Tired of chucking cookies

[CrazyHorse]

I once spent about two hours typing in a program from my Commodore 64 manual to make it play Michael Row The Boat Ashore. It sounded like a cheap doorbell.

Still got that C64 somewhere at me mum's, and a Vic 20 I picked up later... And loads of cartridges...

I've actually still got my Spectrum in the loft

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.

I remember doing exactly the same thing, it was a bag of shite wasn't it?

I wondered if anyone else would remember that!

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

Sounds like we were travelling the same road, in different dimentions

Chopper

Spectrum

Navada

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.

How skillful did you have to be to change the gears on the chopper!!

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.

But I could still jump 15 kids lay side-by-side on mine using the ramp my dad made for my evel knievel.
