"Still got mine although it no longer works but over xmas im going to be looking at getting a emulator for the c64 and amiga" For a commodore 64 emulator, the best one to get by far is "WinVICE" (it's a free download for Windows, Mac etc). The c64 mini/maxi which was released a few years ago also uses winvice for its emulation, as does "c64 emu" Android app, although I think the android app costs about £5. With the Amiga, you probably want to use "WinUAE" which is also a free Windows download, but it can be quite confusing to use if you're not used to using emulators. I believe an Amiga Mini console (similar to the c64 mini) has been released in the past year, so that may be more accessible to those who don't have much experience using emulation, but obviously those c64/amiga mini console devices cost considerably more than the phone apps. | |||

"Ground breaking in computer games in the 80s. Got ours from Woolworths on the never never. One of our 1st games was Mr Wimpy. Paid about £240 in 1984 for it. " £240 back then was a lot of money when you think about it. | |||

Paid about £240 in 1984 for it. £240 back then was a lot of money when you think about it." especially when you realise what a heap of crap they all were. Luckily for me I 'sat out' that phase of technology, largely due to the fact that I have never had the slightest interest in games of any sort. later, I entered the already well established PC era with a series of 'hand me downs'. This happy situation continues and I now have more than I know what to do with. Much the same with phones. | |||

"Thanks for that didnt know which c64 emulator to use, with the amiga ive downloaded fs-uae as its more game orientated think i need to purchase the kickstart roms from amigaforever then the games can be downloaded free i think" Don't purchase anything! If you "expand" your googling you can find the all the kickstart ROMS online for free. There's currently some weird licensing issue with the kickstart roms, with the current copyright holders (who are not the original developers BTW) really squeezing every last penny out of owning them. I think it's slightly unethical what they're doing. | |||

" Binatone Spectrum, Pacman, Commodore ZX-81, Donkey Kong, fucking high score Push it to the limit, couldn't push it any more Wanna be a fucking robot after smoking loads of draw Bought a speak and spell, stuck it to my chest And wrap some fucking tinfoil to my head and to my vest Walking down the street, my next door neighbors not impressed I'm a robot and buying ten fags is my quest Eggsie's gone too far, he thinks he's Robocop He's covered in tinfoil and he's got matching metal socks We tried to sedate him but he fucking escaped The man robot myth starts to escalate He tries to sell himself standing in curries But if the police turn up, he runs in a fucking hurry He tries to plug himself in the mains with his nob And when he's fully recharged he goes out on the rob Half man, half machine What does it mean? What does it mean? Half man, half machine What does it mean? What does it mean? Being a robot in my digital domain Enter my world, feel my pain I'm not like other people you might see or you might know I made love to a BBC micro Touching on the disk drive, the monitor got hot I knew from then, I was a motherfucking robot Bill Gates from Microsoft, Stephen Hawking's voice And fucking Lara Croft I built a lab, secret in my loft And built a special costume that would help me to jack off I sat there in front of the screen For many years, this had been my wet dream Now I've reached it, I'm finally there Like Terminator being filmed in Aberdare So alone, when people stop and stare Like C3PO but with pubes and hair Robot Love Robot Robotic break dancing Robot The doctors found a nut They said he was an head case 'cause he sticks silver and cans on his face Sucking off antennas and trying to fuck the fridge And burnt his pubic wig, with the high voltage I am a robot My prime directive is to's go to's the shops And buy's ten fags Do's you's compute? He wants to buy ten fags, his destination is the shops A tinfoil suit and a hat like Robocop If your ask him then he'll do a body pop Like Terminator, yeah he just won't stop Put electrical cable down through the eye of his cock Plugged it in the wall and gave himself a big shock The reason that he did it wasn't to give himself pain Watching Terminator over again and again Fuck man, get him, fucking restrain him man Get him fucking, fucking get him down man Inject him man, get him down He's fucking nuts man and he's losing it Help me man, just get him fucking Half man, half machine What does it mean? What does it mean? Half man, half machine What does it mean? What does it mean? Half man, half machine What does it mean? What does it mean? Half man, half machine What does it mean? What does it mean?" Wow. John Cooper Clarke eat your heart out! | |||

"I had the zx spectrum " That was my first experience. My brother is 7 years older than me and had one. I remember waiting for him to loads games on there. I seem to remember as a 6 year old each game took approximately 2.5 years to load. | |||
if only we got them all now | |||

"For the Speccy owners here.... BluuuuuuurrrrrrBlip! BlurrrrrrrrrrrrBibbbbbllllllleeeeeiiiibbbllleeeebbbllleeeee MaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwYup! "The sound of a Spectrum loading in a game was used as background computer noise in Star Trek IV. Nothing spoils the mood after dangerously sling-shoting around the sun and emerging from time-warp than the sound of an 80s computer loading. | |||
