I don't ever remember being able to rent from shop although I did buy most of my games from John Menzies (before it was sold to WH Smith). And I do recall a postal rental service where you could rent games from a catalogue, kind of like a precursor to LoveFilm I guess but using that old invention of pen and paper.

I downloaded the trial version first and then bought the full version when I quickly found that some of the games were still very good. If you do keep trying to find a speccy then go for a 128 rather than the 48... no level loading and some background music from the advanced sound chip.

i had a 128k , i think my dad might still have it lol .
my husband used to crack games and sell em at primary school lol

It's the 48K or nothing for me.
My first computer - love at first site

Fair enough... I had the 128K which is why I suggested that one. What games other than Skool Daze and JSW are you interested in?
