Reg Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 USE THIS THREAD TO SHOW OFF YOUR LATEST GOODIES ! --- I'll go first. So... not strictly brought today - but arrived today. This is a digital tape recorder that works off SD card for when my Spectrum Next arrives. A spectrum game is placed next to it for size. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reg Posted October 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Casette 50 seemed to be on sale forever - there was a reason it was cheap and "value" for money. This is the bastard thing that should have never existed... Kid - I want a new game. Parents - No way in hell - you've got 50 games you've clearly not played them all. These were the same kind of parents that would buy you ONE Stormtrooper for your Star Wars figures and NO MORE as you already had that figure - missing the point totally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pook Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I have a vivid memory of helping my Dad fit our kitchen in our old house, spent all weekend helping him by 'holding' things while he cut or screwed them. My treat was a game of my choice. Fully how nostalgic games are linked to other memories of family and simpler times I chose well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene02 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Ha ha, I remember playing this one cold winters evening on my friends Spectrum... Could have been yesterday, I remember afterwards we played out in the snow. I distinctly remember it being just after Christmas cause I’d got a ZX Spectrum + my dad took me and my friend to boots in town to get a game, it was Dec 27th 1985, the roads were treacherous I remember our car spinning on the ice. I got Rambo, my friend got Commando. We seemed to be in there for hours. Great times and memories. J 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatdad Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 i remember either sinclair user or your sinclair having a feature about how the 48k speccy had the same insides as the 128k speccy and all the diffince was is a small program to tell it to run in 128k mode.. it had a program printed on the page that you could manualy type in and change the 48 speccy to 128... i sat there with my girlfriend typen in the code and we where both excited checking every line of code before pressing enter.. when i did the screen turned black then white and april fool scrowled up the screen..... they got us good.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reg Posted November 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I think I had that calc once. That is not a bad buy - bootfairs are brilliant - one persons rubbish is another persons treasure. Out of interest - is this not the off season for car boot fairs ? All the ones near me are closed until March / April and then they kick in again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
