I was never fortunate to have a ZX Spectrum but my mates did. Anybody remember how patient you had to be loading games! Kids today complain about millisecond delays with internet speeds. How would they have coped with a Spectrum. RIP Clive. Yeah it could be a long drawn affair. Mind you nothing to the devastation if the cassette recorder chewed game tape up😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought it down for the grandkids to see and, needless to say, they were far from impressed with the loading process and the graphics when it eventually came to life. Paperboy and Daley Thompson's decathlon were the two I loaded for them. I have to say. Once they got into it, they enjoyed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
