    Never had a ZX Spectrum

    But I recognise many of those games as I played them on my old Amstrad! :)

    That's a great website... I can't figure out the controls for any of these games though!
    The arrow keys don't seem to work properly, and for example in Manic Miner I can't move left or right, I can only jump.
    Still, it's nice to see some of those games again... although most of them are quite horrible nowadays, they still bring back some nice memories. ( H )

    I still have a speccy 48 and a plus +2 upstairs!
    I used to love them, the games considering the limitations of the computer was amazing. I had a C64 too, but to me the speccy was the best (till the Amiga! ).

    had myself a sinclair zx spectrum, my favourite game was jasons gem - landing that spaceship was a bitch. Pool was a challenge, the first portable tv my dad gave me was b+w!

    From there I got a Commodore 64, was gonna upgrade to an Amiga Desktop Dynamite when I got a mega drive, it was consoles from then on. Bit soul-less in comparison though.

    I had a ZX80

    Long since dead, unfortunately. Would have been worth a few quid now.
