Reply to: The "Banana Splits" are BACK !!!!!!

[Bob Dalek]

a VIC-20 with 3.5K and a ram pack that brought it up to 16K.

The games were on cartridge suprise suprise.

Do you know anyone out there that acutally bought an 'Oric' computer ??


I felt sorry for the fools that bought the "Commodore 16' (a down granded version of the 'Commodore 64'.

I even had a go on a mates 'Aquarius' computer by Mattel, really good fun actually although games were cartridge.

OMG so nostalgic ! a wasted youth.

Yes. Uber spod at school had one. We all laughed at him. Then everyone laughed at me and my BBC Acorn. Then everyone had Spectrums to play Jeff Minter's "Camel" games. Then the Commodore took over. Then ... dunno ... they all left school to go on the dole. Lice.

errrr.... me. Not the wisest choice. Swapped it eventually for an Acron Electron, once I'd got tired of typing Ping and Explode to get the sound effect. I.e. about 10 minutes.

PS Does anyone else remember the Terrahawks?

You can tell by this thread that the C64 and Spectrum teens are now 40 year old contractors.

ZX81 actually, with the 16k ram pack that would lose everything you had done if it wobbled while you where typing, which it did unless you epoxy'd the bugger to the back of the box!

They may be back but after watching the first episode I don't doubt that you will all be on here ranting with comments like "not as good" "when I was a kid" "dumbed down" "sacrilege" "how could they" etc...

Or maybe I am just a sceptic

I always preferred the Dickies version or:

One banana, two banana, three banana, four,
3 Hells Angels knocking at your door,
One with a Tommy gun, one with a stick,
One with a hand grenade hanging from his...tra la la, tra la la...etc.

Guess what tune just wont get out of my head now!!

One banana, two banana, three banana, four
Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more. 
Over hill and highway the banana buggies go
Comin' to bring you the Banana Split show 
Makin' up a mess of fun, makin' up a mess of fun
Lots of fun for everyone

(CHORUS)
Tra la la, la la la la 
Tra la la, la la la la 

Four banana, three banana, two banana, one 
All bananas playin' in the bright warm sun.
Flippin' like a pancake, popping like a cork 
Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper an' Snork

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Two banana, four banana, one banana, three
Swingin' like a bunch on monkeys, hangin' from a tree. 
Hey there, ev'rybody, won't you come along and see
How much like Banana Splits ev'ryone can be 

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Makin up a mess of fun
Makin up a mess of fun
Happiness for ev'ryone
Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la

Just a guess...
