Happy Birthday ZX Spectrum...

[Parkey]

25 years old this week! Those were the days - none of this clever-clogs graphics, fancy-pants controllers and pretty LEDs we have now...

Sir Clive; we salute you (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6572711.stm)

Don't forget the rubber keys (y)

We also had a ZX81 in our home before the Spectrum.

Binatone, Spectrum, Pacman, Commodore.
ZX-81, Donkey Kong, fucking high score.

Pushed it to the limit couldn't push it any more.

Wanna be a fuckin' robot after smokin' loads of draw.

They made them in in a factory in Dundee! Both my cousins worked there we we never without the latest model when the rubber keys got updated, then 128K models came out.

So many fond memories. Skool Daze, Chucky Egg, Commando, Emelyn Hughes Soccer, Target Renegade and shit.
