Just downloaded the ridiculously stonking Jeff Minter games for the equally stonking, though slightly dated Vic-20 VICE emulator. Ancient computer heaven.

Prepare to be Gridzapped. Again.

Oooh, linky might be good please

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?

IZ.

Certainly ruffers....

http://www.viceteam.org/ for the emulator,

and http://www.llamasoft.co.uk/ for the games.

Oh and there's http://www.theoldcomputer.com/Libarary% ... ummary.htm for loads more games.

Mr Fiend - why, such a lovely doorstop you have there. Did you get it from IKEA?

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

Spent a good minute just staring at it until my addled memory dredged it up as to where it was from

And MF is right re: Commode v. Sinclair.

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

Hurrah for emulaters

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

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

I seem to remember MF saying he was working on something (very)similar to jet pac...any news ?

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

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