I will also admit to not using my Yaroze in anger recently I hope to get back to it soon BTW you could always get a Spectrum emulator that's what I do, I still have mine in the loft same as you but the emulator I use is brilliant (expect it doesn't bleep when It's loading, but at least the modem does when it's connecting so I just pretend :) Have Fun Nigel wrote in message news:7p7jua$i8s23@chuka.playstation.co.uk... > Yeah, I remember doing graphics on the Spectrum, I went through TONS of > graph paper designing small monochrome things ( like a slow basic version of > bubble bobble, gauntlet and any other arcade game I saw and liked at the > time ).
