Lemonade Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 The first ever game I got hooked on was "Horace Goes Skiing" for the Speccy.YouTube it or something NotBald, it's compelling stuff indeed.I had some top games on the Speccy, Head Over Heels was the bomb, and I never did manage to complete it....

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I had some top games on the Speccy, Head Over Heels was the bomb, and I never did manage to complete it....I still have one in perfect working order, but maybe for not much longer as I bought Hyper Sports for it...It's easy enough to pick one up on Ebay, games can be bought for as little as 25p.

If you opened an umbrella indoors you turned into a cooker. It was very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time I set it up there's Hyper Sports, Rock n' Wrestle, Barry McGuigan's Boxing and Super Sprint to plough through. Target Renegade is proving tricky to re-acquire though...

Frosty Jack Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Was there a Viz "Johnny Fartpants" game on the speccy?There was a Viz game, featuring a few of the characters.VIZ the Computer Game, Virgin TronixIt came on two cassettes, and took ages to load as I recall. Something about running races in different locations. I'm sure I've still got it. Still got a whole load of games in fact. And two Spectrums. One with fully working rubber keys.I was all about Jet Set Willy - I got a program from 'Black Bob' (?) who had a computer shop up Albyn way, which basically you loaded up, then straight away loaded JSW, and it allowed you to edit all the rooms, move objects about, and access a couple of secret rooms. Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 For the Dizzy geeks, you can buy a PC CD on Ebay (I got one for 2.49 ppd. In!) with heaps of Dizzy games on it, pretty much every single one except the first one for some reason with 25 bonus fan-games as well. I think it's called "Extremely Dizzy" so fill yer boots, chimps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 eh? treasure island dizzy was ace.The only bugger on that was you only got one life.
