Following the success of the Amiga Classics thread.

Anyone have a speccy? Bask in the nostalgia here!

About 4 colours on screen at any one time, sound effects put to shame by modern mobile phones, loading times of 15 minutes and upwards, games costing £1.50 at ASDA. Golden Age!

So what games did you procure for your little rubber keyed friend?

The Spectrum was great. Mine still works!

I remember going out before school and getting a Speccy mag with games on it.

Games like Maze Chase, Formula 1, Super Sprint, First Division Manager were all great fun.

There was also Super Trolley, loads of others. All the memories are flooding back.

*goes to find his Spectrum* :)
