It's not straight forward... Its also what happens when you buy a game and have no instructions included for a pound pre internet days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thealteredemu Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 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.

Oh yeah, you can't beat a bit of tape pirating!

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 Report Share Posted May 4 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...
