I was already laughing as I scrolled down to get the full picture in view. So true, you and that other lad with an Acorn Electron

[Uncle_Meat]

I've still got a Dragon 32. Boxed and working with the R@RE DASM assembler/dissasembler cardridge. The fun part of programming a Dragon that is the 6809 CPU has a SEX instruction. Snigger. You can assemble SEX...

 

Also got 2 Acorn Electrons. And a CBM PET too, as well as an Acorn RiscPC. Not to mention a ZX81, Speccy, VIC-20, CBM64, BBC B and a BINGO! TV tennis console amongst other stuff.

 

Clearly I need to get out more.

Greatest golf game ever.

 

 

This one for me, 4 mates playing this lead to incredible scenes.

Before our speccy we had something we called the telly game, it had pong and other games on it. It was an orange rectangular box and had probably 8 buttons for choosing the game you wanted to play. I think it came with atari like joysticks. It connected to the telly...

 

Any ideas what this could have been? It would have to be late 70's early 80's, by 1982/3 we had a speccy.

Sounds like it could have been the Binatone TV Master Mk.4

 

 

 

Like this?

[Guest ShoePiss]

Fucking hell that's it

[Uncle_Meat]

It was one of the more popular TV Pong consoles, most shops (Rumbelows, Boots, Dixons and so on) sold the Binatones. I've got one somewhere in the attic.

[lifetime fan]

I got grounded for a week as a kid for breaking one of these over my brothers head.

That's where ours will be too. I don't remember it having those wheel analogue controllers, clearly ahead of it's time. I was about 3 or 4 at this point, this is the start of my gaming timeline.

Came with body armour didn't it?

[lifetime fan]

I had that.

Think so, it was his not mine.

[Strontium]

I had the He-Man sword and shield set, happy days. And I loved my Acorn Electron, I still have it too.

Transformers toys these days are shit, they don't make 'em like this any more.

 

Mind you, you can still pick one up for £1500 on ebay.

£1500??????

 

I think it's about time I started emptying out the loft.

[gumps]

So that's how international hitmen get through customs!

[Red Dawn]

While all around me had Commodores and Spectrums I of course had to get the much maligned Amstrad

 

 

 

 

...but it did have .....

 

 

[Red Dawn]

I loved this game....

Just been having a look on eBay now and there are some on there for around £50, not sure why these ones were particularly special (there was an Optimus Prime on for £1500 too).

 

Tempted to buy some for my son.

Played this all the time.

I've never seen that before, and I'm not one for exaggeration but that's the best thing I've ever seen in my life, I curse the day I stared longingly into my ex partners cervix and my son came out instead of this.
