Re: The best unplayable demo on a YS/Crash/SU covertape: vote
Driller was one of the few demos I actually bothered ever loading - I was stunned that my Speccy could do that!

Be careful - image flipping won'r protect you!
Jeff Dieschburg, an artist in Luxembourg who took work by others, made trivial edits, and won awards with paintings of the results. Sued there by U.S. photographer Jingna Zhang, he won an early verdict in his favour, but has now lost on appeal. The court found that Dieschburg's painting "Turand...

Re: SNES -> Atari adapter doesn't work
One of the reasons mine has been unloved is that I couldn't see much happening. There's no way anyone could convince me to use social media and definitely never facebook

Downsizing
Due to stuff, I'm looking at moving to a much smaller home in Brazil. Would it be worth putting my collection in my boxes to sell there or just ebay the lot before I go?
What's got me questioning this is that I bought an old Nintendo GBA on ebay for £60 and they sell in Brazil for over £200

Re: First tape/games you got with your ZX Spectrum
I know I got Horizons but my mum wouldn't buy a tape recorder because she wanted me to learn how to program, not waste my time playing games.
Took over 2 weeks of begging to get a tape recorder as I was crying about spending all that time typing and losing it all when the computer was turned off!

Re: C5 cautionary tale
I think the main complaint being that a truck driver wouldn't see you in a C5, so a good chance of you being smeared into the tarmac. You'd not be able to use them on the pavement either. So the type of neighbourhood where you could pop down the shops would be rare? It's all 20 and 30mph around her...

Re: C5 cautionary tale
The single, biggest, mistake with the C5 was having it's launch in the middle of Winter :( I had one a few years ago and it was a great machine to tinker with and pop in to town on. Yes, it had issues like the brakes being completely inadequate but, I wish I had been able to keep it. I would definit...
