Damn you quicktime!
Although on my PC it's called Slowtime. it's been around since the mid 80's.

it made playing Daley Thomson's Olympics a very noisy affair

Everybody grunted a bit, think nothing of it

Noisy, maybe.
But try being caught playing Daley's with a Kemptston Pro joystick jammed between your thighs.

Positively gave my mum a shock when she approached me from behind in a particularly frenetic joystick waggling session.

i think the fact that my pants were down around my ankles that gave me away.


Edit: Ok. by mum I mean wife... and by joystick I mean cock.
Never good to be caught wanking over a spectrum loading screen shot of Daley Thomson.

Dunno -
Your Spectrum already seems to be running at 4x standard resolution, that's not bad.

^ this
also, colour isn't appearing in massive ugly 8x8 blocks. this is the spectrum of the gods! i'd pay a fortune to play dizzy on that machine.

...but it is!
It's just there are more 8x8 blocks than there should be, as my honourable colleague up there mentioned ^
( Michael Ellis mmm I love your big bugle, Thu 26 Nov 2009, 14:05, archived)

So it is!
I withdraw my comment. Except I'd still love to play Dizzy on that machine.

Fuck it, I'm going to play Dizzy on *this* machine with a nice filter to improve the graphics and make the colour look even less congruous.

Aah yes.
I upgraded the memory. Or something.
