Re: Sinclair Spectrum - 25 years old next month
I never owned one myself, but I enjoyed playing Chuckie Egg the most on my mate's Spectrum.
I was more of a BBC Model B kid... Elite, now that was a game

Re: Sinclair Spectrum - 25 years old next month
Ah Jetpac ...... remind me who wrote those games, as they were all excellent at the time . Just loved the load screens . Didn't Jetpac have a cheat though, where you stayed in top right & shot off the screen & could never get killed ?

 and yep, it was the vipers p.s If you still like to have the odd play, check out the PC game "Freelancer" by Microsoft game studios... It's a more modern version of Elite.

Re: Sinclair Spectrum - 25 years old next month
What ARE you people talking about? Never heard of any of these ... chuckie egg indeed
My 1st pc game I got hooked on was Prince of Persia. Still got it (although not played it for years). Or am I in the wrong movie here
