Speaking of the old faithfull Speccy - if anyone has favourite games that they remember, most of them are now available to play online through an internet browser - my favourite game ever is still going and has been taken on as a freeware project, Chaos Battle of the Wizards - best game ever! |
Omg
hehehehe, my dad still has the spectrum 48k rubber keys [i hope he does hehe] & we had the 128k with tape deck tho given away to a relative i think. Tho to my pleasure the psp has a compilation games of the th'owd spectrum, which my daughter got for xmas [tho i played on it more hahaha] which has river raid & river raid 2.... i used to be good at that one tho a lot easier with a joy stick as a fair few other games, i soon remembered how cool they were, tho without the fun of the screeching tape loading that took upto 20mins & a pain at last min for failing to load after all that hehehe.
My other favs sadly not on that compilation was jet set willy, manic minor & paperboy, paperboy being my fav for trashing a few windows ..... would love another go tho havent found it on the net yet.
Still cant beat the orange atari game of tennis tho
[wonder if that is still in me dads collection somewhere
