Last ninja - now you're talking.

Anyone remember the old Kempston joystick interface for the speccy? Shove it in and go - no drivers or crap like that to load like we do these days on the PC.

Lords of Midnight has actually been converted to the PC somewhere on the Net. You can also get Chuckie Egg!

There's an underground bunch of coders who are actively converting old speccy and c64 classics to run on the PC!

Anyone remember Skool Daze ?

-DV

ROFL skooldaze!

"Sir I cannot tell a lie, but ~~~@@~''' has just done #'#'#'"

how fcuking annoying, but good as well

I loved Elite, awesome game.

Now I would be interested in finding lords of midnight, that would be coooooool

robski

Skool Daze - what a classic!

Wasn't there a follow up called something like Back to Skool?

Yeah, didn't last long after playing Daley Thompson's Decathalon, ripped the stick off after the 1500m cycle race. Exhausting all that wrist action http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

been playing that Elite-the new kind http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/cool.gif this week, work has been much more enjoyable...its fun dealing with narcotics on the side http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/flowerface.gif

name some top tunes, cant think at the mo, hang on what about starglider 128K, ah its all coming back.

Who remembers the cartridge based Text Adventures for the VIC20 - Pirates Cove etc, we had several and it took MONTHS to finish them.

Yeah, StarGlider - the first game that used a 'real' person's voice in the music.

'Starglider...by Rainbird, Rainbird, Rainbird' - all together now!

Remember bugging the author of the game on his Prestel account asking for more lives, weapons, etc... when I was 10

Talking of Prestel, did anyone have a Prestel account / Micronet 800 account back the days of yore with their speccy or bbc'b ?

I had a Miracle technologies WS2000 modem, which ran at 1200/75 baud or 300/300!

Mmmm. Anyone remember StarGlider? On the 128 version it had superb sound - just a shame it took 14 minutes to load from tape! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

I actually sold a loading screen for Jetman III (one of the Jetpac series) to Ultimate, but they never used it. I was 10 at the time - my first contract. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
