I didn't know what Super Spy was, so I looked it up on Youtube, and I want to know why it was considered to be worth a whole pound more than JetPac and Cookie

Also I knew someone whose parents got them a BBC Electron. Their brother turned into a Tory later in life. I don't think the two events are related, but you never know

[dng]

definitely related

[vom]

my cousin had a BBC Micro and then his house got struck by lightning which blew up all of their electronic devices. they got an Acorn Archimedes from the insurance. I have fonder memories of both than my own C64 for whatever reason

Hehehehe!

Electron - Tory
Oric-1 - Reform UK
Dragon 32 - CPGB
Amstrad CPC - Liberal Democrats

My mate at school who had bbc was a massive Tory

[Pual]

That said it was south west Surrey so everyone else was too

[Pual]

In fact as it was the 1980s everybody voted Tory except for pop stars.

Who were probably too busy to own home computers

Vince 'Depeche Mode / Yazoo / Erasure' Clarke used a BBC Model B as a sequencer, which is why all his songs were under three minutes in length!!!!!!!!111111111111111111

If he'd used a Commodore 64, instead, Erasure would've sounded like ELP!

[dng]

streets of rage 2 - for some reason i'd never played this before. it might be the most final fight a game could be. also: best music ever

[endar]

Music = yes

this one could be straight off some lost early orbital 12 inch

ves

[dng]

hooray. later on there's one that's just the shamen. not even like the shamen, it's just exactly a shamen song

[dng]

its a long time since i thought about the shamen

[endar]

move any mountain

[dng]

ha, yes, i think so

[blombluss]

its a long time since i thought about the shamen

Same 'ere, and I've got two of their LP/EPs, an' all! (In Gorbachev We Trust - very good / Phorward - also very good)

[richschnauzer]

amazing stuff

[blombluss]

Agreed. A most enjoyable watch.

Cor! I didn't know you could utilise HAM mode on the Amiga to create stuff like this:

The 400 Mini console

That is SO cute!

That classic joystick is right handed apartheid, though.

[dng]

hooray. my ps4 has just crashed and broken and corrupted itself somehow

[dng]

that'll teach me to spend all of january playing final fantasy 8 instead of doing anything at all useful with my life

[dng]

hopefully i'll be able to reinstall the operating system and everything will be okay but in typical sony fashion downloading the 500MB install file from their servers is taking about 2 hours

[dng]

well, at least reinstallation seems to have worked. still, that's at least 6 years of precious game saves lost forever. shite

[dng]

all those seven billion planets i'd been to in no man's sky, lost forever

[endar]

that happened to mine once. The worst loss was my Dirt Rally save where i had progressed to the elite league some 5 tiers up from rookie, which i have still not re-progressed from sadfacefeelsbadman

[dng]

weep

and yet last year when my brother gave me his old n64 the saves still worked in perfect dark and mario kart and everything

[dng]

i wonder if my old ps1 memory cards still work

[dng]

like relics from some long dead civilisation

[blombluss]

Everything should be stored on TDK D90 tapes, and then all would be well.

Dear freiends

please watch what is possibly the most amazing game ever made, for laseractive, which has yet to be emulated.

At least watch the first 4 or 5 minutes, to be absolutely entranced by the superb acting, makeup and japanese written script, which they were probably told under no circumstances could they deviate from it.

[blombluss]

This is... oh my God...

This needs a proper viewing!

[blombluss]

That chap playing the long haired scientist... he's incredible!

[endar]

isn't he just.

Quickly Catherine! The Alpha Ozone, it's gone! The international... clean air conference...

I'm so old now (doesn't know what to do with his hands)

I love the way Catherine says "I will!" and also her very helpful policeman dad with the big flag so you know where they are

[blombluss]

I don't know why that flag makes me laug, but it really does!

[blombluss]

So based on what I've read on RLLMUK... are Mircosoft leaving the console hardware business, causing Sony and Nintendo to laug and laug?

[dng]

microsoft done a poo

A 1983 voice activated game that didn't need any dongles or owt to work, onna Spectrum!

Read the VOICE ACTIVATION bit of the instructions - I love clever, if rather clunky, solutions like that!

If not, it should be an easily replaceable CR2032 watch-type battery, at least
