I still have a spectrum with a busted power unit and a box full of games in my garage

I loved my Spectrum. The loading sound on that video put a big grin on my face.

This. Harder than a diamond studded horse cock.

Manic Miner and Jet Pac were two of the greatest games ever created.

Oddly enough I think I only played those once or twice. I do remember liking New Zealand Story, Kick Start 2, Spy Hunter, Bionic Commando, Nemesis and various Dizzys though.
