Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Just downloaded the ridiculously stonking Jeff Minter games for the equally stonking, though slightly dated Vic-20 VICE emulator. Ancient computer heaven. :notworthy: Prepare to be Gridzapped. Again. :twisted: 8)

But the Spectrum is far better than the Vic 20.

Oh my god it's 1983 all over again.

Like that's a bad thing?

Now I feel like I'm typing an optician's eye chart.

Is that mere humbleness, MF, or are you really fading into oblivion?

Just clicked onto another thread wot had a Planet Dave missive in it, and ended up having an 80's flashback when I saw the avatar :eek: Spent a good minute just staring at it until my addled memory dredged it up as to where it was from :lol:

And MF is right re: Commode v. Sinclair.

I laugh in the face of your "proper" keyboard and cartridge-based software :lol:

Hurrah for emulaters 8)
Why do keyboards get so dirty?

Not sure I'm happy about the Chief Judge laughing anywhere near my face. That can only end badly. :eek: :urff: :lol:

But definitely hurrah for emulators. I may have a speccie one, but solely for the multitude of Jet Set Willy games available. :notworthy: 8)

It was Manic Miner and it's been shelved for now until I get my boss off my back... :urff:

A bit of a cheek I feel, him expecting me to work.
