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.
@Nine like a ZX spectrum? ohh it would be really neat to get to play with one of those though i understand the keyboard is horrible
@Felthry Actually it's a +2A 128K? So it's got the modern more mechanical styled clacky keyboard and built in "DataCorder" tape deck. ^^
@Nine oh and now i've realized even if you were willing to ship to the us and ask a price we could afford we wouldn't be able to use it because it'd be a PAL unit and no way are we going out of our way to get a PAL television and a voltage converter (and this thing might be picky about having 50Hz too, since a lot of things from that time period synchronized things to the mains frequency for video signals i think)
@Nine now i'm thinking about how you could make a PAL-to-NTSC converter and damn i don't think this kind of thing would have even been possible at the time, with 80s technology
i wonder if they exist now though
@Nine we've actually been thinking about maybe getting a C64 or something to just, kinda try out what those old computers were like (they're before our time, we were born in 1994 and our first computer ran windows 95)
