Jet Set Willy 2, where you could go in to space via the cartography room (very clever how they did that).
Hypersports
Daley Thompsons Supertest
Way of the exploding fist
Bombjack
Booty
Graham Gooch's test cricket
Chuckie Egg
Deathchase
 
Chuckie Egg was better for the computers you used to get in school with the black and orange keys
 
Yep, thats the one, BBC. I thought it was that, but didn't want to make a **** of myself because it just didn't sound right. You had to prove you'd paid your TV license before you were allowed to go on them.
 
I remember all of these games as I used to play them on my younger cousins Spectrum after he got the Spectrum and I got the ZX81 on the same Christmas. I was in ****ing tears when I loaded the Formula 1 game which consisted of a fixed grey square (supposed to be a McLaren I think) with wavy black squares moving down the screen so slowly that you could have a dump or make a cup of tea before having to press the left or right button to stop it from crashing into the walls. I told you we was poor.

Was that not the ZX80?
 
Nah that was the first one, I had the ZX81 with a 16k Ram pack hanging out the back. It scarred me for a long time.
 
I had an Atari 600. It's where I did my first bit of programming:

Ready
10 Print "Hello"
20 GoTo 10
Run

Hours of fun!
 
<laugh> I remember it well. I've tried telling my boy about stuff like this but he just looks at me totally disinterested and disgusted that I'm bothering to tell him this bullshit, and then I feel old as ****.

Sad ain't it....

A woman I worked with told me about how she found her old walkman and gave it to her 7 year old son and he had no idea what a cassette was....he started using it and it wasn't untill she told him a few weeks later that he figured out you could turn it over for more songs on the other side.

I feel really ****ing old when I try and talk to kids about games on cassettes and they just look at me blankly..
