I'm PRETTY sure the spectrum DOES actually work but without having a tv I can test it on because I don't have a (assumedly) working cable I can't really tell. Supposedly the spectrum has a built in speaker but I think that's only the older versions, and the newer +2A etc send sound through the tv... So I can't even tell if the "clicks" of selecting menus or pressing keys is playing. :<
oh jeez damn i could probably get like... £100 at least for it on ebay o-o; I don't have any of the peripherals any more (which is super annoying because I DID have a really nice joystick for it, I have two kempston interfaces as well!) OR the box or manual but... I do have a fair collection of good games. Far less than I used to, I think a lot got thrown out sadly :/
genuinely kinda miffed about the joystick situation. Wonder where the bloody hell that got to?
hhh might have to sell my spectrum. :<
I wasn't gonna play it I suppose, I was gonna maybe stick it in a display case, because I can just... you know, emulate perfectly the whole thing without the wait times and stuff. Still, feels like cutting off part of my childhood.
...
....you know what on second thoughts I don't feel quite as bad about this as I did? This way at least someone will get to enjoy it too, maybe! Heck it might get used at least instead of just... sitting there. Neglected.
"This ring is cursed," the witch said, holding it in the palm of her hand. "Whoever wears it will die."
"Oh. Wow. How soon?"
"A minute before they were fated to."
"And?"
"And until then, they will have perfect health." She smiled shyly at her girlfriend. "Will you accept it?"
