Spectrum

[TrongaMonga]

Anyone remember it? My father had one, and I've played it since I was a very little boy. I loved it

This is the loading screen, it had those strange stripes, had a total chaos of sounds, and took a lot of time to load anything.

And the game I remember the most is Rick Dangerous:

I've never played it myself, but I know of a few sites which offer emulators for it. What operating system do you run (Windows 95, 98, or whatever)? Maybe I can find you an emulator and rom for it so you could play it on your computer, assuming you don't still have a working model of the original system.

Oh, don't worry about emulators

Spectrum is very, very old. It's older than me.

Wowie! Hmm..so it was made like somewhere in the 1980's then?

That looks neat, reminds me of nintendo but less colors.

I think the lack of colors actually gives it an interesting look. It's definitely far from bland. I've never actually seen one, but if I ever do find one that works, I just might buy it

You guys know the sound of dial-up modems dialing up?

Sum it to the nails of Helga the German Fraülein in the blackboard, and you'll know the noise it made at loading
