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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene02 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene02 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 The Expert cartridge was updated to the Action Replay I believe, or at least both were from a company called 'Trilogic'. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Sevens Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 This was an out run cab the boss didn't want to spend a load of money on a new crt so I made a frame and fitted a paragon quize machine monitor and blacked the glass on inside. Changed the screen settings and it looked great. Still working today. Might be worth a bit if they had spent a bit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
