    did anybody own a spectrum?

    If so...I'd hazard a guess this will entertain you...

    Manic Miner is still one of my fave games of all time and I never managed to finish it once

    I dropped my speccy 128k yesterday, lol!

    The old games truly are the best - but I played the Atari ST mainly - the speccy was a tad before me.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Had a 'proper' Speccy, the rubber-keyed 48k version. The daddy of all Speccys.

    Dizzy, Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy, Movie, ah, quality days.

    Also the days of the games-you-can-never-finish.

    Lovely stuff.

    I don't remember finishing any spectrum game at all without a multiface! Maybe two or three on the Amiga, compared to most on the PC
