Mouthful of skittles
, only good thing about having kids , endless sugar. I find Haribo have kinda ruined sweets , trust me , ive tried them all . I remember when cola bottles tasted awsome , if you ate too many , ya mouth bled . the haribo cola bottle is tepid , they pack them in plastic wrap , with other flavour sweets !!! , they all taste the same . Need to have jars , dont mix the flavours , because bottom of the jar , cola bottles from the 1990 OMG , pile that sugar on , use it like a spoon

What about eating Chips out of newspaper with a wooden fork and trying to read the paper as your eating your chips. I always though they tasted nicer in newspaper.
Certainly couldnt get away with that now , not so many papers about now too
, youd have to google the news on ya phone and use it as a plate potentialy use a stylus as a fork

Yeah brilliant stuff. Me my mate used to hack around with Match Day II, we had it so the ball could go crazy high. The players didn't know what to do. Some fun times. Like you say, instant save, we used to save to the amazing Wafadrive. What a brilliant bit of kit that was. I think you could get 64k ones and I'm pretty sure 128kb ones too. Amazing times being a teenager in the 80's, really was.
I remember in 1988 getting a 1541C for my Commodore 64, I was buzzing. It was pretty boring compared to the Wafadrive and the Multiface One combo. Essential bit of kit for any Spectrum user.
J
Any sign of multiface options on an emu ? , Downloaded the tosec spectrum collection , and using , a fuse emulator .

Hi all,
found this a while back and if you're anything like me who is someone who got into video games way back when Taito and or Midway released Space invaders then you might like this
just thought I'd let you all know, if you don't already, of a pretty cool Outrun remake or enhanced version called
CannonBall - The Enhanced OutRun Engine
and for those of you who even fancy creating your own tracks there's also a program called Layout
here are the links :-
https://github.com/djyt/cannonball/wiki/Cannonball-Manual
https://github.com/djyt/layout/wiki
http://reassembler.blogspot.co.uk/p/cannonball-open-source-outrun-engine.html
now i can't provide the roms needed for obvious reasons but I'm sure you would be able to find them.
I think it's the usual press 5 for credit, 1 for start etc your typical mame affair oh and a neat feature now incorporated is to change the view to a slightly higher vantage point by pressing left shift. Anyway it's all explained what you have to do on the websites above.
sorry dude , totally side swiped your point
, trying your outrun , but pc being dumb , my fault played with vpn's and hide ip , and boned the system , got russian adverts coming up , and a lot of boob pictures jumping at me , but im sure theres more trouble coming . i turned virus protection and went nutz barebacked , i got pc aids

These were two of my favourite add ons I had for my Spectrum 48k
Multiface One (Romantic Robot)
WafaDrive (Rotronics)
My mate had a 'Video Face', think that was Romantic Robot as well, he could grab digitized video stills from a video source and print them to his thermal printer
Hi , i had a multiface 3 , not sure how it ran on a 48k . On a +3 the multiface gave you the power of god (almost) , save any game , at any point , straight to disc !!! . Using the instant save and load from save point option , i took IK+ to an insane level
, the multiface was essential , i recall goading my mum to buy me a 45 quid multiface , i will tidy my room everyday , wash up everyday , soooooo many broken promises , WORTH IT

Tennant ,Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi were all fairly good as the Dr I thought but I had to clean my ears when someone said the new Dr was a woman (I dont care if the PC brigade dont like my comment) as the Dr should be a man the world has gone mad PC tree hugging lefties all over the place (ghostbusters with women Oceans 8 with women ) NO NO NO it's not big and it's not clever
Been watching the new Mrs who show
. Its not that bad , all i can say is , my 8 year daughter watches it now , and holds me hand in the scary bits . Yeah it has gone pc , and tries too hard to please our multiracial country but , i put it down to manners , and i guess manners cost nothing . Tenant blew me away as the doctor . But if you think about why are just redoing stuff from the past ? im pretty sure people still write , great stories , new and fresh . I guess it shows we all get a kick out of retro , reminds us of our youth and at the same time , it becomes part of the youth today , those walking,talking things we made , since we were sitting watching dr who waiting for mums to make dinner ? , ya get me ? .

Hi Hi , I loved the megadrive , never owned one but my mother rented one at christmas from the video shop ( oh how times have changed ) . When i first played altered beast i was well impressed , closest i had ever seen to a coin op on a tv , the sound and the graphics were awsome . The games i tried were , Ghouls and ghost , and my favorite , mickey mouse castle of illusion . If you throw sonic in , and strider , it was one of the finest home entertainment systems .

Yes the Amiga had some great tunes, including some great demos with tunes on them. The Turrican game series, had some of the most memorable sound, right from the welcome to turrican speech. The music really helped spur you on, particularly some of the sections where you were in the air a lot. I seem to remember in some sections of levels on Turrican 2 or 3, it turned into a horizontal shoot em up.
Interesting, to hear about the cards for TV. Think a lot of the dodgy sky stuff, still comes from Ireland. Been in a few pubs, that have some sort of satellite set up coming from Ireland (you can tell by the ads all being irish and prices in euros etc...)
I never had TV on the computer, until those WINTV Hauppauge cards, came out for PC.
The flying bit was awsome , too intense to fully appriciate the great tune , Never mentioned this before , but i was a guitarist , in a red hot chilli , tribute band in devon for 10 years , played birdmans , and all sorts but i want to say this , my whole life , good music has always been a need , it has a feel , a clairvoyance . I stongly believe , fools gold by the roses could make walking the green mile , seem cool
. I think the amiga really pulled me in with its sound , especialy demo's , and the cracked games that had a thumping while it told you who cracked it , and what to press for infinte lives and start level . To me the amiga must,ave had an orchestra in it , we hear the echos in modern music of some of the great tunes from the past .
-
The amiga had some great tunes , Turrican 2 had a awsome music score , now this is going on memory but i think the amiga had 4 channel sound , and it rocked . Im going to have the turrican music in head all day now ,
good day

I wanted all the ones that never were released. The Sinclair Loki, the C65, and the Konix. All 3 were superb in their own ways. C65 there's a LLE but of course no software apart from basic stuff. Konix, there's a cracking emulator for it, HLE, but not much available, even LN2 is brilliant, I've seen and heard it, but the person who has the dev disks won't release it for fear off being sued by John Twiddy! (30 years on, I've told him, I doubt System 3 care anymore ). Loki, nothing exists. Lookwise it came out as the +2, but that's all. The hardware was improved and used in the Konix!
Real computers, I had them all at their peak. Spectrum 82-86, C64 83-88, ST 87-89, Amiga 87-92. Not bothered about the consoles.
Used to have a massive retro collection. sp 48, sp 128, +2, +3. C64, c64c, c128d, cpc6128, st, amiga etc, all modded with sd drives, flogged the lot when I had to for financial reasons and now have every 8 and 16bit computer on a FPGA. Switch from Jupiter Ace to Amiga at the touch of a button etc.
NQ.
Thats a sweet résumé NQ , My old dears didnt take to the new tech well , their view were tvs were bad , hence computer games were like crack to kids , remember when people knew exactly how many hours of tv they watched , and boasted low hours . You mentioned some stuff im going to google
, loki ? . been playing a wow action max emu , its a console that runs alongside a vhs , its got a great blue thunder game .

I recall many games needed a responsive angle ? up and left or up and right , many a platform needed a perfectly timed leap . The micro switch sticks were great for that , my pet hate was the sinclair sjs joystick , army moves plus a sjs joystick could make me go all ' office space' on a spectrum
