old school computing....
 

for those that remember, this is class:

Shame some of the games shown are for the 48k model! I don't need to remember too much, have 6 of them at home ;)

what you breeding them or something steven?

I had 3/4 and just got rid of all my old stuff cos it was taking up too much room and besides its easier emulated!

I'm waiting until I have a mint 16k with grey keys, 16k blue keys, 48k, 48+, 128+ and +3, then I'll sell the surplus. I almost have a mint collection of Ultimate games, just missing Bubbler. Have a Kempston mouse though, they are quite rare these days. Even the microdrives and cartridges still work ;)

Not got a +2?

I've got a Datel +D printer / FDD interface (for the +2) somewhere...

Microdrives :o those things only lasted months from new, how have u managed that?

All these 16k, 48k speccies pffft, zx80/81 with 16K ram expansion pack, thats where its at!

I don't like the +2, wouldn't mind a black +2A perhaps but the +2 smells. 128+ is my favourite one.

My microdrive and carts have been safely locked away all these years. I got a load of kit out a few weeks ago; 128+, RGB monitor, Interface I, two microdrives, 20-odd carts, Multiface 128 and RAM Turbo joystick interface, plugged it all in and it all still works perfectly. 45 seconds later I'd loaded up Knight Lore from microdrive ;)

Actually if anyone has anything I might buy it. Already have a ZX80 though :)

omg superb memories coming back now, do u remember alien8, jet set willy series, manic miner!, jetpac, then later on the 3d games like head over heels, batman etc. Actually one of my favs was Lotus Esprit challenge. My god I spent days playing those games.

Nodes of Yesod! :D

That brought back memories :) I think I actually had every game featured :D :D The hours spent playing Elite and Jetpac :)

steven,

selling some junk at the moment :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...ESSE%3AIT&rd=1 check out my other items on there as well, the zx81 doesnt work, last time I fired it up I did, not sure if its the power supply or not, not normally much goes wrong with the old '81.

cheers

Gary

just had a go again on 128+3 Basic :D hehehe still remember it :D

also Elite & Jetpac :D so who went all the way to the end only to find out it repeats itself... :rolleyes: (btw takes afew hours as you cant save it)

Enduro Racer was cool! (first one)
Turbo Esprit was great, 90deg turns.
Rememer Yesod, still got the manual somewhere...
I loved Rex, Manic Miner and Jet Pac.
Still got my Spectrum+ somewhere, probably with a dead powerpack, god they stank when they blew!
I had a CD full of Codemasters games once, loading from your CD drive on a spectrum in treble quick time! The only one I can remember was some Jet ski racer that was a bit like Super Sprint in the arcades....

6031769 was the hold down code for manic miner :eek:

god I remember that!
slartybartfast did something too but forgotten what now, was one for infinite lives and the other to access any level.... ;)

manic miner is the greatest game of *all* time IMHO! never got past level 16, return of the wacky amoebatrons (sp?) or something like that! JSW was good but not as got as MM and yes the old ultimate stuff like Jetpac, Sabre Wulf, Atic Atac were just ace, ahhhh they dont make em like they used to do they!
