Spec it out
Back in the day there was nothing better than getting in from school…loading up a spectrum game while you did your homework (more than enough time). On a recent loft jaunt at my folks house I found a load of my spectrum games all boxed, some with prices on them. night shift £15 from boots. £15! for a cassette…I kept everything including the spectrum box manuals, same for everything I owned Atari ste, philips cdi, atari 7800, atari jaguar and a snes…They’re up there somewhere…thank god my folks don’t know how to use Ebay. Anyway to the point I stumbled over this…unbelievable.

Man, there was nothing more annoying than if you loaded up a game while you were having your tea and then you came back to find it hadn’t worked.
Rage!

That is an incredible website! Well played in finding it. Just had a quick game of rainbow island as a taster between my marking but I shall be back on soon to play again. I myself was a C64 individual. Top class.

What I liked, was when you loaded one side of the tape then the game gave you the option to play the first half now…OR turn the tape over and load it ALL in. From experience NO game ever loaded in the second half.

Awwww, I’m feeling nostaglic at the sight of the Arduthie School Uniform. I remember you were one of the rebels Bob that went for the grey shirt as opposed to the white…. you were HARDCORE!

I liked New Zealand story on the amstrad but it used to get stuck all the time
