who compared to Neil (Speccy owner) and me (C64 owner) never really got the computer thing like we did.
 
I loved my BBC Micro more than anything else in the world until I got my Amstrad PC-1512 (I think?), which I then loved more than anything else in the world until I got a 486, and the cycle continues. We were always about 3 years behind the curve, though - although much longer with that BBC Micro :/

If you substitute the BBC for the CPC464 that sounds very similar, athough I started with a ZX81 that my father built from a kit :D
