Im sorry to hear youre spending Christmas alone. If you could make it to Boro, you woukd be welcome at ours for Christmas.

I got my speccy last Sunday but I've not opened it yet as I work long hours. I've got Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off so I'm planning on using it then. Have a good Christmas anyway, people will read this in the summer and think "what's he going on about?"

Also did I mention I'm also recieving a Zx Omni laptop soon

I won't be buying anything else from this company if they keep sending bribes to people (social media influencers) on you tube.

It’s NOT a crash magazine, it’s more like a pamphlet with reviews of the included games

Would rather they released more The Spectrum consoles - currently being quoted march 2025 for delivery in UK !!!

😂 Got one it's really great

Can’t believe you didn’t add Wheelie

Wow I remember mastertronic games being absolutely terrible and always in the same type of cassette case so I knew to avoid

Thanks for the blast from the past. It takes me back to my early teens (my second home computer / console). I also had the videopac 32!! I remember having Lucozade and a comic (2000AD) when I was sick!

Im sorry to hear about your carry on with the hospital. Ive had faff ons like that over the years. You learn to take it on the chin. Aslong as you take care of yourself at home and all of that, you should be fine in between appointments and treatments etc. Arcade conversions werebt something i was massively aware of back in the 80s. I heard about them but i cant remember playing many arcade games and their home video game conversions at around the same time. I dont remember there being an arcade in Middlesbrough where i grew up so i only got to play them when we were out for the day at Redcar or Whitby, which wasnt that often, or the handful of family holidays we had. No one else was interested in the arcades so i had only have a quick go of whatever i had the spare change for. I did manage to get my parents to pay a quid for me to have a go on the Star Wars game, the one you sit in and it moves around. That was amazing at the time! I think i remember and prefer Ikari Warriors the most. Im sure it must have been an influence on The Chaos Engine, which is one of my favourite games 🙂. By the way, i like your stories and memories. As you can tell, i can ramble on reminiscing myself a bit when something sparks my memory off 😉.

The Arcade games that I loved in the arcade and on the Speccy... Outrun and Chase HQ... two racers I know, but also games that I played a lot of in both formats. Operation Wolf when it came to shoot-em-ups, Bubble Bobble was my platformer of choice, and I also loved the original Star Wars cab. We'd go to Littlehampton each year as I knew that there was a machine in the seafront arcade. The Speccy conversion was almost as good. As for these choices, I loved Bombjack, Mikie was a perennial favourite, but Green Bert was just too hard for me. Never played Kung Fu Master or Ikari Warriors though.

Great video, all the best mate have a good Xmas and new year!

Shocking that Green Beret was not a Crash smash

Another great video... I am really enjoying owning my first Spectrum. How about a video on Spectrum exclusives? I have been trying to find a few ( The Benny Hill Game is a hoot!)

I'm another one guilty of thinking Konami had a J in it as a kid thanks to the font 😂. Some good choices here 👍

The spectrum version of bomb jack was and still is the best version i've ever played

Great stuff. 'Rampage' was a cracker in the arcade and a very decent Speccy conversion too. I won a copy through a Crash competition as well. Looking forward to the next video. Cheers.

Kung fu master was dogshit on the spectrum...bought it on a school trip...was so disappointed ,as i too loved the arcade game .

All of the five Arcade conversions are absolutely retrospectively brilliant 😺👍🕹️. In fact, MIKIE is still #1 on my gaming 🕹️ list for the Commodore 64 😺👍🕹️. The Speccy 48K version of this game looks absolutely brilliant 😺👍🕹️. IKARI WARRIORS is the first Arcade conversion, i have ever played on my Amiga 500 😺👍🕹️. And it's still one of the best 😺👍🕹️🕹️! A big retrospective like 👍🕹️ from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮.

Catching up with your vids, added this list to your first list, then thought you’d perhaps not have gone back and looked at any recent comments, but here’s an amended list based on some of the ones you’d already suggested for adding: Elite was by far my all time favourite game, lost days, weeks and months playing that, other games on my list to add are Valhalla, Mugsy, Tir na nog, Dun Darach, lords of Midnight, Cyclone, Gunfright, Underwurlde, 3D Starstrike and finally Dragontorc a follow up to Avalon, All were must plays back in the day.

Once games can be added to the carousel I will buy one.

Where's the rocky horror picture show?😅

This was a great video!😁

Loved this video. I completely forgot about Track Suit Manager, so thank-you!. Ive just received my Spectrum and absolutely love it. Keep up the awesome work.

The Spectrum and PCUAE v5.1.1.R2 (9-12-20024)

I would watch more videos...if your nerves could cope! 😉

The map looks like it uses google earth. Disney is west of the airport. I think you went north, didnt you? Anyway, for a future video its not far from the airport and im sure youll find it 😎. Ive never been one for flight simulators. The closest i ever got was Knights of the Sky on the amiga 😂. I hope it went well after your trip to the hospital and youre taking care of yourself.

hope everything went well buddy

Making an Amiga 500 replica seems to be like going back to the moon again.

Just to echo what all others have said and hope things go well with further tests and procedures. Indeed, health and loved ones (including pets 😊) do come first and everyone who matters seems to understand that here, so just do what you need to and we look forward to hearing from you when you’re back. Take it easy and all the best. Oh and a big thanks for all the content up to now… I know for me as a newcomer I still have plenty of great stuff to catch up on so I’ll certainly be kept busy in the meantime 😁

Hope everything went well, sending best wishes

this is selling for over £180 on amazon - is that right?? full of bugs and almost the cost of an xbox?! surely the price can't be right?

That mental looking plane is called the Guppy, I believe Airbus uses it for shipping fuselages and other aircraft parts 😉

centre of the world starts at Milton Keynes lol.

certainly beats 1998 version

No apologies needed, all the best dude!

Hope your procedure goes well and you recover quickly

Dawn of the dead was called Zombi in Europe...Sad horror nerd trivia there.

Did you intentionally mean tto make this video 48 minutes long?

Good luck mate

Good luck!

As a c64 user I'll be adding games that didn't appear (batman, deathchase) and those that were superior to the versions we had ( chase hq, super robin hood) and alternative versions. ( Dan dare, kwik snax). And maybe try some modern games ( wonderful dizzy) 😁

Good luck buddy

The Goonies? The C64 was solid gold! I don't know why Crash didn't love it?

Know with ops how they affect you mentally as well as the physical part. I had spinal surgery last oct, and it takes time to mend, so as much as we all love your content, don't rush things to come back until you're ready.

Look after yourself - health comes first, KZbin way down the list!

Thanks for the kind wishes everyone! Normal service will be resumed in a couple of days. fingers crossed! **It was actually a non-event today in the end. I need a different test**

No need to apologise but thank you for explaining. You take care and i hope it goes well.

No need to apologise, but thanks for doing so! Take care, and look after yourself 🙂
