I had an amstrad cpc464, games were cassettes. A screen in various shades of green. The **** games would load in a couple of minutes, the good ones could take half an hour, and even then, it might not work. Loved it though. Dambusters, that was a great game , had a great Bruce lee game, and Roland in the caves and Roland on the ropes, well, we all know how good those were.
I stay well away from games nowadays. Not only have I not got time, but I see my step son wasting his life away, chatting like a gangster on line to the people he's playing against. Feckin hate them in truth.
