King Street Loon Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Found a Sensible Software tv pluggy in thing with Megadrive controllers at the back of my cupboard yesterday. Battery powered, unfortunately no power socket but I don't care as it's the first time in nearly 20 years that I've played the godlike Sensible Soccer, and it's still got the 1992 Aberdeen team in it (with badly spelled names tho)I've got that at home too. I liked Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy, Bomb Jack and Rampage as a child. Until the advent of consoles. Link to comment

Wish i'd kept all my consoles/computer systems. Emulators just aren't the same. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I've kept mine. Boxed, unused. Will be amazed if they work when they do see the light of day. Link to comment

Until the advent of consoles.Consoles were massive before the speccy, commodore 64 etc were released. There was a massive crash in '83 and the market crashed.. Mainly due to companies jumping on the bandwagon and producing shit systems. Atari were the Apple of the late 70s early 80s. Link to comment

We had that before the ZX81 then the Spectrum My folks owned one of them. As a kid I found it in the attic and brought it downstairs, like Indiana Jones clutching one of the fabled Sankara stones. It was thick with dust and reeked of age. Everyone stood around "oohing" and "ahhing" as if I had discovered the Ark of the Covenant or something. I tried to boot it up, but it didn't work, leading me to deduce it didn't run on electricity but must have worked using a mysterious alternate source of power, lost to mankind in the mists of time. Note - at this point, I was packing a 32k BBC Micro (Model B), so it should be clear how antiquated the Binatone seemed to us flash-harrys Link to comment

Clydeside_Sheep Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 You should have prayed for it to work CS min. I was too busy praying for a Commodore Amiga 500. Which I got. Edit - that's about the third time you have rolled out that joke Harcus. it doesn't get any better. This name change hasn't worked out well for you. Link to comment
