Bizarrely, I can see my speccy and zx81 from where I am sitting. I'm also reading through back issue of old computer mags at the moment. Great to read a review of the first Microsoft Mouse ("unlikely to be very popular").

Just bought H.A.W.X tonight for the pc and struggling to get a shot.

I remember spending whole saturdays typing out those spectrum games from the magazines, checking and double checking the code with my brother as most of them didn't work, then they would print an apology the next week as they had left out or misprinted some of the code!....

Favourite spectrum games :

Jet set willy
Jet Pack
Lunar Jet Man
Valhalla
Manic Miner
Scuba Dive
Wheelie

the way of the exploding fist was my first i think.

I loved Daley Thompson's Decathlon too.

Does anyone remember how one of the two joystick ports in the C64 was polled before the other? In other words (although I don't remember if it was that way round) if you had joystick 1 then the person with joystick 2 would always be polled just that fraction of a second later, so in any game which involved both players pushing and holding the joystick down to do something, the person playing with the first-polled port would win!

So it was fixed, I knew it!!!

Please tell me it was the same on the Amiga?

is that the game where your finger would go numb with all that energy pressing the button?

If you can make it to Manchester's Urbis museum between 14th May and 20th September, 2009, you might want to visit their Videogame Nation exhibition. This looks like a great exhibition for fans of early computer gaming covering the rise of computer gaming in the UK over the last 30 years.......
