Yeah i already saw that one - they end up going for daft prices tho lol
Thanks anyway

I had a go at my dad who sells on Ebay sometimes...
Over the last 2 weeks he has picked up 2 speccys for £4 and £5 from a car boot!

He never knew i wanted one until he told me that he got about £50 and £60 quid for them on Ebay

I have a Commodore 64 which I can still remember getting. It was supposed to be a Spectrum but the catalogue sent the wrong one and my parents decided to keep the Commodore despite the fact it was more expensive. I was thinking of selling it but don't think I will now.

And paperboy is a good game But it was an arcade game first (remember playing it in Blackpool).

Yeah, i remember it in the arcades but, then my fav arcade machine was GORF ! ahh... good times!!

You can get a spectrum emaulator for the PC and download about 99% of the games for free... some of them are still very good, others haven't stood the test of time well.

[Mak]

Yeah, iv'e done that before and may do it again but, for me it was the actual messing about with the spectrum, hacking and poking and all the other things that came with owning a console lol!
Still, i might have a go at the emulator again thanks


btw, can anyone recommend one of the better speccy emulators as there are so many to choose from ?

[dav2612]

I think you can tinker with the code in some of the emaulators, could be wrong though... of course you don't get that lovely loading sound with an emulator.

[Mak]

That was a beautiful sound and having to tweak it with a screwdriver on loading lol - Bliss (and sad i suppose lol)

[dav2612]

I always remember looking forward to seeing what the loading screen was like on my new games and then the disappointment as the game crashed when the loading counter got to 1 second left... kids these days with 360s and PS3's have mised a golden era.

[Mak]

They sure have! also getting games c()pi3d tape by tape was cool as well.

Did you get any of the magazines?
Crash and was My Spectrum or something?

[dav2612]

I used to get Crash and also Your Sinclair I think, there was one that had a demo take each month. £1.99 could buy you a decent game in those days.

Or was it Your Spectrum? nah you might be right on that one!
Damn, i can't wait for one so i'm off to find an emulator now and get myself skool daze or JSW loaded up !

World of Spectrum looks good to start off with

[dav2612]

The one I have is called Spectculator or something like that. The World of Spectrum website has all the emulators and games. None of the Sega or Codemasters games can be downloaded but JSW and Skool Daze are there... enjoy.

[Mak]

Cool, i'll have a look for it
Thx again!
