Still got that C64 somewhere at me mum's, and a Vic 20 I picked up later... And loads of cartridges...
As well as my Super Nintendo (only because I still play Zelda from time to time )
As for the spectrum, remember this routine:
1. Load tape
2. Put volume to 7
3. Press play
4. Have seizure due to screen colours and sound
5. Wait 15 minutes while the spectrum loads a crap picture
6. Wait another 20 minutes to load the game
7. Read the 'game not loaded' message
8. Adjust volume
9. press play
We've all been there.

Oh the great divides of preteen life, I was Commodore 64 rather than Speccy and Grifter rather than Chopper...

How skillful did you have to be to change the gears on the chopper!!CrazyHorse wrote:Me too. The grifter was great - the original BMX, brilliant in design except for the fact that it weighed more than a three bed semi.
I still carry the scars to this day

That was the colours of the twist grip gears wasn't it? Bloody hell, it's many years since I thought about that!
Everyone's always had a melted rear mudguard too where they were folded over to make them sound like a motorbike.
