      is that an euphemism?
      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          Once broke a Quickshot 2 plus joystick playing Yie Ar Kung-Fu on the C64.

          Handle snapped clean off.

                A bit of Nostalgia.

                I miss the analogue days. Back when you bought something tactile. Not like now.

                And back when a video game was released, working. No downloading updates in those days. I know video games are a gazillion times more complex and large, than in the past.

                When stuff came on 7 floppy disks and you spent an age swapping them over to install.

                  worldofspectrum.org is your friend then.

                  6031769 is a number Speccy fans will remember.

                    I remember it but I can't recall why... Was it the amount of KB's of memory when you turned it on including the ROM chip?
