I assume from the fact that you are readingthis hat you know what the title means.

To those who dont, this an icon game from when I was young and had to load games on my bbc b using an audio cassette.

I now have a copy that loads instantly on the pc and is emailable.

If anyone wants this, it is a great excuse for wasting time at work.

Relpy to this if you want a copy and I will do a block send of the game.

don't suppose you've got a copy for the macintosh http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

I'm currentley sitting here playing Pokemon blue courtesy of the virtual gameboy software on my mac.

As Tori Amos said "it's bitchin' what the things can do"

Adam,
Cool, send me a copy ASAP http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif.

Thanks

Luke

You should try this JAVA spectrum Emulator.

I believe that it has Chuckie Egg included in it's list of games. It's kept me busy at work a few times, but I find it a little slow.

If you have a mac then check out

Did you have to talk your dad into getting the disk drive for the bbc b too Adam? When I did I could play tunes and play the game - what a step foward http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

I was quite good at Chuckie as I remember.

Adam,

I'd like a copy too please. Mail address as per my profile.

I used to be very good at this.. a two player game once lasted eight hours http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif.

About to get very, very off-topic here, but seeing as we are talking about reliving our misspent youth, has anyone checked out MAME? I had about 100 classic arcade games from the mid '80s... The ROMS are almost always under 32k in size http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif, so you can collect loads. there are loads of fan sites on the net - unfortunatly davesclassics.com seems to have died http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif

There is also a nifty freeware spectrum emulator for the Psion series 5, and there are over 6000 game images on the net. surf to

Could I have a copy as well please.

Can I have a copy please.

Thanks

Toby

Yes please - for the kids you understand......

One mine!!

You weren't my long lost childhood friend were you??

..Ian.

This may help!..sorry

CROYDSUTTON@AOL.COM

..Ian.

I have sent out the first batch, if any one else wants, I will wait for them to accumulate till it stops then do it again.

Alex, I realise that your email address is in your profile, but that means for each person I have to open and close a third window, then cut and paste accross to my email. It was supposed to be easier for me if you just write it, but its done now anyway.

Same goes for you moray and others.

Sorry Ian, mail delivery will not allow you to get the file through email.

Anyone got ManicMiner or Jet Set Willy??

Sunil,

You will need an emulator for your PC or MAC - download one from here:

Cooo... My boss programmed chuckie egg..

He started this company with a Princes Trust grant and is now worth squillions!

And me : nick_martin57@yahoo.com

Cheers.

Adam,

I'd love a copy, had it on the rubber keyed spectrum 48. I was devistated when i lost it...scarred for life. Did anyone finish Atic Atac? I got the 3 keys and back to the main door but could'nt get out, thats tormented me as well.

Email: steve.pipe@tesco.net


Sad Steve

If any of you want detailed instructions on how to setup MAME on your PC i will happily post it here.

I now have Asteroids, space invaders. galaxians, moon cresta etc on my pc.

There are loads of others and it is identical to the original arcade games, he he, i am 15 again http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

John,

can you please send instructions on how to set-up MAME. I was never too keen on Chuckie Egg, but Galaxian and Asteroids are different http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
