    End of the 8-bit Era

    you needn't of worried, when you started seeing these ads in 1985 the 8bits still had nearly 10 years of life left in them before obsolete!
  2. the rubber key speccy lol could you just simply bang one of them DKtronics memory packs on the back and run all the 48k games?
  3. wow yes i remember that line of computers it was the 400/600/800 XE/XL wasnt it, i never owned one i had an amstrad but i do remember these well, did you move on to making stuff for the ST when it came out?
  4. blimey i had this for the amstrad it was great think it was by codemasters, the other fruitmachine game i had actually came free with the computer and was a complete bag of shit lol
  5. I had a cpc464 as a kid and after reading those names i can remember now for a fact that both hubbard and whittaker made the best music on some of the games for this machine by a country mile they could work wonders with that crappy AY sound chip
  6. yes being an amstrad cpc 464 owner i hate to admit the C64 was an all round better machine especially were the sound chip is concerned, thats not half bad for the speccy though is it lol
  7. bit of a mixed bag for me addiction and profession if i am honest, did you do the 10p collect trick on the 777heavens & jackpot7s and if so did you ever go to rhyl in north wales doing them?
  8. exactly the same as you mate, done everything or 99% of stuff anyway from about 1991/92 onwards to the present day and again same as you i love the emulators and the nostalgia also especially the early to mid 90s, i may of bumped into you somewere back in the day i would mainly graft around the wirral and chester and the north wales coast
  9. very very interesting and i thought i knew all there was to know back in 1992 lol, which areas were you working back then?
  10. wow i never knew that , i used to play eighth wonder back in the day just for a streak if it was backing, i was emptying cloud9 and blue moon though via the plug, did your credits trick work on these aswel?
  11. by flicky roms do you mean the second program they brought out which recognised the lines but could still be zapped or plugged
  12. my very first PROPER trick i ever did, love it, i am not going to count 777heaven because any old ape could do that, wonder if anybody has a picture and the roms for the exact clone of this called 'pound for pound'
  13. must be an even earlier chip for this because we had a few we would just force it up for cashpot which was free then just take the gamble out afterwards, that should be pissing out the amount of doe thats gone in, something not right..
