Vancouver Jogger Apr 2020 9:13am, 23 Apr 2020 4,593 posts	Quote Pin Vancouver Jogger Just taken this out from under the bed. There's a box with a joystick, a tape recorder, and loads of games under there too. Given that the lockdown is going on for a bit longer it may yet see the light of day...

Sprout Apr 2020 9:24am, 23 Apr 2020 1,088 posts	Quote Pin Sprout Spent so much time on the rubber keyboard Spectrum!, remember using a tennis ball playing Daley Thompson decathlon game..didn't work very well! A broken wobbly joystick was much better. Good memories.
