Hi all!

[VCS2600]

Hello there, nice to be here on the forum. I am an accountant, my first PC was an Atari 400 (with 48k pack) and I like to collect old game consoles.

Welcome to the fold!

Thanks for the welcome. Yes, those Sinclair ZX80/81, 48k Spectrum models were legendary. I remember the optional 5 1/4 inch disk drive for the Spectrum, and the membrane, rubber tablet keyboards.

My Dad got us a rubber key 48k in 1982-3 or thereabouts. Oh the hours I spent playing F1 and transformers when I was a kiddy.....

A few years ago my mate and I copied the tape of Horace Goes Skiing onto minidisc and tried to load it (onto his 128k, flash git) from there. It worked spot on.

Rich :¬)

One game that really stays in my mind for the Spectrum is Jet Set Willy, that would be one of the forerunners of the modern RPG.
