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

Posted: **Tue Dec 12, 2023 12:53 pm**

definitely related

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

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

My mate at school who had bbc was a massive Tory

Posted: **Tue Dec 12, 2023 5:46 pm**

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

Posted: **Tue Dec 12, 2023 5:50 pm**

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

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!

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

Posted: **Sun Jan 21, 2024 7:30 pm**

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

Posted: **Sun Jan 21, 2024 8:18 pm**

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

Posted: **Sun Jan 21, 2024 8:21 pm**

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

Posted: **Sun Jan 21, 2024 8:29 pm**

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

Posted: **Sun Jan 21, 2024 8:31 pm**

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

Posted: **Sun Jan 21, 2024 8:31 pm**

i wonder if my old ps1 memory cards still work

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.

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

Posted: **Sat Feb 03, 2024 12:33 pm**

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

Posted: **Tue Feb 06, 2024 8:15 pm**

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

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!
