Java: www.zx81stuff.org.uk/zx81/jtyone.html

Back at my folks I have a Spectrum +2A. The original actually Sinclair 48K has died :( So, I think, has the DKTronics plastic-key shell we bought to make it a dimly pleasant computer to type on. I do have a massive load of tapes that are probably now all dead.

# Fuck me
Great link.!

It's INSANE what they did with that hardware; that site alone shows the evolution of programming from simple*, advanced, extreme** and honed.

* wanted to used the word basic
** not meaning the type of development

# The only game which I've ever been completely captivated by is Chuckie Egg on the BBC Micro.
Do you know of a faithful reproduction of it for Windows? I couldn't see it on your link.

# there's a couple of chuckie egg remakes listed here
www.worldofspectrum.org/remakes.cgi

no idea if they're any cop but they're worth checking out, at least

or there's this: www.repton3.co.uk/chuckieegg.php

# no problem
only issue might be it's not totally trivial to play it without being online. i've never played chuckie egg before. i got to the second screen. i think i should hand in my geek badge and crawl beneath a bridge or something.

I'll happily endorse any geek badge you need endorsing.

# Good :)
I also found a remake of Chaos online that works remarkably well. If you were a BBC owner you'll have missed out on the glories of Chaos. It was glorious. www.vectorlight.net/games/chaos_tournament.aspx

# fuck me!
fantastic stuff :)

i think there's still more in worldofspectrum.org but there you have to download and run off a local emulator. plus i may be wrong anyway, there's a shitload there
