Over the weekend I got all nostalgic for the old days, well for MY old days anyway, remembering the Sinclair ZX81, the Spectrum, and getting all nostalgic about my Amstrad Colour CPC464, which I still have and still works by the way.
I did a bit of searching around and found a spectrum emulator, not found an Amstrad version that lets me play tapes into the PC, but the speccy one works like that. I found a tape with a game I started years and years ago, I posted about it on my developer blog, http://www.zeroshadow.com/blog if your interested.
Its opened my eyes to a lot of stuff I did when I was younger, not just the nasty stuff your thinking of you dirty minded sod, but the programming stuff. All that Z80 machine code I wrote, ah them’s was the days.
Will post some pics of my CPC when I get it out of storage, fancy me some Treasure Island Dizzy on an 8bit machine rather than emulated. There is a version available at the codemasters site, I linked to it at the http://www.facebook.com/pages/skintgamer/223507576993?ref=ts skintgamer facebook page, along with a few other retro games and things. You should become a fan, its for everyone that is out to play games but doesn’t want to pay masses of money for them. Its free so what you waiting for.
