We had a Philips Videopac G7000, then a Dragon 32... I'd have put money on you having a HAL 9000 A spare one bought cheap, to go with the old E-type I'd love one. Caked in dust. Speech module gone. |

I just referenced some Commodore Amiga pornography on Keith's article.
I never actually saw the demo / pornography I referenced. It just existed in the playground lore.

The San Andreas fault* is due to completely rupture and tectonic forces take California off as an island heading NNW up the Canadian coast. I'm surprised they haven't sown the fault with nukes and sent Bizarroland off on its long awaited journey... *Why fault? "Whose fault!" In California, lawyers will soon be casting around for someone to blame... |

I think I've sorted that lot out over on the home computers article. I've had my pound of flesh.

My mate had a strip poker game for the Amstrad. Certainly an upgrade on writing 'BOOBS' on your calculator in upside down numbers. |

It had a monochrome green take on 'Samanatha Fox's Strip Poker'. The pictures were all hand drawn. Similar to Gary Lineker in Gary Lineker's Superstar Soccer:  |

Gary lineker strip poker sounds like something that should never happen. Presenting in his pants was bad enough.

I wonder how Lineker got the number of the Yeti hoax's barber. At least the fake Yeti won't try and sell you crisps. |

Game streaming went on until shortly before midnight yesterday. Not enough sleep as a result, but at least we have finished Chapter 1 of Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky after only roughly 30 hours. YouTube has done something horrible to its live chat with constant disconnects, might try Twitch next time. Today's rewards of the Tintin loot boxsurprise mechanics: - Tintin in the Land of the Soviets
- Tintin in America
- Land of Black Gold

I have only just looked at 'Keef's' computer ranking just now. I assume amipal is at least happy with the confirmation that the ZX81 is better than the Atari ST? |

Sam Fox chat? This reminds me that I possess about 8 topless 'The Sun' pictures (A3) in monochrome, Linda Lusardi is there as well. They are stamped on the rear by said newspaper.
How did I come by them? Draw up a chair and gather round, unless you're the filth, in which case leave now.
My old pal Ray, who was a bit of a villain, turned up at my parents house (I was about 17) and asked me to come outside for a chat. I remember that he was nervous and sweaty. He opened the boot of his car, gave me a roll of glossy papers and asked me to 'look after them'. We never spoke of them again.

The fact that the Amiga got into the top five, let alone silver place, makes me happy. I honestly thought Keef would put the C64 ahead of it. |

Xmas 1985 or 86 my Auntie Jane gave me a Sam Fox calendar as a present. Never went up on the wall weirdly enough. Perhaps if I had owned a lockup at that age.
Hello.
Games. Err, nah. Hopefully tonight I'll batter on with GTA story mode.
Telly. Good Girls.
In work tomorrow. Had to put in our holidays for Christmas this year today. Got less days left than I thought which is a pisser. As the 25th is a Fri I'm losing a days holiday. Baws.

I'd love to see what Twitter would have to say about a national newspaper promoting itself with topless 16yr old girls.

Hi
I've been busy. Work and hospital appointments. One was via video link. My own on screen nurse. And she called me! Well, I had to hang around in a virtual waiting room then she called. Still counts.
Now I'm off to read Keefs article and the comments as I haven't had chance yet.
I think I'll also put Holland v Italy on in the background. Goooo Orange!
Cool story etc

Also, pre Amstrad CPC464, as Dad was a teacher then each holidays he'd bring home a BBC Micro! No school AND a computer! Well I think it was a BBC Micro. It had games on a floppy disc.
So, I'm claiming* that too.
6th!! Woo-hoo!
*I'm not really.
