Who is old enough to remember putting coins in as a kid to play outrun or operation wolf.
These are fond memories of my child hood with my dad in Spain.
At home it was more zx spectrum then the Commodore 64.
Now reliving the old memories at home with a retropi |

"Chucky Egg on the Amstrad CPC464 was my favorite.."
Played Chucky egg on the internet few months back. I think its public domain now.
Still great and only half remembering the puzzles made it a lot of fun. xx |

One day I want a arcade cabinet to put my retropi in at the moment I have about 11,000 games from 70s,80s and 90s arcade games to nintendo game boy, snes, sega and the megadrive plus zx and c64 amstrad. Also the old game & watch ..and some other machines. Nice little hobby  |

"What a commadore64. Spent hours typing in a programme just to see a frog jump across a screen or an air balloon "
Commodore 64 was a lot better then the old spectrum that one you needed the volume to be right if not you have to try it again. |

They look great just don't have the room as the upright arcade machine takes up less space |

I did that on my Spectrum. Put me off programming for about 20 years. |

I have a spectrum, commodore vic 20 and a commodore 64, all working and with a few games. There is also a few sites where you can download all the old games and play them on emulators or I think you can turn them into wav files and play them on the original machines |
