Magical.........

Me and my Memories...just out of school Dad bought me a new sinclair spectrum 128+ with the neverending story , Daley Thompsons decathlon ....what a innovation , took gaming to a new high ...then bought the Hobbit ...looking back now a ridiculous play on words adventure game....then there was Seabase Delta ( i still have the cassette tape) and more etc etc ..saving the west from nuclear destruction...Clive Sinclair maybe a few things but for the 128 he was a hero for me.
I spent 1000`s of hours on that machine and even mastered basic and then machine code....all in all a brilliant find Michael...

There are still a few emulators out their that are worth a look at and play...

brilliant memories ...Thank you :thumb:
