I missed out on the original kickstarter so hoping to get on the 2nd kickstarter if and when that happens... I have to say that the Spectrum next keyboard looks awesome... beautiful looking bit of kit.

Had an Amiga A500 that would creak as my fan heater would heat my bedroom and cause the Amiga to crash loads! Annoying! Later got hold of an Amiga A1200

Can't pick just one so my 5 choiices (in no order) are.... Ultimate: Play the game Software Projects Codemasters Mastertronic Ocean

Sinclair ZX80 and Sinclair QL are machines i would of liked a dabble with.

https://youtu.be/Ie7GL3yL5yA Degsey Degworth talks about numbering in this YouTube video... Hope that helps.

I did'nt realise FF was back online WAC... learn something new each day!

Looking forward to seeing the gambling low ebbs video... from what i have read here and seen on other youtube videos there are some facinating stories around the subject, I have never been in the shoes of you guys though, I've always been just a casual player, I'm too tight with money to put loads in... i think my record amount i spent in an arcade in a day was £50 but that was a one off.... just a drop in the ocean compared to the true gamblers out there.

Cool... maybe i shall do that too... cheers A:E Thank you anyway, Vectra So it is looking like Photoshop is the way to go then... nobody has used Gimp for FME by look of it. Thank you all for your input!

Ok, thank you for your reply, A:E :)

Hi, does anyone else use Gimp to make DX's with or is Photoshop a must have? Have always fancied having a go, but don't want to pay for Photoshop as i don't know if i will ever actually be any good at it. I have no artistic skills for a start! I saw a Youtube video about Gimp 2.10.0 which has recently been released and the video was describing it as being pretty close to Photoshop... 10 years ago i made a bodged up classic layout of Daylight Robbery, and would like a dabble at layout creation again. Thank you in advance for any advice you may have. All the best, Gary.

So hard to pick!!! But here goes... and bet after i post there will be others pop in my head which i should of put instead! Sod's law, the list is in no order of preference apart from the number 1 spot which has to go to What a carry on, simply because as a casual gamer i love the fact it goes on the feature board so much.. to me it never mattered about winning money, it's all about the pleasure of playing the games, and listening to the sound package the machines had. 1) What a carry on (PCP) 2) Red hot rocks (QPS) 3) Andy Capp (Barcrest) 4) L of a day (Project) 5) Fairground (JPM) 6) Adders n ladders (Barcrest) 7) Terminator (JPM) 8} Line up (Barcrest) 9) Cash lab (QPS) 10) Fruit explosion (Maygay)

Saw this on Facebook and just thought I'd share it in case no one here knows about it.

Really enjoyed the Eastenders and Coronation street videos, Degsey... the Jackanory bit was a good listen too... at least you did'nt lose the last £20 and managed to win the love of Mrs Degsey!

That was my favourite part of the video... pissed meself laughing at Degsey going into meltdown on that bit! Luckily i wasn't eating at the time like Pook lol!

My first computer was a ZX Spectrum 48k rubber key affair... remember getting it christmas 1985.... had the keyboard upgraded in 1987 to the ZX Spectrum+ ... still own it to this day. Got to say Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy were favourite games of mine, best i did at Manic Miner was to get to "the warehouse" which is the 17th room out of 20. Played Bomb Jack loads too, and the puzzle game "Tilt" Also have to say i was rather impressed with the Speccy's conversion of Sega's Super Hang-on.
