Silly.

Good one that, works well.

Your screen grabs n music n such are a little mixed-source I think but I'm not gonna be a pedantic dick about it, just mentioning it 'cos somebody out there will!

This is a normal post You're right.
I only made this to ease some boredom. Didn't take too much effort with it, so your comments are fine.

Edit: SHIT!!! you can't hear the Spectrum when the camera is on Vader. This is definately not right, and it wasn't like that when I uploaded it!!!!

Edit 2- the sequel : it's ok on my computer so I think my iPhone only plays the left channel. How odd.

Darth Vader's No also exists without the soundtrack: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3FnKPyjLAc

Nevertheless, this video has been clicked hard.

How is that possible? (Rhetorical question). Anyway, I have recorded that for future projects. Maybe.

Thanks.

This is a normal post Yes, young lady.
Do you *have* to wear so much make-up? And pull that skirt down; you'll catch a cold.
And for god's sake, tuck your norks in; no-one's impressed.

This is a normal post Harrumphs and angrily rustles Sunday Telegraph,
as the Vengaboy's "Rocket to Uranus" from Herb's room disturbs the quiet sunday afternoon.
Again.

This is a normal post Excellent
and it's surprising how much I tolerated the extra minute of loading time just so there's a picture to look at.

Trivia time: The data that is still being received from the Voyager probe is sent at a similar baud rate as loading a Speccy game. And when was the last time you heard the term baud-rate?

This is a normal post Real trivia time -
That 'a few minutes later' isn't the end of the game loading. You can tell from the repetition in the sound that it's still loading screen memory.

This is a normal post I decided (for your sakes)
that I wouldn't get it to load in real-time. It just loads the screen.

This is a normal post where can I play that game?
I last played that in c.1988 aged 8 in an arcade in Newquay.

I put 30p in and didn't know what the hell I was doing. I sat there, too small to see properly and did 4 x figure of eights with the crosshair, then 4 x up and down, then 4x figure 8s (repeat...) whilst hammering the triggers shooting anything that moved and trying to shoot the sticky out bits at the sides of the screen. Didn't understand what anything was; only found out decades later when I stumbled across the machine in an arcade in Clacton pier and realised the sticky out bits at the side of the screen were the X-Wings laser guns.

Dad came and got me after about an half an hour. I think I completed it, or was doing well, because the game just went on and on. Just kept going.

Same as with G-Loc, Thunderhawk and Afterburner. I once put 30p in After-burner and G-Loc was there for an hour both times. And Knights of the Round on the ferry back from Calais - the machine turned off and I was still going, button bashing away. And Goldenaxe. The only arcade I ever completed was Streetfighter 2.

Incidentally, Clacton pier had Operation Wolf, Lethal Enforcers, Chase HQ, and Enduro Racer.

Just don't put a £1 coin in - you'll be there all day.

This is a normal post Have you looked at the MAME software?
You can play thousands of original arcade games on that.
