OT: True Randomness

Here boy, here -

Pah, I've got a real Spectrum stuffed in a cupboard to play with.. It's a +3 though, with knackered drive, and there's a bit of a fault on the PSU wires...

Gave/ long term loaned a friend a +2 as well (not +2A!), had tremendous fun remembering how naff Ghostbusters was on it a few weeks ago :)

Ah - the Spectrum +2 - those were the days - go out and have a game of football, then have some tea, and the game would be just about loaded!

Peter

Aye - it was good to see your back.

Now that is class, not an element of frenchness, or clapped outness. Well done that Dan.

A decent working specky emulator? I've had all sorts of problems with them in the past normally they run with no speed control for some reason. (A 2Ghz P4 Spectrum is rather hard to play.) I'm also still looking for a PC keyboard made of that rubber Sinclair used.

A Clio? A CLIO? A man of your financial standing, and you got some nasty plasticky French 'appliance'? Good grief. A Kia Rio makes more sense.

Still.

Not even a stale old french loaf.

Not really.

Cool, Chuckie Egg rocks quite. They do actually do a PC version as well you know tho...

That's the spirit. You're learning at last :)

Yeah, those tape drives prevented fickle playing. You couldn't just 'have a quick go'...

Forbidden Forest on the C64 had no hyperloader; took over 16 minutes to load from tape...

it was ninja star or gaiden or summat and jetpac for me, jetpac owned

You think?

Oh aye indeed. This is mainly because I've a website to run, and there aren't enough days in the week, so it seems.

Oh and have actually been modding the Ka rather than simply discussing it.... :)

"Renault" Clio? Given up on expensive to run cars? Not a new one, then?

I'm still looking for a copy of Granny's Garden :)

err I think I'll leave granny's bush all to you, btw what did u think of that 600 pic i sent you

Heh, 'phat' dude :)

Couldn't work out why you chopped my exhaust in half tho, is it a sculpted shape thingy that's currently in fashion or something ?

Daddy cut back on the allowance?

Steve.

I never understood why when the BBC had a remote to control the tape, the Speccy didn't, even when the drive was built in!

Made leaving a multi load game loading while I went off to get a drink or whatever a bit of a pain

can you remember what tree it was though?

it just came out like that after i did the rest, I never got round to sorting it out.
