Kids today don’t know the nervousness and anticipation of waiting for so long for a game to load, knowing that it could fail to load, or the tape get mangled at any moment.

Haha yeh…I used to have two lists in my head. Ranking games by Favourites, and also how fast they were to load.

Yep, done all in the image, and all those too…those great spectrum days spending ages waiting for a game to load. Would always keep Jumping Jack nearby for a quick game, cause it was so fast to load compared to others.

From issue 8, here’s that letter :)

These were my period too…I still love rereading the 80s Whizzer and Chips comics.

That sounds like a perfect day…in fact I just played a game of Atic Atac on my iPad, it still holds up (although I find I can complete it most times now, which I never could as a kid).

Ah, I love Atic Atac…Chequered Flag was a good game too.

The fanzine DWB was originally Doctor Who Bulletin, it later changed to DreamWatch Bulletin when it started covering other shows, and then finally to just DreamWatch.

Ah, I love it…funny, but still exciting and at times tense…it’s definitely one of my favourite Hartnells
