thealteredemu Posted May 4, 2024 Report Share Posted May 4, 2024 Yeah, I was going to say. Most of my games were pirated and passed round school so I've played a shit ton of games but not always a clue how to play them. I think pirating games when you was a kid in the 80's was part of the computer scene in general, I almost enjoyed that part compared to actually playing the games.

As I said in another recent thread I ended up being one of the main people copying spectrum games at school by accident, was never my intention. As a consequence I rarely got the chance to actually play them. Your box will be CASHPOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altharic Posted May 4, 2024 Report Share Posted May 4, 2024 Had a few games of this today I think I prefer the C64 version although the animation of the speccy one was impressive for the hardware 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
