Especially when it's at floor vibration level and right against the neighbour's wall

I agree there, I really can't believe this was 16K it's got such good graphics. But that was the Ultimate magic , every game a beauty

Games that remind me of my Dad #zxspectrum #retrogaming #Jetpac another game that really does not need to be amplified through a large radiogram, but Dad considered that the height of humour and spent a merry hour with 'farting' Jetman as it became known!

Games that remind me of my Dad #zxspectrum #retrogaming #Arcadia. Dad discovered you could connect the Speccy to a hi-fi to boost the sound. This game terrified the neighbours for a little while. It does NOT sound good amplified and not at maximum volume!

A couple of days after Dad passed away I was watching the security camera and saw this image in the sky . I like to believe it was Dad letting us know in the most unfrightning way he could that he had passed over okay #grief #deathofaparent #angel

It was always such an achievement to find a new room and so much humour in the game as well

Games that remind me of my Dad #ZXSpectrum #Retrogaming #JetSetWilly, after Dad had given up with Manic Miner along came #JetSetWilly. After learning the 'writetyper' cheat he would spend hours trying to discover as many rooms as possible.

Manic Miner is a true #retrogaming classic, I enjoyed it on the #ZXSpectrum, then in the 1990s on the #SAMCoupe which has to be the definitive #8bit version, with 60 caverns! I recently revamped the back issue of SAM Revival magazine (#9) which features the game on the coverdisk. www.samcoupe.com
