Young, carefree and single.....

Though I was only 7.

How life has changed since I last played this:

A screenshot for those not at one with the home computers of 1980-odd and their whirry, scratchy noises.



For those of you using Linux, this is worth installing WINE for.

Just do it!

funny, i was just about to start a "favorate old skool computer game from the 80's 90's"

Great minds think alike eh?

The amount of time I must have spent looking for PC emulators for the Amstrad, and playing things like:

Fantasy World Dizzy
Treasure Island Dizzy
Feud
Andy Capp
Semour Goes to Hollywood
Quick Draw Mcgraw
Dangermouse
Harrier Attack
Harvey Headbanger
Fruit Machine
...and something I can never remember the name of where you were a builder and had to pick stuff up and solve puzzles.



...the list will go on. I had more than 250 tapes, my memory is rubbish now.



Tell you what my ultimate goal is though, the BBC Micro and a game called "The Magic Telephone"




Right, I'm off to the internet.

Awesome! I loved Dizzy. Also ATV, Jet Set Willy, Manic Miner etc.

I've got heaps of emulators on my PC. Got a great Amiga emulator, mega-drive, Snes and also N64 one. All great games back in the day.

Ahhh, I feel much better now for letting that out.

Back then 48k was quite sufficient, thanks very much. Floppy disk? Megabytes? I don't think so.


I learned to program BASIC on a 464, when I was 6! Here I am now....err...still programming
